The Development of Fancy Yarn from Banana and Cotton Fiber Blend

Abstract

The research of development Fancy yarn from Banana fiber and cotton fiber blend was conducted to seek Ratio of Banana fiber and cotton fiber for making sliver by ROLLER CARD. It was found that blending banana fiber and cotton fiber at 20: 30, 30: 40, 40: 60 and 50: 50 was able to be spun as sliver. Due to the quantity of Banana fiber, there were quantity of yarn less than or equal with cotton fiber it made both fibers cling together. In the parts of the suitable sliver laying direction to contain to the GAREBO YARN TUBE was found that the suitable laying direction to contain into the GAREBO YARN TUBE could make sliver easily draw and continue spinning yarn. About Ratio and weight of sliver in GAREBO YARN TUBE that was affect to Fancy yarn spinning as SLUB YARN was found that the qualification of thread for seeking yarn twist, yarn strength and Elongation (Percentage) of Banana Fiber : cotton Fiber 20:80 was found that the weight of Sliver 20 grams have yarn twist (turn/inches) mean 10.8 (newton) of sliver 40 grams mean 6.27 and Elongation (Percentage) of sliver 30 grams mean 4.45. Banana Fiber : cotton Fiber 30:70 was found that the weight of Sliver 30 grams have yarn twist (turn/inches) mean 10.9 (newton) of sliver 30 grams mean 7.68 and Elongation (Percentage) of sliver 30 grams mean 4.93. Banana Fiber : cotton Fiber 40:60 was found that the weight of Sliver 40 grams have yarn twist (turn/inches) mean 10.5 (newton) of sliver 20 grams mean 6.20 and Elongation (Percentage) of sliver 40 grams mean 4.76. Banana Fiber : cotton Fiber 50:50 was found that the weight of Sliver 20 and 40 grams have yarn twist (turn/inches) mean 10.9 (newton) of sliver 30 grams mean 6.07 and Elongation (Percentage) of sliver 20 grams mean 5.09. Banana Fiber : cotton Fiber 60:40 was found that the weight of Sliver 20 grams have yarn twist (turn/inches) mean 11.2 (newton) of sliver 40 grams mean 5.34 and Elongation (Percentage) of sliver 40 grams mean 4.57.
