The Complete Guide to Yarn Hairiness

 

Yarn hairiness refers to the fiber ends or loops that stick out of the main body of the yarn. Since the fibers located on the surface of the yarn are not closely connected with the main body of the yarn, when the yarn is subjected to friction and other external forces, the surface fibers can protrude and become hairy.
Yarn hairiness is necessary for certain varieties such as fleece warm fabrics. When the yarn hairiness is more and longer, the fabric can have good wool texture and warmth retention.
However, the existence of yarn hairiness will affect the smooth progress of subsequent processes, such as causing unclear opening of the warp during the weaving process, increasing end breaks, and reducing labor productivity. At the same time, it will also have a negative impact on the appearance, feel and use of the finished product. If the hairiness is unevenly distributed, defects such as rungs and stripes will appear on the fabric. Excessive hairiness will cause yarn entanglement during weaving to form weaving defects, making the fabric look rough.
The hairiness index of yarn has gradually become an equally important yarn characteristic index as count, strength and elongation.

Types of yarn hairiness

End of hairiness: fiber ends out of the yarn base surface of the subject , while the rest inside the core-yarn.
Planktonic Hairiness: stick to a surface or other loose fibers on the Hairiness of Yarns or wild fibers.
Loop Hairiness: within the core of both ends of the fiber into yarns, yarn showed middle basic surface, forming a ring or rings.

Yarn hairiness tester

Yarn Hairiness Tester is used for determining and analyzing yarn hairiness of various staple yarn like cotton, wool, linen, silk, chemical fiber and blended yarn, allows spinners to forecast how the yarn will behave in subsequent processes and how the finished fabric will look and perform.
The detection system adopts industrial high-speed digital camera, consists of industrial image sensor, optical imaging system and high-speed microcontroller. New technology as well as automatic adjustment of test parameters guarantee stable test condition and improve the consistency of test results.

Combing Process in Spinning

Image
Before processing cotton, wool, and silk fibers into fabrics, the process of removing impurities and short fibers in the fibers with a combing machine is called combing. The texture, washability and durability of the fabric produced through this process are greatly improved compared with carded fabrics. The following introduces the composition of the combing machine and the combing process. The kinematic coordination relationship of the main parts on the combing machine is indicated by a dial. The disc is mounted on the combing machine and rotates synchronously with the cylinder, which is generally called the indexing disc. The index plate is divided into 40 equal parts along the circumference, and each equal part is 9°, which becomes one index. The working cycle refers to the time interval between the combing cylinder of the intermittent combing machine corresponding to the two actions of combing the whiskers. That is: the first row of needles in the combing cylinder goes to the botto

Twist Test Methods and Influencing Factors

Image
  Twist test is an important part of yarn inspection. It is related to the strength, elongation, appearance, style, etc. of yarns and fabrics. Different yarns have different structural characteristics, and their twist testing methods are also different. Basic concept To understand twist testing, you must first understand what twisting is. Twisting is a necessary condition for yarn formation. Short fibers can be made into yarns with certain physical and mechanical properties through twisting; filaments often need to be twisted in order to increase the tightness between single filaments, facilitate processing, and improve fabric properties. Number of twists Twisting is to cause two cross-sections of parallel straight fiber slivers to rotate relative to each other. The number of relative rotations of the two cross-sections is called the number of twists. Twist Twist refers to the number of twists per unit length of yarn . Twist coefficient In actual production, the twist coefficient is of

Garment Dyeing-Special Dyeing Method In Textile

Image
Garment dyeing is a relatively special dyeing process for textiles and garments. Many people may not know much about this dyeing process. In the impression of most people, textile and clothing products are dyed in the fabric period, and garment dyeing is a dyeing process that breaks people’s cognitive limitations on textile dyeing. ​What is garment dyeing ​Garment dyeing means that dyeing the one not in the fabric type but in the garment type itself. The garment type mentioned above include socks, towels, sportswear, shirts, plush toys (without fillers), T-shirts, pants, bathrobes, handkerchiefs, bath mats, carpets, scarves, etc. The material of these garments can be wool, linen, silk and cotton of natural fibers. But most garments are made of cotton or a cotton-rich blends. Garment dyeing imparts vibrant colors to garments. The clothes such as denim garments, tops, sportswear and casual clothing with garment dyeing can provide a distinctive special effect. Garment dyeing method Garmen
