Abstract
Cordura fiber, which has high performance against tearing and abrasion, can be used to improve the tear strength and abrasion resistance of low-weight wool/lycra fabrics that can be suitable for daily wear. Thin wool fabric is very comfortable to wear, but lighter fabrics are more prone to appearance problems, since they are less able to resist the forces responsible for the distortions. This study aims to investigate the effect of cordura fiber integration on the yarn quality properties of wool and wool/Lycra yarn. Cordura fiber was integrated into wool and wool/Lycra yarn structure with different fiber percentages and were tested according to related the standard methods to evaluate yarn quality properties such as breaking force, breaking length (RKM), elongation at break, unevenness (CV%), yarn imperfection (thick, thin places and neps) and hairiness.
