Study of ring-, rotor- and compact-spun yarn fabrics: Effect of spinning method on thermal resistance of fabrics

Fabrics woven from ring, rotor and compact spun yarns have been compared from the standpoint of thermal comfort. Emphasis has been placed on the thermal aspects by the use of the Kawabata Thermolabo-II. For all experimental combinations, the ring spun yarn fabrics possess better thermal resistance, poor air permeability. Also it has been seen that spinning method does not have significant effect on GSM and thickness of fabric, but within spinning method with increase in GSM and thickness of fabric thermal insulation of fabric also increases.
