Document Summary
Some other characteristics that in uence characteristics type of yarn and its structure in uence hand and performance process used to produce the fabric in uences: Bre rends protrude above the surface when viewed closely no bre is as along as the yarn or the piece of fabric from while it was ravelled. Filament tow - crimped and textured, produced as a loose rope of several thousand bres, but to stable length. Will not be seen by the costumer. Bre density affects weight speci c gravity ratio of bre mass to the mass of equal volume of water at 4c. < 1 - lighter than water, oat in water most are heavier than water in uences comfort (eg. weight of fabric) Fibre diameter and fineness greatly affects how it feels and performance. Measured directly by micrometres (um) or microns. Merino sheep - use for apparel (<18-24 microns)
