Studies on properties of fabrics developed using blend silk yarns using man-made filamentatural fibres, yarns as the core : Part II

摘要

Different types of fabrics were developed in plain and jacquard weaves using silk x silk warp and blend silk yarns in the core as weft. Blend silk yarns were produced during raw silk reeling process using Polyester, Viscose, Nylon and Cotton yarns. Further, plain and jacquard fabrics were also developed using same silk x silk warp and Silk x Silk yarns equivalent in denier to each of the blend yarns as a weft for comparison. Both types of fabrics were tested for various characteristics and the data generated was statistically analysed.rnQuality characteristics of fabrics produced from cover silk yarns indicate that these fabrics can be utilized for the manufacture of innerwear, dress materials and furnishings with distinct characteristics. Study indicate that fabrics produced using blend silk have good potential for exports owing to its economics, aesthetic appeal, and improved functional properties.
