| Abstract: | The importance
of yarn structural variants such as spinning draft, twist factor, yarn
structure, and spindle speed in deciding the hand-related characteristics of
woven cotton fabrics has been investigated using FAST evaluation system. The
data indicate that the processing differences of each yarn type confer
different extensibility, bending rigidity and shear rigidity values, and the
differences in the yarn structure affect the fabric formability and other low
deformation characteristics. Effects obtained by changing twist factor and
spinning draft are found to be significant; however, by using an optimum
spinning draft and varying twist factor, one can successfully produce fabrics
with low rigidities and quite sufficient extensibility and formability. The
spindle speed does not seem to affect the coercive shear rigidity in either
ring- or compact-spun yarn fabrics. The handle response of fabrics woven with
compact-spun yarns is quite satisfactory in many respects. |
