Introduction India is one of the world’s leaders in textiles, with its fashion industry accounting for over 15% of the world’s total clothing exports. The textile industry has witnessed a lot of change in the last decade. India’s textile industry has evolved significantly, both in terms of technology and how business is done. This evolution[…]
Sewing thread is a basic raw material for giving desired shape to a garment and holding the body parts together by creating seams. It is a very important item for tailoring shops, industrial garment manufacturers and fashion houses. It has both functional and aesthetic properties. When we are using it for making seams then it[…]
Waste is a very common term, and we create different types of wastes in our daily life. But have you ever heard about textile or clothing waste? If not, then you must go through this article. Or if yes then you should be clarified about the term and its type. Waste is a kind of[…]
The simple term “wool”, according to government standards, must always mean new wool that has not been made up in any form of wool product. New wool comes directly from a fleece. It has never been previously spun, woven, felted, or worn. The term “virgin wool” is now used by the textile industry to designate[…]
A yarn is a continuous and uniform mass of fibres bonded together by the insertion of a twist. Yarns are the raw material of the fabric. The thickness of the yarn varies to a wide range. Normally, the thickness of yarn is expressed in terms of count. The count may be defined as the number which[…]
Now a day rotor spindles occupy at least 6% of the world’s total installation. However, this may seem like a small percentage, but this figure is significant when taken in yarn production, as a large percentage of yarn spun on this system is in the coarser to medium count range. Open-end rotor spinning has become an inseparable[…]
Since rotor spinning established its superiority over conventional spinning, blended and manufactured yarns have attracted spinners. One of the essential requirements of blended yarn is the degree of homogeneity in blending their components throughout the length of yarns spun and the uniform distribution of the individual fibre component in the cross-section. In this spinning, the[…]
Fibres are spun into yarn, and yarns are woven or knitted into fabrics, and fabrics are then transformed into clothing products. There are three popular techniques of yarn manufacturing like ring spinning, rotor or open-end spinning and air-jet spinning. Among them, ring spinning is the oldest and till now used to make a wide range[…]
Introduction Polyester are polymers made by a condensation reaction taking place between small molecules, in which the linkage of the molecules occurs through the formation of ester groups. Polyesters are commonly made by interaction of a dibasic acid with a dihydric alcohol: HOOC-X-COOH + HO-Y-OH → …OC-X-COO-Y-OCO-X-COO-Y-OCO… The formation of polyester was studied by Wallace H. Carothers[…]
Mixing Mixing could be thought of combining of fibres together in somewhat haphazard proportion whose physical properties are partially known so that, the resultant mixture has only generally known average physical properties which are not easily reproducible. Blending Blending is based on the measurement of important fibre properties i.e, length, strength, cleanliness, e.t.c. Quantitatively proportioning[…]
