| Abstract: | A study on the effects of various yarn and machine parameters on spirality
of cotton tubular plain fabrics has been conducted and the results are
statistically analyzed. The observations are taken both in finished as well as
in reference states. The study reveals that relaxation process through washing
and tumble drying causes the spirality of wale lines to develop. The extent of
spirality is decided by the ease of freedom with which the unbalanced torque
due to yarn twist gets relaxed. Tightness of fabric which is decided by yarn
count and stitch length in addition to machine gauge controls the distortion of
loops, resulting in increasing the spirality with the enlargement of stitch
length, lowering the machine gauge and/or raising the yarn fineness. |
