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: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
