A comprehensive study on the component properties of hybrid weft yarns and their effects on denim fabric performance

This paper presents impact of the use of hybrid weft yarns on denim fabric performance. It explores the synergy between the mechanical properties of these yarns and their influence on fabric characteristics like elasticity, recovery, and bagging resistance. For this purpose, different types of elastane in different thicknesses, polyester and elastomultiester were used in the production of soft-core and double-core spun yarns. Highlighting significant advancements in yarn production technologies and material selection, the study underscores the potential of these yarns in enhancing the functional attributes of denim fabrics. The results indicated that rather than the type of elastane, the characteristics of the yarn type and core components had statistically significant effects on the performance of yarn and fabric.
