A Study of Throstle-spun-silk/Raw-silk Core-spun Yarn Part III: Yarn Appearance

Abstract

Using different spinning systems, the experimental core-spun yarns are made from the same fiber material under the same yarn conditions, namely, yarn count, twist factor, and fiber composition. The shape factor is adopted to evaluate the core eccentricity expressed as the position of the continuous-filament core yarn in the cross section of the core-spun yarn. The bispectrum is applied to consider the yarn irregularity in spectral analysis. The characteristic-appearance of the throstle-spun yarn is discussed and compared with that of the ring-spun yarn.
