    Effect of Yarn Twist On Fabric Appearance

    Uploaded by

    Indrani
    The document discusses the effect of yarn twist on fabric appearance and properties. There are two types of yarn twist: S-twist which is anti-clockwise and Z-twist which is clockwise. The level of twist impacts yarn thickness, light reflection, bending rigidity, pilling, and fabric cover factor. Different levels of twist can be used to produce varied fabric structures, like using S- and Z-twisted yarns alternately to create shadow stripe fabrics or different twist levels to make herringbone fabrics. Fabrics like georgette, chiffon, and voile are specified examples where twist level is a key factor in their construction.

    EFFECT OF YARN TWIST ON

    FABRIC APPEARANCE
    WHAT IS YARN TWIST?
     Twist is simply the spiral arrangement of fibers around the axis
    of the yarn. Through twisting, the fibers are bound together and
    create a to form a stronger yarn. It is denoted as turns per inch or
    turns per metre. There are 2 types of twist mainly :-
      S-twist:
    The anti-clockwise twist of yarn is called s-twist. The inclination of fibres in
    yarn looks similar to the middle part of the English letter “S”. It is also called as
    left hand twist.
           Z-twist:
    The clockwise twist of yarn is called z-twist. The inclination of fibres in the yarn
    looks similar to the middle part of English letter Z. It is also called as right hand
    twist.
    EFFECTS OF TWIST ON YARN & FABRIC PROPERTIES

    In the case of Aesthetic effects :


    1) Thelevel of twist in yarn alters its appearance both by
    changing the thickness and light reflecting properties.
    2) Different patterns can be produced in a fabric by using similar
    yarns but with different twist levels.
    3) A shadow stripe fabric can be produced in weaving by using
    alternate S&Z twisted yarns.
    4) Yarn twist also effects the light reflecting property of the
    fabric. Fabric with a low twisted yarn will have uniform
    reflection whereas in case of the high twisted yarn that will start
    reflecting the yarn with of the reflecting the light of it will
    scattered the light.
     Twist is also related to Bending rigidity.
     Yarn twist also effects Yarn pilling property .
     Higher the yarn twist it produces a relatively harder yarn and
    the fabric becomes more stiff and lower the yarn twist the
    softer is the yarn produced.
     Yarn twist also changes the appearance of the twill fabric.
    S-Twill:
    When the twill runs from the lower right to the upper left
    corner, the twill is known as a left-hand twill.
    Z-Twill:
    When the diagonal line runs from the lower left corner to the
    upper right corner, the twill is known as a right-hand twill.
    About85% of all twill-woven fabrics are right-hand twill.
     Yarn twist also effects the cover factor of a fabric due to the
    change in diameter of the yarn.
    FABRICS MADE BY APPLICATION
    OF DIFFERENT LEVEL OF TWISTS

    1) Georgette is made of highly twisted


    yarn(upto1000TPM) by weaving S and Z twisted
    yarns alternately.
    2)Chiffon is made in the same way but yarn is more
    twisted(up to 2000TPM) and more finer than
    georgette yarn.
    3)Herringbone is made by using yarns of different
    types and levels of twists.
    4) Voile is a fabric of plain weave with hard twisted
    single yarn. Twist is in the range of 30-40 TPI.
