Abstract

In this study, the properties of ring, rotor, and vortex spun yarns produced in different counts from cotton, viscose rayon, and 50/50 cotton-modal blended fibers were investigated. Yarn samples were converted into knitted fabrics in a single jersey circular knitting machine and dyed with reactive dyestuff to determine the physical performances of the yarns in knitted form. The results revealed that vortex spun yarns have lower hairiness and better pilling resistance over ring and open-end rotor spun yarns. Furthermore, viscose rayon yielded more satisfactory results in the vortex spinning system in terms of yarn strength, particularly in coarser yarn counts and hairiness.
