  • Effect of Twist on the Physical Properties of a Number 7S Yarn
    EFFECT OF TWIST ON THE PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF A NUMBER 7S YARN By F. R. McGowan, Charles W. Schoflstall, and A. A. Mercier ABSTRACT This investigation was made to determine the most suitable twist for manu- facturing the yarn to be used in the Pima post office bag investigation. Data were obtained on the relation of the twist to the breaking strength, diameter of the yarn, yarn count, contraction, and angle of twist. While these data were not sufficiently extensive to attempt to fix definite formula for these relations, it is thought that the tabular and graphical relation studied in this investigation will be useful for the cotton manufacturer. The most suitable twist for the yarn to be used in the Pima mail bags was found to be about 12 turns per inch. CONTENTS Page I. Introduction 85 II. Purpose 86 III. Method of manufacture 86 IV.

INTRODUCTION There are many different ideas regarding the amount of twist 1 which should be given to a cotton yarn to serve any specific purpose. These opinions have been founded more or less on observation and fact, but sometimes they have no sound reasonable basis. For in- stance, the terms " hosiery twist," " warp twist," " filling twist," etc., are used with numerous ideas as to just what they comprise, for they vary considerably from mill to mill, and even within the organization of a single mill marked variations in practice occur.

  • Yarn 101 with Fancy Tiger
    Yarn 101 with Fancy Tiger Chapter 1 - Introduction Overview (inspiring music) - Hi, I'm Jaime. - And I'm Amber. We're from Fancy Tiger in Denver, Colorado. We have a craft shop and in our shop we carry a lot of different yarns. We really love different fibers and different types of yarn. We're going to tell you today a little bit about what we look for in a yarn. - It can be intimidating and overwhelming sometimes to go into a yarn shop and see all of the different types of yarns that are available. So, today in Yarn 101, we're gonna teach you everything we know about yarn. We're gonna teach you how it's made, what to look for when picking out yarn for a project, what the different gauges are, what the different fibers are, the difference between plant fibers and protein fibers. - We'll cover a little bit of everything about yarn. (inspiring music) Chapter 2 - Natural Fibers Yarn overview - We're gonna talk about how yarn is made. This is a piece of fiber and yarn is made from lots of different fibers and it's the same whether it's a plant fiber or a protein fiber like wool. As you can see, when it's just in the fiber form, it is very easy to pull apart. So in order to make yarn twist is added to the fiber. And by adding twist it then makes it really strong. This is how yarn is made. - This is called a single.

  • Weave Structure and Image Pattern Exploration for Modern Double-Cloth Design Development by Deploying Digital Technology
    Volume 10, Issue 4, 2018 Weave Structure and Image Pattern Exploration for Modern Double-cloth Design Development by Deploying Digital Technology Ken Ri Kim, Lecturer, Loughborough University, United Kingdom ABSTRACT The use of digital technology can open up new opportunities for Jacquard fabric to provide novel forms of decorative fabrics. In additional to color, texture and material, multiple layer format such as double-cloth is considered a crucial design element. In using the traditional weaving method, double-cloth design features are limited to abstract styles (i.e., stripes and color blocks). However, by deploying digital technology it is possible to depict much complicated fashion on both sides of a fabric. Two distinguished images are realized through weft yarn colors of which face, and back layer equally offer unique design novelty that was not possible with existing weaving methods. Therefore, this study firstly explored on a weave structure development which is capable of presenting pictorial images on both sides of a fabric. Once the weave structure format is finalized, further experiment is carried out with the CMYK color threads to explore the possibility of expanding a weave color scope for double-cloth. Based on the two experiments results, the details of weave structure and the image pattern design are explained to propose new types of modern double-cloth. Keywords: Double-cloth, Weave structure design, Pictorial image, Weave color expansion 1. Introduction contrast, in modern digital weaving as each Double cloth possesses at least two sets warp thread is threaded into individual hooks, of warp and weft yarns primarily engaged in higher capability and flexibility results from generating its own layer of fabric to form the loom setting (Ishida, 1994).

INTRODUCTION Cotton Incorporated developed a totally new novelty yarn with a linen look which can be produced on conventional mill machinery without special attachments. It is called "linen look" because it simulates long slubs common to linen yarn but is made using 100% cotton. The slubs are formed by using small amounts of comber noils (short fibers) in the final drawing operation. One of the main targets for this yarn is women's wear fabrics for blouses and skirts. In the current work, counts of 18/1 Ne were spun. The effective count range of this type yarn is projected to be from 8/1 Ne to 28/1 Ne. Example: Linen-Look vs. Regular Yarn (Ne 18/1 Ring TM 3.8) 2 FIBER ANALYSES 1.

  • Textiles Under Mughals
    Chapter V Textiles under Mughals- The advent of the Mughal dynasty gave an undeniable boost to production of the up-market textile, as to other craft. Textiles are singled out for mentioned by Abul Fazl, the minister and biographer of Akbar (1556-1605), in his Ain-i-Akbari, compile in the 1590‟s as a subject in which the emperor took particular interest. Akbar favoured woollen garment – the chosen wear of Sufis (Muslim mystics) – „from his indifference to everything that is worldly‟ in preference to the richer stuffs. His penchant for wool is also indicated by the steps he took to improve shawl manufacture; especially in the relation to dyes and width of fabric.1 Ain-i- Akbari goes into fascinating details on the manner of classifying garments in the imperial wardrobe (toshkhana). The textiles were arranged according to the date of entry which was recorded, sometime with other information, on a label tacked on to the piece (practice which survived in provision toshkhana into the 20th century). Price, colour and weight were also taken into account. Within these boundaries, textile took precedence according to the nature of the day, astrologically auspicious or otherwise on which they were received. A further refinement took into account the colours, of which thirty five are listed in the order of precedence. Abul Fazl further records that imperial workshops had been set up in the cities of Lahore, Agra, Fatehpur Sikri and Ahmedabad, where the best of the local craftsmen were requisitioned to supply the needs of the court.2 Persian masters were brought in to teach improved techniques.
