Application of Nu-Torque singles ring yarns on woven fabrics

摘要

The application of Nu-Torque singles ring yarns on woven fabrics to improve surface appearance of denim fabric and fabric dimensional stability after laundering Woven fabrics supply most of the market for cotton goods in the world. Although fabric dimensional instability and distortion after laundering are perceived by consumers as less a problem in cotton woven fabrics than in cotton knits, these problems still degrade the quality of products. Some observable consequences of laundering cotton woven fabrics are fabric surface unevenness, fabric dimensional instability and skew-ness. These quality problems all reflect many parameters including fibre type, yarn structure, fabric construction and finishing processes the fabric undergoes. Yarn residual torque is believed to be one of the factors contributing to the surface unevenness of fabric, fabric dimensional instability and distortion after laundering.
