Lecture : Chapter 4
Document Summary
Chapter 4: explain why combed yarns are more costly than carded yarns of the same fiber content and size. Combed yarns go through a longer process that involves more labor and machine power. Comment on the use of novelty yarns for fabrics to be used for children"s wear. Novelty yarns are yarns that have varying textures and thicknesses. Novelty yarn wouldn"t be ideal for children"s wear because they usually don"t have the greatest durability. Filament fibers would be better for spun yarns because they only need to be twisted together after they pass through the spinnerette. Ply yarns are more expensive to make and are better quality then the cheaper alternative. They require more labor and machinery to create the yarn.
