Abstract:
Junlon ia a polynosic fibre developed recently and polynosic cotton blends were ruite common "by 1980s.For the first time in Pugoda Kills polynosic/cotton yorn
was produced in 19C3. The counts produced wore 45s and 50s and the yorn produced use mainly for the local market.The blending ratio was 65% cotton to 35% polynosic. With the blended yarn, fabric with the following consti-uction
was produced in six looms.
Warp count of yorn 45s
Weft Count of yarn 45s
Total no, of warp aids 3712
Picks per inch 64
Reed Count 88s
Reed width 41.8 inches
Reave Plain
And were drawn through two heald frames. The objective 01 the project is to study the performance of polynosic/Cotton blended yarn in the process of
weaving and determine the optimum size percentage to be used in order to achieve maximum weaving efficiency in the loom shed under normal working conditions.
