Union Yarn and Union Fabric - abstract

Daffodil International University Journal of Science and Technology, 1970

A study was performed on the jutecotton union fabric to show the effect of sizing on the properties of union fabric. Here, the cotton yarn was used in the warp direction and jute yarn was used in the weft direction. The size material was used only for warp yarn that is for cotton yarn. From the experimental results, it was seen that the strength of the sized union fabric was better than the unsized union fabric although the other properties were similar to each other. Comparing the properties of union fabric with 100% cotton fabric, union fabric (jute-cotton) may be the replacement of 100% same category of cotton fabric.

Errandi silk has a potential of emerging as “A silk of the new millennium”. The experimental finding provides information on physical properties as well as subjective evaluations of Errandi silk -Acrylic union fabrics with twill and herringbone weave. The count and diameter of errandi silk fibre were higher than acrylic fibre and in case of woven fabrics, herringbone weave were found to have maximum value in cloth covers, weight and thickness. A comparative subjective evaluation was done based on fabric quality by the panel of 100 respondents. 100 per cent respondent opined that all the woven samples have good appearance, soft in hand and smooth in texture. It was observed that cent percent of respondents found errandi-acrylic blended union fabrics with twill and herringbone weaves were high in lustre. The costs of blended yarns and the cost of union fabrics of different proportion were got reduced in comparison to that of 100 per cent errandi-silk yarn (Rs.3000.00/kg) and cont...

Union fabrics are those, where fabric are created with warp of one kind of yarn and weft of another yarn. Union fabric can also be produced by using blended yarn in one direction or both warp and weft direction of different blended yarn. In the present work an attempt was made to construct Eri union fabric, the Eri yarn used as warp with Acrylic and Viscose Rayon yarn as weft. In the study the fabrics were prepared with twill weave and were tested for mechanical and functional properties. Moreover, based on fabric texture, handle and the combinations, the products were prepared from the woven fabric and preference was taken from the respondents. The newly designed Eri x Acrylic and Eri x Viscose rayon union fabric showed better result in respect of tensile strength, abrasion resistance, drape coefficient (%) and pilling as comparisons to Eri x union fabric.

The union fabrics were made from eri with cotton and eri with polyester. The 2/60s eri silk yarn was used as warp and 2/40s cotton and polyester yarns were used as weft to construct the eri union fabrics using three different weaves namely plain, twill and satin. The prepared eri x cotton and eri x polyester union fabrics and also the pure eri x eri fabrics were tested for different physical properties. Properties of union fabric developed in a traditional handloom using 60s reed count. The quality parameters, viz., fabric tensile strength and elongation, crease recovery, drapability, thickness, abrasion, stiffness of the developed fabric, met essential apparel requirements. A comparative subjective evaluation of the fabric quality, viz., aesthetic appearance, luster, texture, was made with the help of a group of people from different age, educational and occupational background to examine the tactile properties as well as suitability of the fabric for the prepared products, all the respondents felt that eri x cotton twill, eri x polyester twill and eri x polyester satin were good in appearance. Texture and luster were found to be medium to high. About a very few respondents felt that fabrics were crispy.

Cotton/wool blended fabrics are growing in populari ty, due to increased consumer demand for styling, c omfort and for natural fibers. There is a resurgence of in terest in blending these two natural fibers through out the developed world, because they are perfect complements of each other. When blending of cotton and wool takes place, the str ngths of one fiber tempers the weaknesses of the other. The popu larity of these blends is due to their light weight , good strength, drapability, easy washability together with low cos t. Blended worsted yarns containing approximately e qual proportions of wool and cotton have been long established in knit wear, dress wear, under wear, children’s clothing, light weight shirting’s, pajamas clothes and blankets. As morpho logy, physical and chemical structure of both these fib rs differs, lots of work has been done by researchers on spinning, f i ishing and dyeing of this blend. Present paper re views aforementioned aspects related to cots wool...

Silk is the most cherished of all the textile fibres as it has elegance, lusture, fineness and strength. It has pleasing lusture and softer handle.

Silk fiber is the most beautiful natural fiber known as the "Queen of Textiles". Ahimsa silk is an eco-friendly, sustainable and non-violent process of the production. Cotton is a versatile fabric full of comfort properties. Hand spun and hand woven cotton fabric is another model of sustainable fabrics. Therefore, union fabrics in different ratios were prepared from Khadi cotton and ahimsa silk yarns (Eri Silk) and conventional Silk yarns (Muga Silk and tussar silk). Assessment of physical properties of Khadi cotton with Ahimsa silk and Conventional Silk union fabrics has been accomplished in this research. Objective of the study was to prepare union fabrics in three different ratios Eri*Cotton 33:67, Eri*Cotton 50:50 and Eri*Cotton 67:33 and assessment of its physical properties. These fabrics were tested in the wool Research Association for their crease resistance (resilience), pilling, shrinkage, tearing strength; moisture regain (absorbency) and drapability etc. The results indicate that Khadi cotton-ahimsa silk union fabrics are compatible to the other Khadi cotton-conventional silk union fabrics in their physical and comfort properties, so can be used for various garment construction.

In this study, two types of fabrics were produced from SRF/modal-union yarns which were spun on Ring and Open-end spinning machines. The fabrics woven from ring and open-end spun yarns were referred in this study as Ring fabric and O-E fabric respectively. Cotton yarn constituted the warp way of the fabric and SRF/modal yarn the weft way. Subjective evaluation revealed that the two samples of fabrics produced were brittle and prickled the skin. The O-E fabric was more brittle and heavier than the ring fabric. The fabric samples were subjected to combined desizing, scouring and bleaching using standard procedures. Attempts were made to suppress the harshness and prickliness of the sidarhombifolia component in two samples of the fabric and the results were compared. Geometrical properties such as drape, bending length, crease recovery and abrasion resistance was investigated on the grey and the bleached fabric. The results, after treatment, showed overall improvement in fabric handle ...

Sustainable fashion is not merely a short term trend but it could last many seasons and for generations to survive on the earth. Silk fiber is the most beautiful natural fiber known as the "Queen of Textiles". Ahimsa silk is a non-violent, eco-friendly and sustainable process of the production. Hand spun and hand woven cotton fabric is another model of sustainable fabrics. Therefore, union fabrics in different ratio viz. 33:67, 50:50 and 67:33 were prepared from cotton with Ahimsa (Eri) silk and Conventional (Muga and Tussar) silk yarns. Objective of the study was to assess sewability parameters of union fabrics. These fabrics were tested for their seam puckering, seam stiffness and seam thickness parameters. The results indicate that union fabrics produced by Ahimsa silk with cotton were compatible to the union fabrics produced by Conventional silk with cotton yarns in their sewability parameters, so these should be preferred for construction of various fashion garments and textile products.
