  2. Staple (textiles) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staple_(textiles)

    A staple fiber is a textile fiber of discrete length. The opposite is a filament fiber, which comes in continuous lengths. Staple length is a characteristic fiber length of a sample of staple fibers. It is an essential criterion in yarn spinning, and aids in cohesion and twisting. Compared to synthetic fibers, natural fibers tend to have ...

  3. Staple (wool) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staple_(wool)

    The staple length of the wool is the length of the staple, and highly correlated with mean fibre length in the top (hauteur). Staple length generally determines the end use of wool, that is, whether it will be used in weaving or knitting. The longer wools, generally around 51 mm and longer and called combing types, are processed to worsted yarn

  4. Knitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knitting

    The fibers making up a yarn may be continuous filament fibers such as silk and many synthetics, or they may be staples (fibers of an average length, typically a few inches); naturally filament fibers are sometimes cut up into staples before spinning. The strength of the spun yarn against breaking is determined by the amount of twist, the length ...

  5. Acrylic fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylic_fiber

    It is manufactured as a filament, then cut into short staple lengths similar to wool hairs, and spun into yarn. Modacrylic is a modified acrylic fiber that contains at least 35% and at most 85% acrylonitrile. Vinylidene chloride or vinyl bromide used in modacrylic give the fiber flame retardant properties. End-uses of modacrylic include faux ...

  6. Heatsetting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heatsetting

    At the winding, twisting, weaving, tufting and knitting processes, the increased tendency to torquing can cause difficulties in processing the yarn. When using heat setting for carpet yarns , desirable results include not only the diminishing of torquing but also the stabilization or fixing of the fiber thread.

  7. Rayon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayon

    Filament rayon yarns vary from 80 to 980 filaments per yarn and vary in size from 40 to 5000 denier. Staple fibers range from 1.5 to 15 denier and are mechanically or chemically crimped. Rayon fibers are naturally very bright, but the addition of delustering pigments cuts down on this natural brightness.

  8. Yarn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarn

    Synthetic fibers come in three basic forms: staple, tow, and filament. Staple is cut fibers, generally sold in lengths up to 120 mm. Tow is a continuous "rope" of fibers consisting of many filaments loosely joined side-to-side. Filament is a continuous strand consisting of anything from one filament to many.

  9. Tow (fibre) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tow_(fibre)

    In the artificial fibre and composites industries, a tow is an untwisted bundle of continuous filaments, in particular of acrylic, carbon fibres, or viscose rayon.Tows are designated either by their total tex (mass in grams per 1000 m length) [3] or by the number of fibres they contain.
