Performance Properties of Terry Towels Made from Open-end and Ring-spun Yarns
/' There is no difference in the water absorption rate of ring-spun and open-end (OE) terry towels but the maximum absorption for OE towels is better than for-ring-spun towels at lower fabric density and for comparable fabric weight. Higher pile length and fabric weight favour greater water absorption but only high pile density increases the water absorption rate. The abrasion resistance of ring towels is better than that of OE towels in both dry and wet states. The abrasion resistance of fabrics is significantly lowered on wetting. Longer pile length and moderate pile density contribute to imparting maximum abrasion resistance. .»
Open End Spinning
In an open-end spinning process wherein staple fibers are continuously fed to an air vortex and wherein a yarn tail extends into the vortex whereby the fibers affix themselves to and lengthen the tail, the yarn tail is driven at a faster revolution rate than the tail would be driven by the vortex alone by means of a rotary driven member.
