Comparative Study on the Properties of Vortex and Ring Spun Yarn and the Properties of Woven Fabrics Containing Those Yarns in Weft

Abstract

The purpose of the research was to examine the properties of vortex and ring spun yarns and their influence on the properties of woven fabrics when used as weft. Two different mixtures of fibres (Cotton/PET; Cotton/PA6.6) in different portions and pure cellulose vis cose (CV) fibres from the same input material were used to produce vortex and ring spun yarn of 16 & 67 tex. The properties of the measured yarns evaluated showed that ring spun yarns were, depending on the blend used, superior in the breaking force up to 30% and in the elongation at break up to 20%. The same occurred with the properties of woven fabrics in the weft direction, only that the difference was significantly smaller – up to 15% breaking force and up to 5% elongation at break. At the same time the abrasion properties of woven fabrics containing vortex yarns in the weft were significantly better than those of full ring spun yarn fabrics.
