Effect of Chenille Yarn Parameters on Yarn Shrinkage Behavior

Abstract

The effects of chenille yarn properties—pile material type, pile length, and twist level—on the boiling shrinkage behavior of chenille yarns are examined in this study. Different chenille yarns are produced on a chenille machine using a range of pile material types, twist levels, and pile lengths. Nm 4 and Nm 6 count chenille yarns are produced from different pile materials of viscose, acrylic (0.9 dtex), acrylic (1.3 dtex), combed cotton, carded cotton, and open-end cotton, in two different pile lengths of 0.7 and 1.0 mm and two different twist levels of 700 and 850 T/m. The results indicate that pile material types, pile lengths, and twist levels have significant effects on the boiling shrinkage of chenille yarns.
