Finding Exciting Value Enhancement Reasons for Textile Industry in the period of Unprecedented Global Economic Crisis. - by Umesh Sharma
The slump in the world economy has become more pronounced and consumers are becoming thriftier and less willing to purchase items that are not necessary. This is precisely why it is important for people involved in textile value chain specially Knitting, Weaving companies, Garment companies, Fashion designers, Clothing Brands to understand this problem and find ways to improve value of end products being sold by controlling cost and same time communicate clearly with consumers by giving exciting value enhancement “reason to buy.”

Traditionally, only appeal to fabric “Look and Touch” influences the buying decisions of most of fashion designers, people involved in fashion industry and brands buyers but yarn parameters are greatly ignored. Many times, we have seen several dissatisfied consumers, after they use garment made with that fabric after couple of washes, beauty is gone.

The question before yarn spinning companies is “How to make a spun yarn that can be woven or knitted with better performance on machines, provide process saving and without a costly chemical treatment during fabric finishing?

Ironically, there are no yarn qualities standards from yarn to fabrics, what standards are being referenced are for yarn production parameters not fabric prerequisites. Knitted and woven fabrics productions levels are often chosen through trial and error or by experimental approaches using one-time experiments or based on past experience with particular yarn being used. Idea is to study yarn characteristics properties and understand how it can influence knitted fabrics to propose cost effective value enhancing features in knitted fabrics.

The characteristic properties of spun yarns have significant influence on the performance of subsequent fabric manufacturing operations as well as the end-product quality. Several fabric properties such as strength, handle, elongation, covering factor, resistance to abrasion, ease of dyeing, and wearing comfort are affected by yarn properties to varying degrees.

Along with aforesaid characteristics, there are some fabric related problems like high hairiness, even with controlled yarn parameters, some fibres have tendency to be more fibrous, like Synthetic fibre; example Viscose, polyester. Once fabrics are made using these fibres even with controlled yarn parameters, high hairiness and pilling problems can be seen later in Garments so solution will be to use  “Lopil Brand” vortex yarn from Lucky Spinning, like this with good understanding, types of fabrics and end Garments requirements, required quality standards, adequate technology can be chosen.
