Summary
ture cause the material to have good insulation properties and change the density of the material. A disorganised or less organised yarn surface gives dispersed light reflections, which in turn give a desirable matte appearance. The sponge-like structure is felt to be softer than the lean twisted ‘flat’ yarn, and the crimped or coiled filament structure gives a lower effective modulus of elasticity to the structure when compared to that of a flat yarn [3]. There are a number of approaches to texturing yarn. The methods currently employed by the industry include air-jet, steam-jet and
