STUDY ON HIGH TWIST YARN AND ITS WOVEN FABRIC PROPERTIES

Textile Technology

Yarn structure influences the configuration of the constituent fibers in the yarn and the comfort properties of the fabrics to a great extent. The fiber arrangement in the yarn has a major influence on the comfort-related properties such as thermal conductivity, air permeability, wickability, and moisture vapor permeability. The amount of twist plays vital role for finished consumers' good which determines appearance, durability and serviceability of fabric. This project aims to study on high twist yarn and its its influence on fabric comfort and behavior and to find its suitable application in kurtis . In this study, yarn samples of VSF compact spun yarn of different counts and different twists are sourced. Plain weaved fabric is produced with the desired warp and weft yarns and the parameters are studied by subjecting both the samples of yarn and fabric into a series of testing like Evenness, Hairiness, Strength in Yarn stage and Stiffness, Flexural rigidity, Bursting strength in Fabric stage. These tests help us to understand and study the properties of yarn and fabric (Mechanical and Low stress mechanical properties) and to analyze the effect of yarn linear density and TPI on fabric properties.
