Effect of spinning method and kapok fiber content on properties of Lyocell/kapok fiber/wool blended yarn
In order to improve the performance of kapok blended yarn and expand the application range of kapok fiber,the effects of spinning method and kapok fiber content on the performance of Lyocell/kapok fiber/wool blended yarn were studied.Six groups of Lyocell/kapok fiber/wool blended yarns with ratios of 80/10/10,70/20/10 and 60/30/10 were spun by condensed spinning and vortex spinning,respectively.The appearance of the yarn was observed,and its twist,hairiness,evenness,strength,moisture regain and moisture content were tested and analyzed.The quality of the yarn was compared and evaluated.The results show that the blending ratio has little effect on the twist of Lyocell/kapok fiber/wool blended yarn.Increasing the proportion of kapok fiber,the moisture regains and moisture content of the blended yarn increased,the moisture absorption performance improved,the breaking strength,elongation at break and evenness decreased,and the hairiness increased.The comprehensive quality of Lyocell/kapok fiber/wool blended yarn with the ratio of 80/10/10 is the best,which can be used for the development of middle and high-grade underwear and vestment fabrics.
