 ABSTRACT

Quality characterstics of pure 100 per cent yarns and blended yarns differs to a greater extent. Thus random mixing of different fibres is the most common practice of yarn formation as a result textile fibre is blended to incorporate desirable properties. The most important factor that determines the yarn properties is type of yarn used and ratio of fibres used in the blend. Thus an attempt was made to study the quality characterstics of cotton and polyester yarns with that of regenerated yarns Bamboo and Tencel. Yarn count, yarn twist, yarn crimp, yarn evenness, yarn hairiness, yarn strength and elongation and count strength product using standard methods were assessed. Data analysis was carried by two way ANOVA method two and three factorial analysis using Windostat software. The results indicated that Cotton and Polyester yarns possessed good amount of yarn twist, count strength product, while Polyester yarn possessed good amount of strength and elongation when compared to Cotton due to the plastic nature of Polyester. Bamboo yarns possessed lesser strength when compared to Tencel yarns.
