Study of Twist in spinning | Twist in yarn | Introduction of twist in yarn Definition of twist: The term “twist” defines the helicoidal or spiral configuration organized by the rotation of a yarn or of a bundle of fibers around their longitudinal axis. Or, Twist is the measurement of spiral turns given to […]
Drawing, Texturing, Intermingling and Heat setting Process
Man Made Fibre and Man Made Fibre Production - Manufactured (MF) fibers (formerly termed “man-made”) are formed from a suitable raw material as a thick, sticky liquid, which is “spun” or extruded through spinneret holes, forming streams that are solidified into fibers.
Woven fabric Structure
The order of interlacement of warp and weft threads at right angles is known as structure of woven fabrics. The interlooping system of yarns is known as structure for knit fabrics. Classification of woven fabric structure: Simple structure and Compound Structure.Methods of fabric representation:❶Warp overlap in which warp is above weft and ❷Weft overlap in which weft is above warp

Spinning Carding Machine : Chute Feed System
The system of feeding small tufts of cotton fibers directly from blow room to the card is called the chute feed system.
Card is arranged in series circuit through pneumatic pipe.
Carding Definition
Carding Definition : Carding Definition: Carding is a mechanical process that disentangles, cleans and intermixes fibers to produce a continuous web or sliver suitable for subsequent processing. Two proverbs of the experts- “Carding is the heart of spinning” and “well carded is half spun” demonstrate the immense significance of carding in the spinning process. CARDING […]
Broken and Rearranged Twill
Broken twill is formed by breaking the twill line of basic twill. Normally straight draft is used to produce this weave. Rearranged twill is produced by the rearrangement or transposition of the original order of the threads in the regular basic twill.
Relation Between Yarn Count and Diameter & count calculation for ply yarn
Normally, when two single yarns are twisted together one should expect some contraction or some increase in length depending on the twisting direction. A contraction will result in a yarn slightly coarser than the estimated value. In order to correct for this difference, typically 5% to 10% contraction or extension should be accounted for.
Derivatives of Plain Weave
There are two types of derivatives : Rib and Matt. In rib weave, it produces rib or cord effect in warp/weft direction. Used as grosgrain cloth, mattress cloth,hair cords, blankets etc. Matt is constructed by extending the plain weave both vertically and horizontally. Matt weave finds extensive uses for a great variety of fabrics such as dress materials, shirtings, sail cloth, duck cloth etc.
