 Full text | Abstract: In recent years, compact spinning technology, recognised as a revolution in ring spinning, has been successfully used in the production of mono-fibre yarns and blended yarns. Understanding the radial distribution of fibres in compact-spun flax-cotton blended yarn is of importance for improvement in the performance of compact-spun flax-cotton blended yarns. This paper investigated the radial distribution of compact-spun flax-cotton blended yarn using the Hamilton migration index, and it was compared with traditional ring-spun flaxcotton blended yarn. The results indicated that the fibre migration of traditional ring-spun flax-cotton blended yarn was more obvious than that of compact-spun flax-cotton blended yarn, and the radial distribution of fibres in compact-spun flax-cotton blended yarns was more random. Therefore the traditional migration rule does not fully apply to compact spinning technology and should be given more attention in practice. |
