Effect of chenille yarn parameters on yarn shrinkage behavior

Abstract

The effects of chenille yam properties-pile material type, pile length, and twist level-on the boiling shrinkage behavior of chenille yams are examined in this study. Different chenille yams are produced on a chenille machine using a range of pile material types, twist levels, and pile lengths. Nm 4 and Nm 6 count chenille yams are produced from different pile materials of viscose, acrylic (0.9 dtex), acrylic (1.3 dtex), combed cotton, carded cotton, and open-end cotton, in two different pile lengths of 0.7 and 1.0 mm and two different twist levels of 700 and 850 T/m. The results indicate that pile material types, pile lengths, and twist levels have significant effects on the boiling shrinkage of chenille yams.
