Purpose – Solospun technology is one of the most important new spinning methods, which is implemented by dividing Ring spinning triangle into several small primary triangles and one final triangle by a Solospun roller. That is, there are two parts of spinning triangle in the Solospun technology, including primary triangles part and final triangle part. In the general case, the primary triangles are much smaller than final triangle. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to present theoretical study of Solospun yarn torqueby linking the fiber tension in the spinning triangle to yarn torque under the assumption that the primary triangles and the primary twist are ignored. Design/methodology/approach – The theoretical model of the residual torque within Solospun yarn due to the fiber tension was given. Then, as an application of the proposed method, 14.6 tex cotton yarns were taken as an example for the numerical simulations. The fiber tension in the Solospun spinning triangles and corresponding yarn torque were simulated numerically by using Matlab software. The relationships between yarn torque and spinning triangle parameters are analyzed according to the simulation results. Furthermore, the properties of spun yarns produced by the Solospun and Ring spinning system are evaluated and analyzed by using the simulation results. Findings – It is shown that comparing with the Ring spun yarn, Solospun yarn torque is a little larger. Meanwhile, with an increase of substrand number, the fluctuation of curve of average fiber tension in Solospun system is increased firstly, and then decreased, i.e. showing parabola shape, potentially leading to corresponding change of yarn torque. Originality/value – In this paper, theoretical study of Solospun yarn torque is presented by linking the fiber tension in the spinning triangle to yarn torque under the assumption that the primary triangles and the primary twist are ignored. The theoretical model of the residual torque within Solospun yarn due to the fiber tension was given.

The spinning triangle is a critical area in the ring-spinning process; the geometry of the spinning triangle influences the distribution of the fiber tension, and affects the qualities of the spun yarn. In this paper, a kind of dynamic twist-resistant device that can affect the geometry of the spinning triangle is employed for improving the conventional ring-spinning system.  The yarn twists between the front roller nip and dynamic twist-resistant device were captured in the spinning process using a high-speed camera. Comparing yarn twists of the two types of yarn, the modified yarns have a lower twist angle, indicating that the device can produce resistant torque. Particle Flow Code software was used to simulate the acts of the device on the yarn, and the results verified the existence of resistant torque. The resistant torque on the yarn affects the geometry of the spinning triangle and the distribution of fiber tension. In addition, 19.4 and 14.5 tex cotton yarns with three different twists, 700, 800 and 900 tpm, were produced by the modified and conventional ring spinning. The comparative study revealed that the modified yarns have a better performance in terms of yarn strength and hairiness, and show no significant difference in terms of the yarn evenness when compared with the conventional yarns at the same twist level. The mechanism of the effect of the dynamic twist-resistant device on yarn qualities is discussed by analyzing the distribution of fiber tension.

Spinning triangle is a critical region in the spinning process of yarn. Its geometry influences the distribution of fiber tension in the spinning triangle and the properties of spun yarns, such as the yarn breakage and hairiness. In this paper, the relationships between the spinning angle and yarn properties especially the yarn hairiness were investigated under various horizontal offsets. The properties of spun yarns produced by the modified system were evaluated and analyzed. Both left diagonal and right diagonal yarn arrangements were examined. The results indicate that the right diagonal yarn path leads to reduce yarn hairiness but the left diagonal yarn path leads to increase yarn hairiness; the breaking force of yarn changes little; yarn evenness deteriorates slightly with the changes of offset.

Purpose This paper presented a new kind of ring spinning frame with four pairs of rollers, and they are the front roller and the front top roller, the first middle roller (FMR) and the first middle top roller (FMTR), the second middle roller and the second middle top roller, the back roller and the back top roller. The FMR is the front roller of middle draft zone, and the back roller of the front draft zone. Therefore, the deformation of FMTR during spinning is an important factor for yarn quality, which was studied in this paper. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, by finite element method (FEM), the pressure and deformation of FMTR were studied. FMTR made from steel and sleeved carbon fiber were compared. 5.8tex, 4.9tex and 3.9tex cotton yarns were spun, and corresponding numerical simulations of FMTR pressure and deformation were presented in ANSYS software and comparatively analyzed. Then, corresponding yarn qualities were compared. Findings The results indicate that pressure and deformation of FMTR have little effects on yarn tenacity and hairiness, while have great effects on yarn evenness. For 5.8tex and 4.9tex cotton yarn, yarns spun by FMTR made from sleeved carbon fiber have larger pressure and deformation at the middle of nipper bites of FMR and FMTR, and yarn evenness is better. For 3.9tex cotton yarns, at the middle of nipper bites of FMR and FMTR, FMTR made from steel has smaller pressure. But deformation of FMTR made from steel is larger, and yarn evenness is better. Originality/value This paper studied pressure and deformation of FMTR by finite element method (FEM), which serve as a theoretical underpinning for yarn spinning in three draft zones ring spinning machine.

Purpose As a natural fiber, yakwool has attracted much attention in textile processing due to its excellent properties and wearabilities. However, the main colors of yakwool are black and brown. Therefore, for extending the application scopes of the fiber, the decolorization of the yakwool fiber is usually needed, especially for the black fiber. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach In the paper, the properties of the yakwool fiber were tested first, especially the melanin granules in the fiber. Then, the decolorization of the yakwool fiber was studied using the oxidation–reduction decolorization method, and corresponding optimal process of the decolorization was given. Then, the properties of the decolorized yakwool fiber were tested and compared with those of the original fiber. Findings It is shown that, after decolorization, the physical and mechanical properties of the fiber were deteriorated, especially in terms of the strength and elongation. Therefore, the fiber became shorter and thinner, and the scales were damaged. When compared with the yarn spun from the original yakwool fiber, it was observed that the properties of the yarn spun from the decolorized yakwool fiber deteriorated because of the deterioration in the properties of the original fiber. Originality/value In the paper, for extending the application scopes of the yakwool fiber, the decolorization of the yakwool fiber was studied.

The spinning triangle is a critical region in the spinning process of staple yarn. Its geometry influences the distribution of fiber tension at spinning triangle directly and affects the qualities of spun yarns. Taking appropriate measures to change the ring spinning triangle geometry and improve the qualities of yarn has attracted more and more interest recently. Spinning triangle division is one of the most effective measures, such as solospun technology. Therefore, in this paper, the effect of ring spinning triangle division on fiber tension distribution was studied theoretically. The general case that the spinning triangle is divided into two parts, primary triangle and final triangle, was investigated. Firstly, theoretical models of the fiber tension distributions in the final and primary spinning triangles are given respectively using the principle of minimum potential energy. Secondly, the fiber tension distributions in the spinning triangle with different shape parameters are numerically simulated. Finally, the possible effects of ring spinning triangle division on yarn qualities are analyzed according to the numerical simulations and previous results. In addition, the properties of spun yarns produced by the modified ring spinning system were evaluated and analyzed.

The aim of the present work is to optimize the drafting parameters for ring spinning by using full factorial (23) experimental design. Three drafting parameters of ring spinning each at two levels were chosen for this study. These technological parameters were break draft, size of pin spacer and hardness of rubber cots. It was found from statistical analysis that pin spacer size has a significant effect on yarn unevenness (U %), imperfection index (IPI), hairiness (H) and yarn strength (CLSP) compared to the other two chosen factors. These yarn quality parameters were improved by increasing the spacer size. The increase in spacer size reduces the cohesive forces among the fibers during drafting. The pin between the cradle and the top front roller transfer the individual fibers from the drafted fiber assembly to the spinning triangle without any stretching or accumulation. This yields a more integrated structure and the quality of yarn is improved.

Purpose Air permeability of knitted fabrics is normally measured for the samples in their unstretched state. But, this air permeability values indicate the ability of these garments to allow air through them when they are not in use. But, the real-time condition is different and certainly the knitted garments mentioned above will subject to a degree of stretch during their usage. So, the measurement of air permeability under stretch and the fabric properties which would influence the air permeability of weft-knitted fabrics in their stretched state is of paramount importance. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach The aim of this research work is to investigate the change in air permeability values under the incremental extension of cotton tubular weft-knitted fabrics produced from the yarns of different spinning systems. Findings From the results, it is evident that the pique fabric samples of compact spun yarn displayed the highest air permeability values during the incremental stretch at all the three relaxation states. It is followed by the pique samples of ring spun yarn. Next to pique samples, the jersey samples made from the compact yarn and ring spun yarn revealed more air permeability, respectively. The core spun pique samples and core spun jersey samples displayed the least air permeability values, respectively. But, the pique and jersey samples made up of ring yarn and compact yarn showed gradual reduction in their air permeability towards the incremental stretch and the core spun pique samples and core spun jersey samples were uniformly seen with gradual increase in their air permeability during the incremental stretch. Originality/value Very limited quantity of research has been carried out in this area. So, a novel attempt has been made in this research work to investigate the influence of incremental stretch on air permeability of single knit structures.

The textile and its allied industries have had its research focus on ways of alleviating the risks and losses posed by uncontrolled fires. Textiles have been chemically modified to impart flame/fire retardancy (FR) properties and also studies have been done on inherently FR fibers. This research focuses on Polysulfonamide (PSA) fiber, an inherently FR fiber developed by Shanghai Textile Research Institute and Shanghai Synthetic Fiber Research Institute. The purpose of this research is to study ways of incorporating PSA into yarns that will utilize the benefits of the PSA fiber while compensating for its limitations. The 100% PSA yarn and five different percentage variations of PSA/cotton blended yarns were produced by ring spinning. The blending methods were intimate blending and core spinning, with cotton yarns being used as core and PSA fibers as sheath. The tensile, evenness, hairiness and FR properties of these yarns together with the blending methods were studied and compared. The results showed that the blended yarn yielded better tensile and hairiness properties whereas the core spun yarn had better evenness and flame retardancy properties.
