1. Advantages and applications of high twist yarn
(1) What is high twist yarn?
High twist yarn refers to yarn with a higher number of twists per inch (TPI) per unit length during the spinning process. Generally speaking, a higher twist allows the fibers to be more tightly entangled, thereby improving the tensile strength and abrasion resistance of the yarn.
(2) How does high twist yarn affect fabric performance?
Enhanced pilling resistance: The higher the twist, the less likely the fibers are to loosen from the yarn, reducing the possibility of pilling.
Improved abrasion resistance: The internal structure of high twist yarn is tighter, reducing the risk of yarn breakage and making the fabric more durable.
Improved tear resistance: Yarn with a higher twist can withstand greater tension, thereby enhancing the overall tear resistance of the fabric.
(3) How to adjust the twist?
Light twist (200-400 TPI) is suitable for softer sofa fabrics, which are more comfortable to the touch, but have weaker pilling resistance.
Medium twist (400-800 TPI) is suitable for most high-end furniture fabrics, balancing softness and durability.
High twist (800+ TPI) is suitable for high-strength wear-resistant scenarios, such as commercial sofas and hotel fabrics.
In actual production, different warp and weft yarns may require different twists to balance comfort and durability. Warp yarns can use high twist yarns to enhance wear resistance, while weft yarns use medium twist yarns to maintain the softness of the fabric.
2. Ring Spinning Process: Improving Yarn Stability
(1) Introduction to Ring Spinning Process
Ring spinning is the most common spinning method in the spinning industry. It can produce yarns with high strength, strong wear resistance and low hairiness. Compared with air jet spinning or open-end spinning, ring-spun yarn has a tighter structure and is suitable for high-durability sofa fabrics.
(2) Advantages of ring-spun yarn
Higher strength: Due to the more regular fiber arrangement, ring-spun yarn has higher breaking strength and can effectively improve the tear resistance of the fabric.
Better wear resistance: Ring-spun yarn has less hairiness on the surface and is not easily damaged by long-term friction, making it suitable for high-end furniture fabrics.
More delicate hand feel: Ring spinning can produce smoother yarn and improve the comfort of the fabric.
3. Core-spun yarn technology: enhancing fiber toughness
(1) What is core-spun yarn?
Core-spun yarn is a yarn that uses high-strength fibers (such as polyester and nylon) in the core part and is covered with other fibers (such as cotton and viscose) on the outside, thereby improving the durability of the overall yarn.
(2) Advantages of core-spun yarn
Improve tear resistance: High-strength fibers such as polyester and nylon can effectively prevent fabric breakage.
Improve wear resistance: Core-spun yarn can reduce friction damage and make the fabric more durable.
Enhance elasticity and softness: The outer layer is covered with cotton or viscose fibers, so that the fabric still maintains a comfortable feel.
(3) Applications of different types of core-spun yarns
Polyester + viscose core-spun yarn: Suitable for high-end furniture fabrics that require higher softness but still need to be wear-resistant.
Nylon + polyester core-spun yarn: Suitable for commercial use, providing higher strength and durability.
Spandex core-spun yarn: Increase elasticity, make the fabric fit the shape of the furniture better, and improve comfort.
4. Other ways to optimize yarn structure
In addition to high twist, ring spinning and core-spun yarn technology, the following methods can also be used to further optimize the yarn structure:
Two-ply yarn: Two or more yarns are twisted together to improve strength and wear resistance, suitable for high-end sofa fabrics.
Filament blending: Adding filaments, such as polyester filaments, to short fibers to improve the overall wear resistance of the fabric.
Anti-pilling fibers: Use special anti-pilling polyester or nylon to improve anti-pilling performance and extend service life.
5. Conclusion: How does yarn structure optimization improve durability?
By rationally optimizing yarn twist, spinning process, and core-spun yarn structure, the anti-pilling, tearing, and wear resistance of Chenille Sofa Woven Jacquard Fabrics can be significantly improved. Specifically:
High twist yarn reduces fiber looseness and improves wear resistance.
Ring spinning process makes the yarn stronger and enhances durability.
Core-spun yarn technology improves fabric strength while maintaining comfort.
Double-ply twisting, filament blending and other methods further optimize yarn structure and improve product competitiveness.
