Study Notes
Classification of Yarns by Process
- Yarns are categorized based on processes involved in their production, including Cotton, Wool, Stretch, Compound, Core-sheath, and Novelty yarns.
Types of Yarns
- Types include simple yarns (single, multiple, plied/folded, cable) and stretch yarns, with considerations for spun or filament yarn.
Simple Yarns
- Single Yarn: Consists of one strand without twisting.
- Multiple Wound Yarn: Two or more single yarns twisted together.
- Folded or Plied Yarn: Made by twisting two or more folded yarns.
- Cord/Cables: Composed of multiple wound yarns, typically used in ropes and cables.
Fabric Weaving Applications
- Multiple wound yarns serve as weft yarn in special weaves like the Oxford weave, utilizing double yarns with no twisting.
Ply Fabrics
- Single-Ply Fabric: Made directly from spun yarn.
- Two-Ply Yarn: Contains two twisted strands, enhancing quality such as drape and softness.
- Two-Ply 2×2 Fabric: Both warp and weft are two-ply.
- Two-Ply 2×1 Fabric: Only one yarn (warp or weft) is two-ply.
Advantages of Folded/Ply Yarn
- Produces softer fabrics with a silkier feel, lower bending rigidity, better draping, and reduced wrinkling in formal shirting.
- Strengthens sewing threads by reinforcing weak spots.
Novelty or Fancy Yarns
- Novelty yarns are defined by a base yarn, an effect strand, and a binder yarn.
- Slub Yarn: Features intentionally thicker sections for a natural appearance.
- Textured Yarns: Include Stretch and Bulk Yarns, modified for various textures and characteristics.
Texturization Process
- It involves heating untextured yarns to create patterns like crimp, curl, or loop, enhancing bulk and stretch.
- Originally developed for synthetic fibers to reduce gloss, increase warmth, and improve absorbency.
Stretch Yarns
- Comprised primarily of heat-set thermoplastic and elastomeric types.
- Heat-Set Thermoplastic: Achieves 300-500% elongation, suitable for form-fitting garments like swimsuits.
- Elastomeric Stretch Yarns: Created using materials like Lycra or spandex, not via texturization but through methods like core spinning.
Bulk Yarns
- Created using methods such as gear crimping and air jet processing to increase bulk by 100-300% with minimal stretch.
- Commonly used in carpets and lightweight, warm sweater fabrics.
Compound or Core-Sheath Yarns
- Consist of a core-wrapped structure combining different fiber strands for unique characteristics.
- Types include covered-spun and core-spun yarns, produced via various spinning systems like ring spinning or air-jet spinning.
