    26. Dry Finishing of Wool Fabrics

    26. Dry Finishing of Wool Fabrics Mike Pailthorpe Learning objectives By the end of this lecture, you should be able to: • Describe the various methods that are available for the drying of wool fabrics. • Understand the need for conditioning wool fabrics after drying. • Outline the methods used in the brushing of wool fabrics. • Describe the process of shearing. • Outline the principles involved in the decatising of wool fabrics. • Explain the need for the steaming of wool fabrics. Key terms and concepts Drying, conditioning, raising, shearing, singeing, pressing, decatising, steaming, perching. Introduction The so called dry finishing processes for wool fabrics follow on after hydroextraction and scutching, beginning with drying. One of the objects in wool fabric finishing is to dry the fabric only once, thereby making substantial energy savings. Drying is the process of removing water from wool textiles via the application of heat energy. The three methods of transferring heat energy from one object to another are conduction, convection and radiation. However, for a variety of reasons, convection dryers are preferred for wool fabrics, with the stenter being the most widely used drying machine. After drying the wool fabrics must be conditioned to a regain of 14-16% before further processing. Depending upon the finish required, the wool fabrics may then either be shorn to remove surface fibres or brushed to create a pile of surface fibres. The brushed pile may be shorn to cut the pile fibres to a uniform height or to achieve a sculptured pattern. The wool fabrics are then pressed using either flat, rotary or belt presses to achieve the desired appearance, lustre and handle characteristics.

    Knitting Retreat

    Sugar Season Retreat Schedule and Class Descriptions FRIDAY EVENING (5:30-9:00): Gather at the Putney Cares Barn at 5:30 p.m. for a relaxed dinner featuring local produce. SATURDAY 9:00 am -12:00 pm Title: Introduction to Vertically Stranded Colorwork Description: Explore various ways that color can be added when contrasting stitches climb vertically from round to round. In this morning session we'll explore its sketchy history. Vertically stranded color work is used in Rovaniemi knitting, as a substitute for duplicate stitch in argyle, and it even appears in a Japanese stitch dictionary. We'll learn how to manage the strands and how to address the stitches so things operate smoothly for you. This is fun to do, and not difficult if only a couple rules are learned early. We'll play with simple zigs and zags, color between lace, and purl-only columns that look like caterpillars. These techniques do not inhibit the elasticity of the fabric. Most students will tackle three motifs during this session. Materials: Yarn will be provided. Handouts provided. To work in the round using worsted weight yarn and a circumference of about eight inches, bring whatever needles you are currently competent and comfortable using—DPN's, two circulars, or one 32" long circular for Magic Loop knitting. Choose one or two sizes smaller than you normally use with worsted weight wool—3.75 or 4mm/US 5 or 6, as we prefer snug stitches; blunt tipped tapestry needle. Homework: None. 12:00 pm – 3:00 pm Lunch at Putney Cares Barn, Tours of the Spinnery, visits to local artisans.

Jhatial2 e-mail: [email protected] 1 Department of Textile Engineering, Mehran University of Engineering and Technology, Jamshoro. 2 National Institute of Science and Technical Education, Islamabad. ABSTRACT: A table top singeing machine was designed for small scale singeing the cotton woven fabric. The machine was comprises of six tension rollers, a burner with adjustable flame angle and runs at the acceptable speed of 10- 30 m min-1. The rollers and burner were made from M.S pipe material. For singeing process trial, a grey fabric sample after manually pre-cleaning was wound on the let-off roller and threaded through the machine rollers up to take-up roller. The flame angle (45o) was adjusted according to the fabric condition (mild or sever singeing). Singeing process was carried out at the speed of 20 m min-1 by turning on the machine drive and the flame. The fabric was continuously released from the let-off roller, passed through the burner flame and wound onto the take-up roller. The singed fluff on the fabric surface was manually removed with brush after singeing. The machine can singe only one side of the fabric and suitable for laboratory scale singeing. Keywords: Singeing Machine, Burner, Flame Angle, Cotton Woven Fabric, Protruding Fibres. INTRODUCTION machine was designed and later manufactured in such a way Singeing is the process of removing protruding fibres from that all the objectives of singeing process could adequately the yarns and/or fabric surface hence improves the efficacy be achieved.

This series aims to further our understanding of the origins, dealings, decisions, and outcomes of social movements by fostering dialogue among many traditions of thought, across European nations and across continents. All theoretical perspectives are welcome. Books in the series typically combine theory with empirical research, dealing with various types of mobilization, from neighborhood groups to revolutions. We especially welcome work that synthesizes or compares different approaches to social movements, such as cultural and structural traditions, micro- and macro-social, economic and ideal, or qualitative and quantitative. Books in the series will be published in English. One goal is to encourage non- native speakers to introduce their work to Anglophone audiences. Another is to maximize accessibility: all books will be available in open access within a year after printed publication.

    Simple Loom Weaving Kit WE GATHER

    WE GATHER Simple Loom Weaving Kit WEGATHERGOODS.COM @WEGATHER YOU’RE A WEAVER NOW! You are about to take your place in a long, ancient history of one of the earliest textile techniques ever used by humans. Welcome! Weaving has been part of our human experience for at least 30,000 years and is one of the most important and widespread methods of making cloth, baskets, and other functional and fabulous objects. This Simple Loom Weaving Kit employs many of the same tools and techniques that people have been using for thousands of years. It’s up to you to make them yours! At its most basic, weaving is the interlacing of two sets of perpendicular yarns or linear elements. Woven textiles are generally stable and not very stretchy. They can be thick and rugged, light and delicate, and everything in between. There are countless dierent approaches to weaving, it’s rules and traditions, and some of those are shared in this booklet. Follow those that speak to you and make your own rules where necessary. As you learn and practice, you will find what works best for you. Here are a few suggestions to get you started: •Loom maintenance - Your loom and tools are lovingly cut from birch plywood, which sometimes has the propensity for splintering. If you find this happening, use a fine grit sandpaper to smooth those areas. •Even tension - Weaving is built upon tension. Try to keep this as even as possible, but remember that your goal is function, not perfection. •No knots - You almost never use an actual knot in weaving.
