Siro And Two-Fold Yarns

Abstract

Investigation was carried out on how the tensile and related properties of Siro yarns, spun from two separated rovings of different types of materials, were affected by the twist factor and draft. Comparison on Siro yarns and two-fold yarns of the same linear density and twist factor revealed that the former was better in tensile strength and related properties. The Siro yarns are believed to be able to bear extra tension during manufacturing processes such as weaving and knitting.
