This article examines the application of Nu-Torque singles ring yarns on woven fabrics to improve surface appearance of denim fabric and fabric dimensional stability after laundering. Woven fabrics supply most of the market for cotton goods in the world. Although fabric dimensional instability and distortion after laundering are perceived by consumers as less a problem in cotton woven fabrics than in cotton knits, these problems still degrade the quality of products. Some observable consequences of laundering cotton woven fabrics are fabric surface unevenness, fabric dimensional instability, and skewness. These quality problems all reflect many parameters including fiber type, yarn structure, fabric construction and finishing processes the fabric undergoes. Yarn residual torque is believed to be one of the factors contributing to the surface unevenness of fabric, fabric dimensional instability, and distortion after laundering. To evaluate the effects of weft yarn torque on the small snake pattern of the denim fabrics, one fabric sample was produced by using the Nu-Torque yarns as weft yarns, two conventional fabrics with normal twist level yarns and low twist level yarns as wefts were also woven for comparison of fabric properties and appearance. |
