How Chenille Yarn Reflects the Skill Level of the Textile Industry
Yarn, as a semi-finished product in the upstream of textile production, not only affects the efficiency of downstream fabric production but also determines the quality, functionality, texture, and appearance of the fabric. Fancy yarns and their fabrics, as a rising star in the textile industry, are key to increasing the added value of textiles and the competitiveness of enterprises. They play a vital role in the development of fiber raw materials, spinning, weaving, dyeing and finishing, textile design, apparel, home textiles, and industrial textiles, and are an important aspect reflecting the development and technological level of the textile industry.
In the spinning process, the core yarn is divided into upper core yarn and lower core yarn. Under the action of the traction roller, they are unwound from the bobbin and fed in together. Under the action of the roller plates and spacers, the upper and lower core yarns are positioned on both sides of the feathered yarn, both in the center of the feathered yarn.
Feather yarn consists of two or three single yarns. These single yarns are unwound from the bobbin and twisted during high-speed rotation, increasing their cohesiveness. Simultaneously, they are wound onto spacers to form loops. These loops slide downwards with the rotation of the rollers, where they are cut into short feathers by blades. These short feathers, along with the upper core yarn, are fed into the control rollers and combined with the lower core yarn. Thus, the feather yarn is sandwiched between the two core yarns and enters the twisting zone.
Specialty yarns use a wide variety of raw materials.
After being kneaded and spun, they are drawn several times to form monofilaments. These monofilament fibers are then twisted and combined into three strands. Because drawn yarns have a rounded diameter and moderate softness, they are less prone to skipped stitches or breakage during use. Furthermore, the stitches are even and full, leaving no gaps after the needle passes through, ensuring the filtration efficiency of the filter media.
Specialty yarns, also known as fancy yarns, are yarns with unique structures and appearances obtained by using special raw materials, equipment, or processes during spinning and yarn making. They are a type of yarn product with decorative functions. In recent years, specialty yarns and their fabrics have been showcased extensively at international yarn and fabric exhibitions.
Specialty yarns use a wide variety of raw materials, including cotton, wool, silk, linen, chemical fibers, and scraps. There are many methods for producing specialty yarns, and different methods can be combined to create new fancy yarn products. They are primarily divided into six categories, encompassing more than seventy types.
