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
Author:Barkenhuysen, FA; Van Rensburg, NJJDate:Oct 1982Some chemical properties of various South African cotton cultivars, and their response to mercerising treatments were determined.Read more
Author:Hunter, L; Turpie, DWFDate:Jun 1974The influence of polyester type in wool/polyester, and of different additives on the end breakage rate during spinning and on the physical properties (tensile, irregularity and frequency of faults) of the resulting yarns has been investigated.Read more
Author:Hunter, LDate:May 1975The dimensional properties and knitting performance of four double jersey structures. Single Pique, Royal Interlock, Pin-tuck and Texi-pique, have been investigated.Read more
Author:Roberts, MBDate:May 1977The effect of common processing conditions such as dry heat, steam aqueous treatments of different pH and oxidising agents upon the mohair fibre was examined in terms of changes in mass loss.Read more
Author:Layton, L; Ellis, R; Robinson, GADate:Jul 1974Three novel methods of producing mohair blankets are described and compared with the conventional method of weaving.Read more
Author:Hunter, LDate:Jul 1973Some results obtained and observations made during routine test carried out with a capacitance yarn fault classifying instrument on about 400 kg of yarn are reported.Read more
Author:Turpie, DWFDate:Feb 1984There is no doubt that mohair has many characteristics which make it highly desirable and valued by consumers all over the world.Read more
Author:Slinger, RI; Robinson, GADate:Dec 1968Several worsted fabrics made from merino/corriedale, corriedale/mohair and merino/mohair blends were examined.Read more
Author:Hunter, L; Gee, E; Sanderson, KWDate:Jun 1983The physical properties of more than 2000 cotton samples, covering three seasons, various cultivars and different production areas, have been measured and average to provide typical values for the different cultivars.Read more
Author:Barkenhuysen, FA; Van Rensburg, NJJDate:Jul 1984The modification of the structure of bleached cotton treated in yarn from with anhydrous liquid ammonia and liquid ammonia containing as much as 15% water was determined with the aid of iodine and moisture absorption tests, X-ray diffraction ...Read more
