Hairiness properties of polyester-cotton blended yarns

摘要

EIB-MTH hairiness tester, Shirley hairiness tester, Laserspot and Uster Tester 3 have been used to observe the relationship between hairiness results obtained when different measuring principles on these instruments are used. The effect of blend ratio and winding on hairiness properties of ring-spun yarns has also been assessed. Almost all the measuring instruments reported increase in yarn hairiness after winding. A high correlation has been found between the test results obtained on these instruments.
