Course content
Day 1
Fibres
• classification of textile fibres
• physical and behavioural characteristics
• morphology and chemical structure
• the theory of fibre identification
• fibre testing: length, strength, fineness,
• quantitative analysis
Yarns
classification of yarns
• regain, moisture content, relative humidity and effects
• Linear density: count, denier, tex and their determination
• yarn regularity: classification, principles of measurement, analysis and meaning of results
• yarn strength: straight, loop and knot measurement; analysis of load/ extension curve
• twist in yarns: measurement and expression of results; twist factors
• miscellaneous tests: yarn hairiness, friction
Day 2
Fabrics
