Abstract
- The STT system is one in which unidirectional twist is added to self-twist yarns to produce two-ply weaving yarns. The added twist required for the elimination of fabric patterning due to cyclic twist variation in the yarn has been determined and has been expressed in terms of the amount of self-twist in the yarn. Fabrics woven from STT yarns have been evaluated, and the dependence of fabric properties on initial self-twist and on added-twist levels has been investigated. This has resulted in recommendations for the spinning and twisting of STT yarns for use in making high-quality worsted fabrics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
