We evaluated the effect of the weft yarn on the pressure sensing properties of textile sensors on the basis of compression properties of the textile. The sensing load of compression supported by the weft yarns of the textile sensor corresponded to the intercept of the line showing the relationship between the sensing load before cutting the weft yarn and the length in the weft direction of the compression jig with the rectangular compression area. As a result, it was found that the sensing pressure of the textile sensor can be controlled by changing the kind of weft yarn. When the length of the compression jig becomes small, the deformation of weft yarns in the textile sensor has a large influence on the sensing pressure of the textile sensor. In addition, the small value of compression pressure is sensible by using the textile sensor with large length of hollow. This implies that the kind of weft yarn affects the value of sensing pressure.
