Author:Den Heijer, ZMM; Swanepoel, OADate:1967Consumer surveys carried out in Europe have placed renewed emphasis on the desirability of having available on the market pure wool hand knitting yarns which would be suitable for washing in household machines.Read more
Author:Shiloh, M; Hanekom, EC; Slinger, RIDate:Feb 1972Fabrics having widely differing physical properties can be obtained by intimately blending fibres having disparate mechanical properties.Read more
Author:Smuts, S; Hunter, L; Frazer, WDate:Feb 1983A photoelectric device (called a Medullameter), which provides a measure of the amount of light scattered at the fiber/medulla interface of all medullated fibers in a sample, and therefore of the degree of medullation, was built at SAWTRI ...Read more
Author:Gee, EDate:Apr 1983By quantifying the non-symmetrical distribution of fibre diameter and length of different wool lots, it has been shown that the measures of the mode, skewness and kurtosis can play a significant role in the spinning performance of yarns and ...Read more
Author:Gee, EDate:Aug 1976Estimates for the South African merino wool clip of the within bale and between bale variations of yields and of diameter have been made from cores taken by Model T coring machines for wools sold through three ports.Read more
Author:Gee, E; Robie, GJDate:Nov 1973Sixteen types of wool (Spinners, Top makers, etc.) represented by 264 bales were cored and measured for clean wool content and fibre diameter.Read more
Author:Van Rensburg, NJJDate:Jun 1974All cotton, polyester and cotton/polyester blended fabrics containing 80, 60 and 40 percent cotton were treated with trisphosphate or titanium tetrachloride/antimony oxide.Read more
Author:Cilliers, WCDate:Jun 1968Lambswool is reputed to process certain distinctive properties, which makes it especially suited for selected end uses.Read more
Author:Galuszynski, S; Robinson, GADate:Dec 1987The making up of five commercial mohair worsted suiting fabrics was investigated in terms of dimensional stability, bond peel strength, seam slippage, seam pucker, sewability and fraying.Read more
Author:Wolfaardt, C; Buys, JGDate:Aug 1971A technique for manufacturing double-jersey fabrics containing low percentages of a synthetic component, is proposed.Read more
Author:Gee, E; Turpie, DWF; Strydom, MADate:1981Actual fibre losses sustained during pilot scale processing of 57 lots of short wools and out-sorts, as well as yields of top and noil, were measured.Read more
Author:Turpie, DWFDate:Jun 1974Hand-blended lots of scoured 6/7 months Spinners wool and mechanically opened Acala 442 cotton lint were successfully carded, gilled and combed on the worsted system.Read more

Author:Van der Merwe, JPDate:Feb 1986Sixty-eight wool blends were processed on the woollen system and were assessed for spinnability by means of a Mean Spindle Speed at Break test. Spinnability improved as mean fibre length increased but deteriorated as mean fibre length increased ...Read more
Author:Van der Merwe, JPDate:Apr 1986The effect of fibre diameter, length and resistance to compression on woollen carding performance was investigated.Read more
Author:Ellis, R; Robinson, GA; Marsland, SGDate:Jan 1977Relatively fine wrapped core-spun mohair yarns were produced on the Repco spinner and uptwisted with very few turns per metre to retain the natural lustre of the mohair fibres.Read more
Author:Shiloh, M; Kruger, PJ; Slinger, RIDate:Oct 1972Mechanical properties of fabrics from wool and multi-filament nylon core yarns were measured and compared with other fabrics.Read more
Author:Garner, E; Barkenhuysen, FADate:Dec 1984The bleaching of cotton fabrics with radio frequency (RF) energy was investigated and compared with conventional pad-steam bleaching.Read more
Author:Turpie, DWF; Cizek, JDate:Sep 1987One of the unique features of the SAWTRI Length/Strength Tester for raw wool staples is that it provides automatic measurement of the staple profile in addition to data on staple length and strength.Read more
Author:Swanepoel, OA; Van Rooyen, ADate:Nov 1969The loss of weight wool shockproof with DCCA is dyed was investigated and methods of reducing this loss by introducing cross linkages into the protein were examined.Read more
