Abstract

Ring spun and Rotor spun yarns are the commercially used spinning systems for the manufacture of yarns meant for denim fabrics. In weaving of denim fabrics ring spun yarns are generally used as warp yarns and rotor spun yarns are used as filling yarns. Alternatively, rotor spun yarns can also be used in both warp and weft directions in weaving. Depending upon the fashion requirements, the rotor spun yarns have occupied 70% of the total yarn volume. The denim fabrics are manufactured in various varieties which differs in terms of color, raw material, finishing treatment, GSM of the fabric and other parameters. Rotor spinning method is a commercial successful in producing cotton yarns which was earlier produced by ring spinning system in the coarser counts due to its higher productivity by three to four times, less imperfection values by 15% to 20%, fewer end breaks by 70% and the yarn faults by 80% than its counterpart ring spun yarns. In order to manufacture a regular, well defined fabric structure in both warp and weft directions in denim fabric with low level of irregularities and imperfections, rotor spun yarns fare better than the ring spun yarns. Rotor spun yarns offer considerable flexibility in the selection of raw material and the fiber lengths from 10mm to 60mm can be processed successfully both in natural and man-made fibers and in blends.
