  • Determination of Dehairing, Carding, Combing and Spinning Difference from Lama Type of Fleeces
    International Journal of Applied Science and Technology Vol. 2 No. 1; January 2012 Determination of dehairing, carding, combing and spinning difference from Lama type of fleeces Franka1, E.N., Hicka, M.V.H. and Adotb, O. a.- SUPPRAD2 Program, Catholic University of Córdoba, Argentina b.- SUPPRAD Program. Habitat Foundation, Buenos Aires, Argentina Abstract Mixed fleeces as Llama fleeces, require a special textile process known as dehairing. This process behaves differently according to the Lama type of fleeces dehaired. Dehairing generates structural modifications on textile raw material as it eliminates the longer and straighter (coarser) fibres. This has a marked effect on the following worsted or woolen spinning processes. This work was designed for to test these effects with the objective to report how the type of fleeces affects dehairing, worsted or woolen combing and spinning performances. From a textile behavior point of view, a higher fiber diameter variation was detected in double coated fleeces than in luster fleeces. Luster fleeces have a lower bulk potential than double coated fleeces and a lower comb yield due to the higher dehairing effect. It is also this type that produces less ends protruding from the yarn, which may account in part for their diminished prickle effect. Key words: Lama fibre, textile trials, bristle, prickle, coarse fibres. 1. Introduction A characteristic peculiar to the fibre of South American Camelids (SAC) is the presence of a mixed fleece. This is the reason for their textiles processing requiring „dehairing‟ to achieve a superior quality product, because this process consists in the removal of the coarser fibers (Russel, 1990).

When you spin, you put twist into fibres so that they hold together to form a continuous thread. Navajo Plying - Making a three-ply yarn 8. Designed to appeal to the beginning spinner, tips and hints are provided that illustrate how easy, enjoyable, and relaxing spinning can be. When I was in Kenya, women spun Romney wool chiefly "in the grease," but it often locked in large amounts of dirt in the process. Spin spin spin! Covers fiber characteristics, preparation and spinning, choosing a wheel, and crafting the finished yarn into useful and attractive pieces. I Made It! Leave the original loop of fiber anchored on the spindle hook. Description If you are a knitter or crocheter looking to take the step from just using manufactured yarn to making your own this is a great book to get you started. A bunch of loose fibers will fall apart if you pull on their ends. Launching a Patreon! First and foremost, you want a balanced drop spindle that spins true. Either one will do just fine to learn on. It is also much easier to learn to spin wool than silk, or cotton and other vegetable fibres.

  • This Tutorial Will Explain What a Balanced Plied Yarn Is, and H
    An HJS Studio Tutorial: Spinning Silk Caps I am proud to welcome Carol Weymar, a self-taught spinner and dyer of silk caps. I was much struck by the beauty of her work when I saw her website, so I asked her to write an ar- ticle, as silk is something I have no skill spinning. I hope you'll be as inspired by her expla- nation as I was! About Silk Caps Silk caps are made from cultivated cocoons that have been degummed and stretched over a frame shaped like a bell. They consist of a number of extremely thin layers; each layer is one cocoon. A cap "bell" is roughly two dozen caps, weighing about a pound altogether, which are fastened together at their tops and covered by one large cap whose edges are drawn out and tied together at the bottom to make a neat bundle. Cap silk is one of the most underrated types of silk available to the handspinner. It has its quirks, certainly, but mastering this form of silk is well worth your effort. It displays the beau- tiful luster of all its sister silks, but has the advantage of being a nearly continuous fiber. This means you can spin it to a very fine thread and it will be strong. It makes an excellent warp. It is very versatile; you can spin it into beautiful yarns, you can draw it into fine roving and knit or embroider with it in its unspun form, and you can blend it with other fibers to add bright color and gleaming highlights.

  • Analysis of the Performance of Sewing Threads Manufactured from Conventional and Compact Ring-Spun Yarns
    Sevil Yeşilpınar Analysis of the Performance of Sewing Dokuz Eylul University Threads Manufactured from Conventional Department of Textile Engineering 35100 Bornova, İzmir, Turkey E-mail: [email protected] and Compact Ring-spun Yarns Abstract The compact spinning system produces a yarn structure which is different from the structure of conventional spun yarn as the result of the elimination of the spinning triangle. New perspectives introduced by compact spinning have proved their worth in all textile processes, from yarn production to the finishing stages. In this study, the seam strengths of sewing threads produced by conventional and compact spun-ring systems were investigated together with strength tests before and after washing. The results were evaluated with SPSS software. It was found out that the difference between the seam strength of sewing threads produced from conventional ring and compact yarns were not of major statistical significance, and nor was the difference in seem strength before and after washing. Additionally, the effect of the gassing process on compact sewing threads was established. The results allow us to recommende that the gassing process should not be applied to sewing threads made of compact yarns. Key words: seam strength, compact yarn, sewing thread, gassing. distinctive features of compact yarns.

    The Threshing Barn Craft Workshop News and Calendar Summer to Winter 2013 On the Move We have decided to sell the farm and move on to the next exciting adventure (watch this space). The Threshing Barn will be coming with me, so don’t panic you’ll still be able to get your supplies. So would you be interested to follow your dream of running a small holding of 36 acres with the workshop? You could live in a beautiful upgraded Grade 2 listed farmhouse full of old features. In the courtyard are the buildings we have used for the craft workshop with business use planning on. Then there’s the original Threshing Barn ready for conversion subject to planning permission. There are 2 new agricultural barns and secure workshop. We have lived here for nearly 16 years running our vision for a sustainable farm and associated craft business. My children live in Australia, Hong Kong and London and now being a grannie I want to spend more time with them and this is not possible with livestock. Contact us for details of our agents. New Website With the growth of our mail order business the website has been rebuilt on a more user friendly, more informative basis. You still need to phone or email with your questions and orders. The glitches are being ironed out and I thank Pete our website guru for his patience. He now knows the difference between a stick shuttle, a boat shuttle and an end delivery shuttle!!! It has been a marathon on his part, literally as he crippled himself last week whilst running a half marathon, so he’s had time to recover working on our website.

  • 7. Wool Combing
    7. Wool Combing Errol Wood Learning objectives On completion of this topic you should be able to: • Outline the objectives of wool combing • Describe the design of a typical rectilinear comb • Explain the steps in rectilinear combing – feeding, initial combing, final combing and drawing off, and sliver formation • Discuss the means by which noils are removed, and the balance required in setting the amount to be removed • Explain the purpose of re-combing • Calculate: tear ratio, noil(%), romaine, regain and combing production • Discuss the factors that affect the combing quality of fine wools Key terms and concepts Combing (Nobel and rectilinear), nips per minute, doublings, noils, finisher gilling, packaging, re- combing, tear, noil(%), romaine, percent fibres less than 30 mm, combing production. Introduction to the topic Wool combing is a comprehensive term when used in its widest sense, and it embraces all the operations carried out in a topmaking plant. It includes the processes of raw wool scouring, drying, carding, backwashing and preparer gilling. Then follows the actual combing operation and the sequence of topmaking processes concludes with two gilling steps called top finishing (or finisher gilling). Combing is not included in the semiworsted or woollen processing routes. Wool combing, the single process, is indispensable in the manufacture of a worsted yarn. The card has disentangled the fibres in the mass of scoured wool and has mixed them in a roughly parallel formation. However, during the carding process many fibres will have been broken, and the card sliver will consist of a variety of fibre lengths. Some vegetable matter will have been removed but fragments remain.
