Abstract
Abstract The objective of this paper is to analyse the correlation between crimp parameters and the effect of crimps on yarn strength and hairiness. Crimp is an essential property for natural and man-made fibres. Crimps always form with different parameters as they are very much irregular in size and shape. So, if the crimps are regular in size and shape, the end products like yarn and fabric properties will improve. Jute is a natural fibre with no natural crimp. In this research work, the gear crimping method was used as a mechanical crimping system to impart a regular size and shape of crimps into jute sliver. As a result, crimp parameters like the crimp length and crimp angle become uniform, and it is then easy to measure them. Results also showed that the crimp length is directly proportional and the crimp angle is reversely proportional to the number of crimps per unit length, and they are highly correlated. It was also shown that crimp and crimp parameters also affect the yarn strength and hairiness. In conclusion, it is revealed that with an increase in the number of crimps, the yarn strength was increased and hairiness was decreased.
