Studies on shrinkage properties of eri silk/wool blended spun yarn and fabrics.

摘要

Six varieties of spun yarn viz 100% pure wool, 70:30 Wool: Red Eri, 50:50 Wool: Red Eri, 40:60 Wool: Red Eri 30:70 Wool: Red Eri and 100% Eri, blended spun yarn were produced in a spinning mill and the same yarn samples were used for producing fabric samples on power loom. Further the yarn and fabric samples were analysed for shrinkage properties following standard testing methods. Test results were compared with the blends of yarn and fabric. The results of the investigation are discussed. The out come indicates that blending composition of Eri silk with wool fibre has significant effects on the shrinkage properties of yarns and fabrics.
