Silk/Cotton/Scoured Silk Core Twin Spun Yams

Abstract

A technique is described for producing a spun silk/cotton/scoured silk continuous filament composite yam by using the spun silk ring spinning frame. This novel com posite yam is called "core twin spun" yam. The tensile and compression properties of a few other yams with different structures are discussed. The core twin spun com bination yam may be useful in developing and designing new materials for the spun silk fabrics.
