This study is focused on the hairiness of worsted wool yarns and how it affects the pilling propensity of knitted wool fabrics. Conventional worsted ring spun yarns are compared with comparable Solospun yarns and yarns modified with a hairiness reducing air nozzle in the winding process (JetWind). Measurements of yarn hairiness (S3) on the Zweigle G565 hairiness meter shows a reduction in the S...

Nano sized Titanium dioxide (TiO2) produced by sol-gel method was applied on worsted fabrics using mini stenter before and after dyeing with Anthra red B Acid black 194. The effect of TiO2 breaking strength, tear seam slippage, hydrophobicity, fastness color change the examined comparatively considering application step. brightness were measured a spectrophotometer FTIR-ATR, respectively. It ob...
