Spun-like Yarns Developed by Spreading or Mixing Multi-Filament Yarns

Abstract

Some kinds of spun-like yams developed by the method of spreading or dividing a multi-filament yarn into individual filaments and mixing a multi-filament yarn with other components are introduced. For these methods a specially designed electrode and an air jet interlacing nozzle are suitably applicable respectively.
A representative example developed by these methods is so-called heather yarn in which two cross-dyeable or different coloured multifilament yarns are entangled each other. The fabric appearance varies widely according to the entangle level of used heather yarn and pep-per-and-salt effect is attained by 70% cluster-mixing grade.
“Manerd”, a kind of comosite yarn comosed of a synthetic multi-filament yarn and natural fibers is another example . In this yarn, natural fibers are so well intermingled with multi-filament yarn that are superior in durability against abrasion on post treatment and wear comparing to the regular core yarn. The yarn property is varied by their ratio and 60%70% of natural fibers is selected from both physical faculty and comfortability in “Manerd”
A novelty yarn which is covered by filament loops and is uneven in thickness can be also produced by these methods. In this process the genuine twists are gained from the false-twist mechanism.
