Properties of indigenous angora rabbit hair and cotton blended yarns spun using short- staple cotton spinning system

摘要

The possibilities of producing cotton and indigenous angora rabbit hair blended yarns by adopting commercial cotton spinning system working on economical production speeds have been explored. It is observed that as the proportion of hair fibre in the blend increases, the yarn properties of both the single and double yarns deteriorate, mainly due to the lower fibre strength and inter-fibre cohesion of hair fibres.
