Theoretical and Practical Analysis of Fiber Blend Model in Gray Spun Yarn

摘要

The final color of blend yarns is dependent on the proportion of the various colored fibers used in colored spun yarns. How to scientifically and effectively quantify the relationship between the proportion of different colored fibers and the color of the yarn is a major problem hindering the development of color spinning technology. This paper suggests three methods for analyzing and comparing the color of gray spun yarns. A color match software, Datacolor Match, was used to calculate a recipe simulating the match of dyes; the a predicting formula based on color mixing model of Kubelka-Munk (K-M) double-constant theory for fiber blends was established. Finally, the colored fiber formula based on the known reflectance curve was calculated according to the relationship between the reflectance value of gray spun yarn and proportion of colored fiber present. This work provides an understanding of colored spun yarn fabrication.
