Feather yarn is a fancy yarn that has emerged in the domestic market in the past three or four years. It is also called eyelash yarn, dog hair yarn, pine yarn, long tail yarn, etc.
Feather yarns are mostly knitted by crochet machines, and their raw materials can be made of 100% nylon or 100% polyester or polyester-nylon blends or woolen, etc. constitute.
The structure consists of core wires and decorative wires, and the feathers are arranged in a certain direction. Its technology mainly consists of knitting and cut velvet, that is, “one needle, one knife”.
The core thread and the middle section formed by single needle knitting are held by the core thread, and the two ends are cut by a cutter to form a hairy yarn of a certain length. The feather length naturally stands upright. Good gloss and soft touch.
Due to the directional distribution of hairiness, the woven fabric has a soft luster and a plump surface, which has a great decorative effect, and the feather yarn is superior to Other plush yarns are characterized by not shedding easily. It has good wearability and strong warmth retention, so it should be widely used on clothes, hats, scarves, socks and gloves.
It should be noted that because feather yarn is mainly made of nylon and viscose raw materials, nylon is dyed quickly and is not easy to dye evenly, so it needs to be heated slowly and used slowly. Dye.
Different companies have different dyeing properties of different batch numbers. Raw materials of different batch numbers are used separately and packaged separately during production.
The heat preservation time should not be too long, otherwise the elasticity and strength of the yarn will decrease. 4) The drying time and temperature are also reasonably controlled according to the characteristics of the fiber.
Moreover, when weaving feather yarns, the hairs are inclined at a certain angle along the yarn strips. When weaving and warping, attention should be paid to the direction of the hairs. If multiple batches of yarn are mixed and weaved, they should be even. Use alternately, it is best to use multiple rapier machines to feed. To prevent rung and stripe defects.
The twist pattern should be large and the frame length should be long to prepare for subsequent deburring, otherwise the delinting will not come out and the loss will be serious. The skein must be less than 0.25kg, otherwise the nylon will be spent. When rewinding in the later stage, pay attention to the issue of rewinding and smoothing the hair, and the direction of the hairiness should be consistent.
Dyeed feather yarn cannot be dried too much in a baking machine. If it is dried, problems such as loose hair, color difference, and poor feel will occur.
In addition, you also need to know that the raw materials for making feather yarn need to be steamed and set at a constant temperature beforehand, otherwise the hair will curl and the color will fade.
