Abstract

Producing yarn from natural fibers without creating irregularities in structure or having fibers protruding from the surface, remains the goal of spinners. This is a problem, as structural irregularities such as hairiness affect subsequent fabric manufacturing processes and the aesthetics of the final fabric. This work therefore focused on investigating the effects of varying the spindle speed of a ring spinning frame on the structure of yarn (i.e., its surface regularity and hairiness), its strength and the surface pilling of fabric made from such yarn with a view to optimizing the spindle speed. For this, yarns with counts of 20, 25, and 30 tex were produced at six different spindle speeds ranging from 11,000 to 21,000 rpm with an interval of 2,000 rpm. All other parameters were kept constant, including the draft for a particular count, the type and weight of the traveler, and the diameter of the ring. The results obtained revealed that as the spindle speed was increased to 17,000 rpm, the yarn structure became more regular and less hairy, thereby becoming stronger. Beyond 17,000 rpm, however, both the regularity and strength decreased, with the hairiness continuing to increase with increasing spindle speed. Consequently, the surface pilling of the fabric was found to be optimized when made from yarns produced at a spindle speed of 17,000 rpm.
