Comparative Analysis of Hybrid Yarns Produced by Different Core Preparing Methods Using Various Filaments and its Influence on Fabric

Abstract

Stretchable yarns (double core) fulfill consumer requirements for comfortable clothing with a flexible structure. The study focuses on utilizing various methods and filaments in yarn production and their effect on fabric characteristics. The experimental study includes the manufacturing of Ne 18/1 yarn (dual core) by three different methods: Invista® method, Texturing/Intermingling method, and Elasto twist method (Hamel twist and cover method) for ‘Z’ and ‘S’ twist direction using various filaments and properties of the developed yarns are measured using standard methods. Additionally, 3/1 ‘Z’ twill denim fabric was manufactured using this manufactured yarn, and fabric properties were evaluated. The impact of production method and filament type on these developed yarns and fabrics properties is analyzed using Two-way ANOVA and it is concluded that the filament type and production technique have a meaningful impact on yarns and fabrics properties. This comparative analysis provides valuable information and highlights the significance of filament type and production method in achieving desired properties.
