Abstract:
The waxing of all-wool worsted yarns has been investigated by applying four wax products to two-ply and single warps and then measuring the yarn properties and weaving performances. The results show that yarn friction (SAWTRI friction tester) was generally slightly reduced by waxing while yarn breaking strength remained unaffected. Three of the waxes had a significant effect on the warp breakage rate, reducing breakages attributed to both knot failure and yarn breakage. The fourth wax product performed less satisfactorily in the case of the two-ply warps but slightly reduced the warp breakage rate for the single yarns.
