The effects of core material parameters on the mechanical properties of double core and single core spun yarns

Comfort and aesthetic appearance are the basic features that consumers expect from their clothes. For improving body movement comfort in apparel, elastic core-spun yarns can be used to produce elasticity of the woven and knitted fabrics. In this study, the effects of elastane linear density on the mechanical properties of double core and single core yarns, spun with different core materials, were investigated. According to statistical evaluations, significant differences were found between yarn properties.
