Comparison of the Properties of Akund/Cotton Blended Yarn Produced by Compact Spinning with Pure Cotton Yarn

Abstract:

As a kind of environment-friendly fiber, akund will create considerable interest in the apparel industry due to its fine luster, good moisture absorption, renewable and pollution free feature. This research is a comparative study of the physical properties of akund/cotton material and pure cotton material. Results show that the enhanced structure of akund/cotton compact yarn typically results in a lower hairiness and improved mechanical properties. However, the weaving of this kind akund/cotton blended yarn may meet a lot difficulty since its tenacity value hardly meet the minimum value calls for weaving. Another important guidance is that it necessary to reduce short fiber content that may be present in the yarn structure to adopt best evenness.
