Abstract:

In this study, selected air-jet blends of cotton, polyester, viscose and modal fibers were used. The quality values of the yarns produced in the air-jet spinning (Vortex) system were investigated. In the Vortex spinning system, yarns with a mixture ratio of 65/35% Polyester/Viscose, 65/35% Cotton/Polyester and 50/50% Cotton/Modal were produced. Cotton fibers grown in Şanlıurfa region were used in the study. Since polyester, viscose and modal average fiber lengths are longer than cotton fiber, they can be better positioned to the core of the yarn during spinning. Since air-jet spinning technology is a system where spinning is done very quickly, the short average fiber length makes it difficult to place the fibers in the yarn core.
