  • A Research on Yarn and Fabric Characteristics of Acrylic/Wool/Angora Blends
    (REFEREED RESEARCH) A RESEARCH ON YARN AND FABRIC CHARACTERISTICS OF ACRYLIC/WOOL/ANGORA BLENDS AKRİLİK/YÜN/ANGORA LİFİ KARIŞIMLARINDAN ÜRETİLEN İPLİK VE KUMAŞLARIN ÖZELLİKLERİ ÜZERİNE BİR ARAŞTIRMA Gamze SÜPÜREN MENGÜÇ * Ege University, Emel Akın Vocational Training School, 35100, Bornova-İzmir, Turkey Received: 05.01.2016 Accepted : 09.03.2016 ABSTRACT Acrylic fibers are one of the most commonly used synthetic fibers and due to its low thermal conductivity, good shape retention and durability properties, they have a large application area in knitted garment industry. Acrylic fibers are also used in blends to benefit from more prominent features of other fibers. Wool with having good wrinkle resistance, moisture absorption and warmth is a good blend material for acrylic. In order to get superior tactile properties, luxury animal fibers can also be used in acrylic blends, despite there are spinning difficulties and production limitations for these fibers. In this study, acrylic fiber and its blends with wool and Angora rabbit fiber were investigated for their yarn and fabric properties. According to the experimental results and the statistical analyses, it was concluded that, blending acrylic fiber with wool and Angora rabbit fiber, increases the CVm, thin/thick places and neps of the yarn. Yarns containing 100% acrylic and 70% acrylic/10% wool/20% angora have the highest tensile strength. In case of yarn friction coefficients, 70% acrylic /20% wool /10% angora containing yarn has the highest coefficient of yarn to pin and yarn to yarn friction values. However, 70% acrylic/30% angora and 100% acrylic yarns have lower values, supplying smoother yarn surface.

  • Camelids: New Players in the International Animal Production Context
    Tropical Animal Health and Production (2020) 52:903–913 https://doi.org/10.1007/s11250-019-02197-2 REVIEWS Camelids: new players in the international animal production context Mousa Zarrin1 & José L. Riveros2 & Amir Ahmadpour1,3 & André M. de Almeida4 & Gaukhar Konuspayeva5 & Einar Vargas- Bello-Pérez6 & Bernard Faye7 & Lorenzo E. Hernández-Castellano8 Received: 30 October 2019 /Accepted: 22 December 2019 /Published online: 2 January 2020 # Springer Nature B.V. 2020 Abstract The Camelidae family comprises the Bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus), the dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius), and four species of South American camelids: llama (Lama glama),alpaca(Lama pacos)guanaco(Lama guanicoe), and vicuña (Vicugna vicugna). The main characteristic of these species is their ability to cope with either hard climatic conditions like those found in arid regions (Bactrian and dromedary camels) or high-altitude landscapes like those found in South America (South American camelids). Because of such interesting physiological and adaptive traits, the interest for these animals as livestock species has increased considerably over the last years. In general, the main animal products obtained from these animals are meat, milk, and hair fiber, although they are also used for races and work among other activities. In the near future, climate change will likely decrease agricultural areas for animal production worldwide, particularly in the tropics and subtropics where competition with crops for human consumption is a major problem already. In such conditions, extensive animal production could be limited in some extent to semi-arid rangelands, subjected to periodical draughts and erratic patterns of rainfall, severely affecting conventional livestock production, namely cattle and sheep.

  • South American Camelids – Origin of the Species
    SOUTH AMERICAN CAMELIDS – ORIGIN OF THE SPECIES PLEISTOCENE ANCESTOR Old World Camels VicunaLLAMA Guanaco Alpaca Hybrids Lama Dromedary Bactrian LAMA Llamas were not always confined to South America; abundant llama-like remains were found in Pleistocene deposits in the Rocky Mountains and in Central America. Some of the fossil llamas were much larger than current forms. Some species remained in North America during the last ice ages. Llama-like animals would have been a common sight in 25,000 years ago, in modern-day USA. The camelid lineage has a good fossil record indicating that North America was the original home of camelids, and that Old World camels crossed over via the Bering land bridge & after the formation of the Isthmus of Panama three million years ago; it allowed camelids to spread to South America as part of the Great American Interchange, where they evolved further. Meanwhile, North American camelids died out about 40 million years ago. Alpacas and vicuñas are in genus Vicugna. The genera Lama and Vicugna are, with the two species of true camels. Alpaca (Vicugna pacos) is a domesticated species of South American camelid. It resembles a small llama in superficial appearance. Alpacas and llamas differ in that alpacas have straight ears and llamas have banana-shaped ears. Aside from these differences, llamas are on average 30 to 60 centimeters (1 to 2 ft) taller and proportionally bigger than alpacas. Alpacas are kept in herds that graze on the level heights of the Andes of Ecuador, southern Peru, northern Bolivia, and northern Chile at an altitude of 3,500 m (11,000 ft) to 5,000 m (16,000 ft) above sea-level, throughout the year.

  • Sea Urchin Design by Susanna IC
    Sea Urchin Design by Susanna IC The Sea Urchin hat derives its name from the interesting starburst design formed at the top which is so reminiscent of the sea creature’s shell. This hat was designed specifically for Noro yarns; however, the overall zigzag pattern created by a simple stitch will make most of any self-striping yarn of similar weight. This easy to memorize and quick to knit one row chevron lace in combination with a dramatically colored yarn makes the Sea Urchin a perfect last minute project for giving or keeping. The lace pattern is stretchy and will accommodate a large range of adult sizes; however, it can also be easily scaled down for a child by using a lighter weight yarn with appropriate needles. Finished Size: 19” to 23” Yarn: Noro Kureyon, Silk Garden or Cashmere Island; the original was knitted with a little more than one skein of Silk Garden #252, approximately 20 yards were from a second skein (45% silk, 45% kid mohair, 10% lamb’s wool; 110 yards / 50 grams) Gauge: 10 sts / 12 rows = 1½” in 3x4 rib pattern knit circularly using smaller needles (not stretched) Needles: Size 5 / 3.75 mm and size 7 / 4.50 mm circular needles or sets of double pointed needles Notions: Stitch marker Ribbing With smaller needles cast on 105 stitches; place marker and join for knitting in the round, being careful not to twist stitches.

  • Slaughter and Killing of Minority Farmed Species
    Charity Registered in England & Wales No 1159690 Charitable Incorporated Organisation Technical Note No 25 Slaughter and Killing of Minority Farmed Species Summary The last twenty years or so have seen many big changes in British agriculture. The livestock sector in particular has had to change radically to adapt to new legislation, stricter production standards set by the customer and changes to the subsidy system. Some livestock farmers have diversified into the rearing of species not indigenous to the UK: these include the Asian water buffalo, North American bison, ostrich, camelids and species that lived here in ancient times, such as wild boar. As with domestic livestock, these animals are bred and reared for various reasons, the main ones being milk, meat and wool or fibre production. When slaughtering or killing these animals, it is highly likely that the slaughterman and/or veterinary surgeon will be presented with a number of challenges not normally experienced with domesticated livestock. It is essential that careful planning and preparation takes place before any attempt is made to slaughter or kill these animals. Humane Slaughter Association The Old School. Brewhouse Hill Wheathampstead. Herts AL4 8AN, UK t 01582 831919 f: 01582 831414 e: [email protected] w: www.hsa.org.uk Registered in England Charity No 1159690 Charitable Incorporated Organisation www.hsa.org.uk What are the minority farmed species in the UK? For the purposes of this leaflet, they are deer, ostrich, wild boar, water buffalo, bison and camelids (alpaca and llama). These all present meat hygiene and slaughter staff with new challenges due to physical and behavioural differences compared to traditional domestic livestock (cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and horses).
