Abstract

A model for the computer simulation of the processing of scoured wool through to singles yarn via the semi-worsted system is described on the basis of published empirical and theoretical literature. The model accounts for changes in the properties of scoured wool and processing variables over a range of values common in the commercial semi-worsted processing of New Zealand wools. The production and yarn parameters that are predicted include yarn irregularity, breaking load, and bulk; ends down in spinning; fibre loss as card waste; and card-mixing capacity.
