Abstract:

The yarn for cashmere knitted fabric is mainly processed by ring spinning and mule spinning. In this paper, four kinds of cashmere dye colours (red, black, grey, and beige) were selected to compare the pilling performance of cashmere knitted fabric of mule yarn and ring yarn. The pilling rates of the fabrics for different colours and spinning methods were tested using ICI’s Pilling Box, and the worn-off weight of the pill and fuzz for each sample was measured using an electronic balance. The results showed that the pilling rate of cashmere knitted fabric of mule yarn is higher than that of ring yarn, and that the worn-off weight of cashmere knitted fabric of mule yarn is less than that of ring yarn.
