A Comparative Study on Physical and Comfort Properties of Yarns and Hand-woven Fabrics Produced from Virgin and Recycled Fibers

Products produced from textile industries cannot meet the needs for human kind since population of world grows exponentially; due to this recycling materials has gained massive importance in and clothing sector. In study, it was aimed analyse recycled fibers effect on yarn hand loom fabrics as their proportion increases. For purpose, OE rotor yarns by varying at 25%, 50, 75% compared with 100% virgin cotton yarns. The physical mechanical properties such unevenness, imperfections, hairiness, breaking force, elongation, were measured Uster Tester 4 SX, Zweigle Hairiness 5, Tensorapid 3. Then after plain twill are different fiber proportions. effects hand-woven fabric pilling, abrasion resistance air permeability also evaluated. Results showed that blended suitable applications where strength less critical, but imperfections handle required thus, Produced can suitably used home furnishing like table cover, curtains, wall covers pillow cases.
