  • 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).

Ben Ameur2 1Textile Engineering Laboratory, University of Monastir, Monastir, Tunisia 2Technical Center of Creation, Innovation, and Supervision in Carpet and Weaving, Tunis, Tunisia Abstract This experiment was aimed to identify wool quality of Tunisian sheep breeds. Fiber characteristics of different ages and various sheep breeds were studied. A total of 84 sheep were used in this study. Results show that the factor 'breed' had a highly significant effect on all controlled parameters accept scoured yield and fibre length. Breed was the most important factor. By conducting well-planned sorting, “Fine Queue of west” sheep breed can supply the wool needed for textile industries. The wool of other sheep breeds can be used in handmade carpets.
