Study on Processing of Cotton / Akund Fibers Blended Yarn

Abstract:

Basic properties of akund fibers are introduced briefly. Cotton and akund fibers are spun into 18.45tex, 40/60 and 18.45tex, 33/67 cotton/akund blended yarns. The influence of carding processing length is studied. When the carding processing length is longer than the main length of akund fiber, the carded sliver has the lowest short fiber and neps content. This result is proved by a series of experimental tests, such as yarn tensile strength, yarn hairiness and irregularity. The results of both yarns are compared and analyzed. The overall qualities of cotton and akund /cotton blended yarn can meet the basic requirments of aparrel and home textile
