Quality Parameters Analysis of Ring Spun Yarns Made from Different Blends of Bamboo and Cotton Fibres

Besides its decorative handicraft antiques and other conventional uses, the importance of bamboo crop has been increased due to its use in textiles as a vegetable fibre. The absorbent nature of bamboo fibre has lead to its various applications in textiles. The focus of present research is to optimize the quality of bamboo/cotton blends. Therefore, present study investigates the influence of bamboo/cotton fibre blends in rotating blend ratios on the quality of ring spun yarns. The other yarn tensile properties affecting variables like break draft and twist multiplier are also included in this research study. The best results were recorded at twist multiplier 3.9 and break draft 1.27. The moisture regain capacity of bamboo fibre was remarkably higher than that of cotton. However, the tensile strength decreases with increase in bamboo share in blended yarn.
