Preparation and Characterisation of High Count Yak Wool Yarns Spun by Complete Compacting Spinning and Fabrics Knitted from them
Journal Title: Fibres and Textiles in Eastern Europe - Year 2016, Vol 24, Issue 1
Abstract
The attentions of the textile industry has been attracted by yak wool due to its excellent properties, environmental friendly characteristics and inexpensive prices. However, the processing of yak wool is difficult due to the larger fiber dispersion and stiffness, especially spun pure and high count yak wool yarn. Therefore, in this paper, a kind of roller-type compact spinning - complete compacting spinning (CCS) was applied to spun pure high count yak wool yarns, in which a special hollow roller made of stainless steel with a strip groove structure on its surface was employed. Based on the mechanism of CCS, the processing parameters for two kinds of yak wool yarns - 20.83 tex and 16.67 tex were set. Then the qualities of the yarns prepared were tested and compared with yak wool yarns spun by common ring spinning. Finally corresponding knitted fabrics were further produced and tested for wearability.
