Exploratory Study on the Properties of Compact Three-Roving Yarn: Comparison The Properties of Compact Spun, Compact Siro-Spun and Compact Three-Roving Yarns

Abstract

This study presents the novel compact three-roving technology which developed on the working principle of siro-spun and compact spinning technologies. In the study, auxiliary parts of siro-spun and pneumatic compact spinning are newly designed for the production of compact three-roving yarns. The properties of new compact three-roving yarns were compared with compact spun and compact siro-spun yarns that produced at the same yarn count and at the same twist level from natural, synthetic and regenerated fibers. Besides, three-types of yarns were also used in the weft direction for the production of the woven fabric. Comparing yarn and fabric properties showed that, compact three-roving yarns have similar results to commercially used yarns in general. In addition, it should also be noted that three-roving yarn can be also used for specific purposes owing to its composite structure.
