Analysis on the Yarn and Fabric Characteristics of Chiengora Fibers from Hairs of Lhasa Apso Breed and Its Blends in Comparison with Wool and Its Blends. Part II – Fabric Characteristics

ABSTRACT

The chiengora yarns and woolen yarns along with polyester and acrylic are knitted into fabrics with 2 × 2 rib structures in 16 blend proportions. The properties of the chiengora fabrics and its blends are ascertained and compared with the properties of developed knitted wool fabrics and its blends. It is observed that the bursting strength of fabrics decreases with increase in chiengora content similar to woolen fabrics. The air permeability, wickability, and water vapor permeability are found to be lesser for 100% chiengora fabrics similar to the woolen fabrics. The chiengora fabrics possess better thermal insulation property. The 100% lhasa apso fabric has a thermal insulation value (TIV) of 0.606 clo, which is 38% more than the 100% wool fabric, which has 0.373 clo, thereby confirming that these fabrics can be used for thermal wears like sweaters. The presence of scales and thermal properties indicates better thermal insulation properties for these chiengora fiber fabrics. The 75/25 lhasa apso polyester fabrics can be considered as the better blend proportion than other produced fabrics due to their better yarn properties, comfort properties, and higher TIV than wool. The end use for all the produced chiengora blended fabrics is given based on the TIV.

摘要

将青原纱、毛纱与涤纶、腈纶混纺，制成16种混纺比例的2×2罗纹织物. 确定了真毛织物及其混纺织物的性能，并与开发的羊毛针织物及其混纺织物的性能进行了比较. 结果表明，织物的耐破强度随剑麻含量的增加而降低，与毛织物的耐破强度相似. 100%真毛织物的透气性、芯吸性和透湿性与毛织物相似. 该织物具有较好的隔热性能。100%拉萨apso面料的隔热值（TIV）为0.606 clo，比100%羊毛面料（0.373 clo）的隔热值高出38%，从而证实这些面料可用于毛衣等保暖服装. 鳞片和热性能的存在表明这些chiengora纤维织物具有更好的隔热性能. 75/25拉萨apso涤纶织物具有较好的成纱性能、舒适性和比羊毛更高的TIV，可以认为其混纺比优于其他生产的织物. 以TIV为基础，给出了生产的所有千古拉混纺织物的最终用途.
