Narrow weaving products, which are created using many different narrow weaving machines and methods, have many different uses. Depending on these uses, the material selection of the product to be produced is very important. Yarn selection should be made according to the area of use. Before addressing the types of yarns used in narrow weaving machines, it will be useful to have brief information about yarns. Various yarns used in narrow weaving machines provide fabric properties such as crimp, pleat, elasticity, stiffness or texture. While these features that the fabric gains make the fabric look rich and aesthetic, they also allow it to be used in more areas.
How are Narrow Woven Products Produced?
While producing narrow weaving products, production is carried out in accordance with the area of use and need, as well as the production of products in different yarn types varies depending on the need. Let’s take a look at “How are Narrow Weaving Products Produced?” The yarns to be used in fabric making can be used raw or dyed depending on the need and usage area. It is decided to prefer raw or dyed yarn in terms of cost, processability and usage area.
While producing narrow woven products, the use of artificial yarns in large quantities and the use of natural yarns, especially cotton, has attracted attention. Cotton has ranked first in terms of health and quality because it does not have an allergic structure. It is frequently preferred because of its superior moisture and sweat absorbency, its resistance to washing, its softness and its naive texture. In addition, the fact that it has a dyeable structure according to need and demand provides an added advantage. Different products can also be produced by combining cotton with different types of yarn such as polypropylene. This blend, which is frequently used in the production of sensitive medical health equipment such as bandages and band-aids, especially in the health and first aid sector, has a wide range of uses. In addition to its use in the entire clothing industry, including underwear and outerwear, it is also used for shoes, bags, home textile products, packaging and decoration purposes.
Among the most important raw material sources of the narrow woven fabric sector are yarns produced from continuous yarns. Many productions such as ribbons, ribbons and labels are realized with these yarns. These products, which are frequently used both in the clothing industry and in areas such as decoration and decoration, are the products that narrow weaving produces the most. The yarn types used in the narrow weaving sector vary according to the intensity of the production made with continuous yarns. Although different materials such as polyester, polyamide, elastomeric, polypropylene are used, the most widely used product is polypropylene.
When the usage area of the products produced according to the yarns used in the production of narrow weaving is examined, it is observed that the yarns with the highest durability are obtained from polyester and polypropylene products with the appropriate low budget. The most important feature to be considered when choosing yarn is that it has an affordable price. In addition to this feature, the quality and easy availability of the yarn has made the use of these two types of yarn widespread. When choosing yarn depending on the intended use;
