Preparation of yarn for weaving



Fiber strength fiber strength is very often the dominating characteristics. The minimum strength for a textile fiber is approximately 6 Ne /Tex. In relation to cotton, the strength of fiber is measured and state is the pressure index. The fiber fineness in one of the three most important characteristics. The fineness determines how many fibers are present in the cross section of a yarn of give thickness. The unit of fiber fineness is mic. Different parameter are depend for fiber fineness spinning limit, drape of the fabric product, yarn strength, luster, yarn evenness, yarn handle, yarn fullness, productivity of the process. A yarn produced from fiber that have been carded but not combed. Carding is a process, which eliminate fiber too short for inclusion in the spun yarn. The process also removes dirt and foreign matter still remaining in the fiber mass and arrangement the fiber into a very dame layers.
Two types of yarn are required for weaving
1.       Warp yarn
2.       Weft yarn
Preparation of warp yarn for weaving
The warp yarn must be sufficiently and uniformly strong to stands the stress and friction of weaving without excessive and breakage. The warp yarn must be uniform clean and less hairy and form less kinds as possible. Knots should be standard type and size so that yarn can easily through the healds and reed of the loom. Each warp must be equal length. If must be fee from neps and loose fibers.
Process sequence for weaving

        Weft yarn preparation>>Cone from spinning section
Reason of yarn preparation
v   To transfer yarn from spinning bobbin to a convenient package this will facilitate weaving.
v   To remove yarn faults.
v   To improve weaving efficiency.
v   To improve or maintain higher quality of fabric
Different types of package
Parallel wound package
this package comprises many yarns laid parallel to one another as in a warp beams. It is necessary to have flanged.
Near parallel package
this package comprises one or more yarns which are laid very nearly parallel to the layers existing on the package.
Cross wound package
this type usually consists a single yarn which is laid on the package at an appreciable helix angle. so that the layers cross on another and give stability.

macro-structure of cotton fiber | Under a microscope cotton

Under a microscope a cotton fiber appears as a very fine, regular fiber, looking like a twisted ribbon or a collapsed and twisted tube. These twists are called convolutions there are about sixty convolutions per centimeter. The convolutions give cotton an uneven fiber surface, which increases inter-fiber friction and enables fine cotton, yearns of squatted strength to be spun. The appearance of the cotton fiber’s cross sections is referred as being kidney-shaped. The micro structure of cotton The cotton fiber is a single plant cell. Its cross-section is oval, compared with the normal hexagonal plant cell. Cotton has a district cuticle, well developed primary and secondary walls and a lumen. Layer 1 the cuticle is a waxy protective layer that provides water resistance to the fibers as they are growing. This lawyer is removed by scouring during processing before spinning.

Importance of twisted structure of textile fiber

Trelor in his Mather lecture, titled “Twisted Structures” adequately recognizes the role of twist in yarns and the part it plays in the design of textile structures .He discusses the obvious necessity of twist in the natural and staple fibers by pointing out “ Twist is essential to provide a certain minimum coherence between fibers, without a yarn having a significant tensile strength cannot be made. This coherence is dependent on the frictional forces brought into play by the lateral pressures between fibers arising from the application of a tensile stress along the yarn axis. With the introduction of continuous filament yarns, however, the role of twist must be reconsidered. In continuous filament yarns, twist is not necessary for the attainment of tensile strength (in fact, it reduces it) but it is necessary for the achievement of satisfactory resistance to abrasion, fatigue, or other types of damage associated with stresses other than a simple tensile stress, and typified ...

Types of Yarn twist | different types of yarn twist | S twist | Z twist

Types of Yarn twist different types of yarn twist S twist Z twist“S” TWIST: A single yarn has “S” twist if when it is held in the vertical direction , the fibers inclined to the conform in direction of slope of the contact portion of the letter “S”. axis of the yarn “Z” TWIST. A single has “Z” twist if when it is held in the vertical direction, the fibers inclined to the yarn axis conform in the direction of the slope to the central portion of the letter “Z”. DIRECTION OF TWIST: In the designation of yarns, it is essential to specify the direction of twist. Besides its importance in simplifying the trade, it is of great technical importance in designing fabrics. For example, in a twill fabric, the direction of twist in the yarn is of particular importance in determining the predominance of twill effect. For a   right-handed twill, the best contrasting effect will be obtained when a yarn with Z twist is used; on the other-hand a left-handed twist will produce a fabric ha...
