Term
|
Definition
| a process of producing a spun yarn by using carefully controlled, rapidly moving jets of air |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a fabric that consists of two or more generically different fiber types |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a yarn of unlike filaments of different deniers or generic types blended together |
|
|
Term
| Bulk-continuous-filament yarn |
|
Definition
| (BCF) made of textured or crimped filament fibers |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A yarn that has been processed to have greater covering power or apparent volume as compared with a conventional yarn |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a yarn formed from inherently bulky fibers (see also Textured yarn) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a slightly irregular spun yarn with short-staple fibers and protruding fiber ends |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| one step in yarn spinning. Staple fibers are drawn together in a somewhat parallel arrangement to form a very weak rope of fibers called carded sliver |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a uniform spun yarn with long-staple fibers and few protruding fiber ends |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| refers to a fabric of two or more generically different fiber types in which ply yarns consist of strands of each generic type |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| an additional step in the production of smooth, fine, uniform spun yarns made of long-staple fibers |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| describes a fiber-finishing step in which a manufactured fiber is elongated after spinning to alter the molecular arrangement within the fiber, increasing crystallinity and orientation and resulting in a change in specific performance properties |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a yarn made from filament fibers; smooth or bulky types are possible |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a bulk yarn with little or no stretch |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a fiber blend. Yarns of one generic type are present in one fabric area (i.e., the warp) and yarns of another generic type are present in another fabric area (i.e., the filling) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a filament yarn consisting of a single fiber |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a spun yarn process that eliminates roving and twisting |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| an initial step in the production of spun yarns that loosen fibers from bale form and cleans and blends the fibers |
|
|
Term
| Ring or conventional spinning |
|
Definition
| a process for producing spun yarns. A series of operations removes fibers from a bale, removes debris, makes the fibers parallel, draws them into a fine strand, and adds twist to hold them together |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a step in the production of some spun yarns. The drawn sliver is reduced in size, fibers are made more parallel, and a small amount of twist is inserted. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a very weak rope of fibers produced in intermediate steps in the production of spun yarns |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a yarn of filament fibers that have not been crimped or textured |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| refers to the process of producing a yarn from staple fibers; it also refers to the production of a fiber by extruding a solution through tiny holes in a spinneret. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a continuous strand of staple fibers held together by some mechanism |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a yarn with high degrees of potential elastic stretch and yarn curl |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| an inexpensive yarn produced from extruded polymer film by extrusion of the split-fiber method |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| another term for a textured-bulk-filament yarn; a yarn with notably greater apparent volume than a similar conventional yarn |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| refers to the process of adding bulk to yarns or modifying fabric surfaces |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| refers to the process of twisting silk filaments into a yarn or to the process of twisting and texturing synthetic-fiber-filament yarns |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| refers to a process of converting filament fibers to staple fibers by cutting or break stretching |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| refers to a process of converting filament fibers to staple fibers by break stretching, drawing the fibers, adding twist, and winding the yarn on a bobbin |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a slightly irregular bulky wool or wool-like yarn that has not been combed |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a smooth, straight, and uniform wool or wool-like yarn that has been processed to remove short fibers and make the remaining fibers more parallel |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| an assemblage of fibers twisted or laid together so as to form a continuous strand that can be made into a textile fabric |
