Author:SAWTRIDate:Dec 1987Seam slippage in woven woolen fabrics for leisure wear was investigated. The results obtained showed that a change in the stitch length or sewing thread type did not have a significant effect on the magnitude of seam slippage. However, the ...Read more
Author:Turpie, DWFDate:May 1973The investigation described in this paper is the first of a series in which the objective is to find a set of scouring conditions, with particular emphasis on pH, which will give optimum results in subsequent mechanical processing.Read more
Author:Turpie, DWFDate:Jun 1973This paper is the second of its series in which the objective is to arrive at a set of scouring conditions which will give optimum results in subsequent mechanical processing.Read more
Author:Turpie, DWFDate:May 1974This paper is the third of a series in which the objective is to arrive at a set of scouring conditions which will affect subsequent mechanical processing most favorably.Read more
Author:Turpie, DWFDate:May 1975This paper is the fourth of a series in which the objective is to arrive at a set of scouring conditions which will affect subsequent mechanical processing most favorably.Read more
Author:Shorthouse, CM; Robinson, GADate:Mar 1987Repco wrapped core-spun (RWCS) and Repco wrapped spun (RWS) wool yarns, having textured nylon or polyester as the filament component, were spun to limiting counts and then knitted into medium and fine gauge double jersey fabrics (Pun to-di-Roma ...Read more
Author:Hanekom, EC; de Mattos, GWP; Freyer, DBDate:Sep 1971This investigation was undertaken to establish whether wool fabrics could effectively be rendered shrink-resistant by the application of an alkylated methylomelamine resin without harshening the handle of the fabrics to any significant extent.Read more
Author:Cawood, MP; Robinson, GA; Dobson, DADate:Jun 1976Those knitting variables which are considered critical in the knitting of fine staple yarns on a single jersey circular machine have been investigated in terms of knitting performance.Read more
Author:Hunter, L; Cawood, M; Dobson, DADate:Jul 1975One of the aims of this investigation was to determine in which particular course a yarn break occurred; different coloured yarns were used at the various feeders.Read more
Author:Hunter, L; Strydom, MADate:Sep 1983A preliminary study, covering five wool lots, has been carried out to establish the effect of limited changes in either fibre diameter or fibre length on the spinning performance and properties of Sirospun yarns.Read more
Author:Layton, L; Robinson, GADate:Jul 1978Short staple wools were blended with cotton and spun into singles yarns on both the ring and rotor system.Read more
Author:Layton, L; Robinson, GADate:Nov 1977An attempt to find a suitable size formulation for the weaving of all-wool singles yarns is described.Read more
Author:Layton, L; Robinson, GADate:May 1978An investigation into the processing and sizing of singles wool blend yarns showed that a relatively short wool can be blended with cotton and short staple polyester fibres and satisfactorily processed into fabric.Read more
Author:Gee, EDate:Aug 1977The mean and standard deviation are useful descriptions of fibre diameter and length distributions but are not necessarily of high accuracy.Read more
Author:Meissner, HD; Mclver, BADate:Aug 1974A method is described for dyeing wool with reactive dyes from perchloroethylene utilizing the solvent soluble complex of the dye and a surface-active agent of opposite charge.Read more
Author:Strydom, MADate:May 1974A laboratory method for dyeing basic dyeable acrylic fibres from a "charged" perchhloroethylene dyebath is described.Read more
