Studies on Shrinkage Properties of Spun Silk Yarn and it's Fabric

摘要

In this paper, spun silk yarn produced from mulberry, muga, tasar waste and Red eri and white eri cocoons on worsted system of spinning mill, three varieties of plain fabric were woven on power loom by using 2/60sNm in warp, 2/60sNm, 2/80sNm and 2/120sNm yarns in the weft . The shrinkage properties of yarn and fabric have been tested according to international standard testing methods. In this paper, results of investigations of shrinkage properties of yarn and fabric have been presented as per the requirement of industry. Results have been compared among the each variety of yarn and fabric. The results of the investigation thoroughly discussed. The results indicate that variety of silk, weft yarn count and interaction effect are significantly affecting the spun silk yarn and fabric shrinkage properties.
