Effect of Fiber/Yarn Variables on Mechanical Properties of Spliced Yarn

Abstract

Pneumatic splicing was examined for various yarns spun from different fibers on different spinning systems. The retention properties of the spliced yarns compared to normal yarn are discussed; the results indicate that wet splicing gives better property retention than dry splicing. Retention of yarn properties in decreasing order was for yarns spun from polyester, polyester-rich blends, viscose, cotton, and wool, respectively. Coarse yarn, particularly that spun on a ring spinning system, contributes the most to better spliced yarn properties.
