Influence of strand spacing on the interfibre cohesion in siro yarns

Abstract

Abstract This article investigates the influence of varying strand spacings in the case of siro or double-rove yarns. Studies have been carried out on cotton, polyester and polyester–cotton yarns. Although the trend is found to be the same, cotton yarns exhibited the best cohesion followed by polyester–cotton and polyester yarns. The influence of strand spacings on the yarn tenacities was also investigated. The effect was not as marked as that found in the cohesion.
