Abstract:
My thesis work examines how Siro yarn, Compact yarn and Siro Compact yarn work in performance, using 100% Australian cotton for all. Yarn samples were prepared with strict control to ensure 10,14,16,18,20,22,24 Ne yarn counts and twist amounts and draft were changed. The cotton was tested using equipment in the industry to determine Unevenness, Co efficient of Variation of mass, Imperfection Index (IPI), Hairiness, Tensile Strength (CN/TEX) and elongation. Siro Compact yarn is tested to have superior uniformity, less hairiness, higher strength and greater elongation than Siro and Compact yarns. When the Siro and Compact techniques are used together, the yarn mostly gains properties suitable for making tough, long- lasting textiles.
