ABSTRACT

100% linen short-staple yarns, spun using the wet spinning technique were used for this study. As the raw linen yarns are stiff, they cannot be directly used for knitting without any blend. This study was focused on the softening of 100% linen yarns using cationic and nonionic softeners in four different methods each. Out of the 8 different samples treated, yarn treated with the material: Liquor Ratio of 1:10 and concentration of cationic softener 2% OWL at a temperature of 50 degrees C for 30 mins showed good results like increase in softness, elongation, improved flexural rigidity, hairiness, friction, and unevenness with minimum loss in strength. This leads to a good result in the softening of 100% linen yarn. Knitting trials were also carried out, the untreated linen yarns show poor knittability and the knitted fabrics produced using softener treated yarns showed excellent knittability without any defects in the fabrics.

摘要

使用湿纺技术纺制的 100% 亚麻短纤维纱线用于本研究。由于原麻纱较硬，不经混纺不能直接用于针织。这项研究的重点是使用阳离子和非离子柔软剂分别采用四种不同的方法来柔软 100% 亚麻纱线。在处理的 8 个不同样品中，用以下材料处理的纱线：1:10 的液比和 2% OWL 的阳离子柔软剂浓度，在 50 摄氏度的温度下 30 分钟显示出良好的结果，如柔软度增加、伸长率、弯曲度改善刚度、毛羽、摩擦和不均匀性，强度损失最小。这导致 100% 亚麻纱的柔软效果良好。还进行了针织试验，
