Investigation of Manufacturing and Processing Techniques on Shade Variation and Performance Characteristics of Woven Fabrics

摘要

The purpose of this research is to examine the properties of vortex and ring spun yarns and their influence on the properties of woven fabrics. Cotton/PET fibers with the same blend ratio were used to produce vortex and ring spun yarns of 24.6 tex. These yarns were woven into a fabric with a satin weave construction. Heat setting was done to control the dimensional shrinkage and its effect on results was investigated. The woven fabric was dyed using exhaust and continuous dyeing methods. The vortex yarn fabric yields superior shade depth, pilling and fastness properties in comparison to the ring yarn fabric.
