... the dissolution of the cotton component to optimise the yarn for enhanced performance. Design/methodology/approach Using a Box–Behnken factorial design, 15 yarn samples were prepared and their properties, including unevenness, hairiness, strength, compressibility and packing fraction, were evaluated before...

... to contribute to the literature in vortex spinning where there are limited works related to core-spun vortex spinning. Design/methodology/approach The paper evaluates the effect of core yarn type, sheath sliver type and total yarn count factors on yarn evenness, imperfections, hairiness and tensile...
