Abstract

Nowadays, in order to improve some of the properties of core-spun yarns, a new type of core-spun yarn called as dual-core has been developed. In literature, there are limited studies and hence findings about dual-core yarns. Therefore, in this study, dual-core yarns were produced with three different sheath fibres (viscose, cotton and cotton/Tencel blended fibres) and two different core filament linear density (50 and 70 denier) having three different yarn counts (Ne 12/1, Ne 16/1 and Ne 20/1). Woven and knitted fabrics were manufactured and yarn quality parameters and some of the fabric properties such as fabric pilling behaviour, breaking and bursting strength, breaking elongation and bending rigidity were investigated. Therefore, it was possible to investigate the effect of sheath fibre type, yarn count and core filament linear density on yarn and fabric properties of dual-core yarns.
