 Full text | Abstract: The control of fabric quality in terms of the basic structure, like yarn type, yarn count, twist multiplier, ends per inch and picks per inch, cover factor etc. is very important, as these parameters finally determine the quality aspects of the fabric during its interaction with the chemicals used in the process. In this work an attempt was made to investigate the influence of structural parameters of the yarn and fabric, like the yarn count, yarn twist multiplier and the p.p.i. on the final performance of desized, 100% cotton fabric. Desizing is the first stage of all the preparatory processes, wherein the size of the materials applied to the warp yarn during weaving is removed. This process determines the performance of the subsequent processes, such as the uniformity of scouring, bleaching, dyeing etc. which is quite crucial in maintaining the quality of the finished fabric. |
