SPINNING A Yarn is usually of substantial length & of a small cross-section. In the cross-section of yarn, there are usually multiple numbers of Staple fibers (short fibers) or Filaments (long fibers) of unlimited length. Spinning is the process of creating yarn (or thread, rope, cable) from various raw fiber materials. Several fibers are twisted […]

Denim is made from a tightly woven twill in which the weft passes under two or more warp threads. Denim is an indigo-dyed cotton twill fabric in which the weft passes under two or more warp yarns.

Physical properties of warp yarn are improved by incorporating oligomer resin into the yarn interior at the size box. These improvements yield benefits at each step of the fabric formation process from size box to the woven greige fabric. Warp sizing technology has been in a period of stagnation following the introduction of synthetic polymers into size formulations nearly 60 years ago. As noted in the following “Warp Sizing: A Brief History”, abrasion-resistant surface barriers may have reached optimum performance in sizing.

Higher quality yarn improves the weaving process. Introduction of very small non-film forming resin particles in conventional size formulations modify and provide improved fiber cohesion in the warp yarn bundle. This transient effect provides a more compact and improved yarn substrate to host conventional warp size polymers on the yarn surface. Evaluation of this technology in producing mills has provided positive results in all factors associated in the weaving process.

Skip twills are a type of broken twill effects formed by a skip drawing-in draft and a regular twill weave as a chain draft. The weaves that form a wave effects across the cloth known as pointed twills. These effects are also frequently spoken of as herring banes, or herring-bones stripes, because the radiating twill lines suggest the radiating bones of a fish’s backbone.
