5 CONCLUSION

Introduction
As textile industries growing day by day in terms of developing the textile sectors various
researches and developments are taking place to improve the quality of final products as well as
different innovative products to cater specific markets. Quality improvement is not only single
stage process at every stage it should be monitored.
Melange yarn is produced in combination with two or more fibres either of same &/or different
generic nature and colour. These fancy yarns are widely produced in the textile industry & find
their application primarily in the hosiery apparel sector. It also finds application in denim,
upholstery and even in sophisticated fashion fabrics in the garment industry. Though, melange yarn
offers a great variety of shades, but its strength is inferior to normal grey yarn and the loss in
strength increases with increase in the amount of coloured fibre. Much attention is generally paid
to the aesthetics than to the strength of the yarn. However, attainment of minimum strength to
sustain stress during post spinning operation and during use in given importance. The present study
primarily deals with a quantitative analysis of melange yarn produced with varying depth of
coloured fibres, and different blends of fibres using ring and compact spinning systems. The
structural difference of two types of yarns necessitates the study of yarn properties. Effect of
percentage of dyed fibre, spacer size & spinning system on yarn evenness, imperfection, tenacity,
elongation, hairiness and frictional behaviour was studied. The compact yarn exhibited better mass
uniformity, strength & elongation while the hairiness, coefficient of friction are low as compared
to normal ring yarn.

Among the types of fancy yarns, melange yarn is known for its attractive colour and appearance..
Mixing of fibres with different colours could be done either in the blow room at the start of spinning
preparation or by feeding different Sliver to the draw frame(Snow Hether) or by feeding of different
roving on the R/F (Like- Jaspe yarn, Injection slub yarn). The wavy like effect and a wide range of
colour tones due to different colour fibres blending makes it much popular and rich in look.
Melange yarn has unique dyeing process, with different technological know-how as compare to

yarn dyeing or fabric dyeing in terms of fibre dyes, colour matching and mixing of multiple
coloured fibres. Dyeing the fibres before spinning can keep energy saving, emission reduction
and environmental protection. Melange yarn can present multiple colours on one single yarn, which
gives it rich colours, slenderness and tenderness. Textile made of melange yarn has a certain
ambiguous cyclical effect. Studies show that scouring and dyeing process of cotton fibres lead to a
greater entanglement and cohesion among them, decreasing of fibres strength and removal of a
part of the wax present on the surface of cotton fibres. Further mechanical processes on the
fibres lead to fibre damage and decreasing of their length parameter. These variations on fibres
not only affect the efficiency of the spinning process, but also the mechanical and physical
properties of the final yarn and fabric [4-6].
In conventional ring spinning, there is always a triangular bundle of fibres without twist, the so
called spinning triangle, at the exit from the rollers, which represents the most critical part of ring
spinning system. In this zone, the fibres assembly contains no twist. The edge fibres play out from
this zone and make little or no contribution to the yarn properties like tenacity and hairiness [7]. In
compact spinning, the spinning triangle is almost eliminated and almost all fibres are incorporated
into the yarn structure under the same tension. This leads to significant advantage such as
increasing yarn tenacity and reducing yarn hairiness [8, 9].
Fig 1:- The Compacting System [9]
The distance between the top and bottom aprons is determines the intensity of pressure applied to the
fibres to be under control. This distance, which is introduced by means of the special device, is called
spinning spacer. With widened apron spacing, a progressive deterioration in regularity and strength of
yarn was noticed.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS:
Indians were the pioneers in making the mélange yarn for the first time in 1980’s. It may be defined
as “the yarn produced by the combination of at least two or more than two fibers”. Conventionally,
the term mélange is used for such yarns which are produced by the combination of two fibers
(whether of same type but different in color or type of fiber used is different). Furthermore, Mélange
yarn can be classified into two of its very basic types:
I. Blended mélange yarn
II. Non blended mélange yarn
I. Blended Mélange Yarn:
Such type of yarn in which different fibers are mixed/blended together in a certain fixed ratio for
instance PC (Polyester Cotton blend) 50:50, PC 70:30, PV 80:20, CVC 40:60 etc.
II. Non Blended Mélange Yarn:
Yarn in which there are no different fibers blended together, but different colored fibers of same
type are used to make the yarn e.g. 100% cotton dyed yarn, 100% bamboo yarn etc.

I. Preliminaries of the Process:
The production of mélange yarn is similar to the simple (Un‐dyed) yarn, but there are some
additional things that need to be discussed here. Initially, the raw cotton is stored in form of bales
in godowns. These bales after certain time of conditioning are sent to different location of mills
for dyeing. There the bales are opened to flock form and conventionally, disperse dyes, reactive
dyes and VAT dyes are used for fiber dyeing. After this is done, the bales are returned to the at
manufacturing area that is Mixing zone; these bales are again opened, well mixed, conditioned with
a (LOT NUMBER). This number may vary from mill to mill for identification purpose, but this
is important to discuss because we are not sure that we get the same type of dyed fibers ( in terms
of dye ability, dye affinity, rubbing & washing fastness ) of the fibers every time. This may depend
upon the dyeing conditions, dye quality, recipe, process conditions, fiber used (mature/ immature/
dead fiber content). These factors are important to consider because these are some unrevealed
factors that causes very common problems in mélange yarn i.e. rejection of the shade. There comes
the importance of making the LOTS, so that we can easily track from where the error occurs.
However, another technique may be used which is termed as “SAMPLING”. For every new LOT
or new mixing of the running order, a sample should be made and get it cross checked with the
Customer’s sample. In this way we can reduce the chances of error and shade variation can be
limited and predicted in advance, so necessary remedies can be taken.
II. Types Of Blends:
Normally, we speak of types of blends depending upon the percentage of shade (colored fibers) in
the mixing recipe or yarn. So, this classification mainly depends upon the Shade percentage, but it
can also be done deliberately to ease and balance the process.
a) Blow room Blend
b) Drawing Blend

a) Blow Room Blend Shade:
Such shades which are blended through blow room are called “Blow Room blends”. Normally,
darker shades and shades constituents variety of colored fibers are run as blow room blend shades.
Conventionally, shades having percentage more than 15% are run as blow room blends. This is
done to achieve the maximum blending and uniformity in the shade.
It should be clear that by the term “shade” here we only mean the total percentage of colored fibers
in the yarn. For example let us consider a shade SC1BK30 (this code may vary from mill to mill),
it has fiber coding as:
So, in above recipe shade SC1BK30, total percentage regarded as shade is 30.% Means in 100% Cotton
there is 30 % Black fibre.
b) Drawing Blend Shade:
Such shades which are blended on draw frame in form of alteration in doublings are termed as
“Drawing Blends”. Mostly, lighter shades are blended on draw frame, as they are easy to blend
and provide ease in balancing the process. In drawing blends, we can blend having 15% shades.
III. Calculating the Drawing Blend Shades:
Usually, drawing blends are set in accordance with the need to make the process easy and some
how on shade percentage. This can be made clearer by considering the example below. Let us
consider the shade SGL915 (these codes not holds for all mills) having following recipe:
This is the required percentage of shade in the yarn, but this recipe will vary if we make it drawing
blend. Now, this depends upon us, whether in what percentage we need to blend that and adjust the
doublings on the draw frame in accordance with that. This can be easily under stood by following
calculations. Let us say, we want to run it as 2 carded sliver cans of this Blow room blend shade, and
6 carded sliver cans of the cotton. So the actual recipe will shift in this way, and that recipe is to be
made and mixed in blow room.
Mixing cans of carded sliver = 02
White cotton cans of carded sliver = 06
Total doublings = 08 (on one side of draw frame)
Olive – 01 = 2%
White Cotton = 98%

This gives us the blow room recipe as follows:
Olive – 01 = 8%
White cotton = 92%
But the question is how was it done?? There is a simple logic behind that, so let us calculate it. Say,
we are running 65 grams / yard of the sliver on draw frame.
We have, 02 slivers of mixing = 65 * 2 = 130 grams / yard
White cotton 06 slivers = 65 * 6 = 390 grams / yard
Total (grams/yard) = 520 grams / yard
By determining the simple percentage, we have:
Shade % = 130/520 * 8% = 2%
White cotton = 390/520 * 92% = 98%
This 8% was blow room recipe, and 6% additional of olive – 01 fiber was added, which is
reduced here on draw frame and ultimately brought to the 2% which was the required shade in
the yarn. This may be done depending upon the requirement and easing the process, as drawing
blend shades are easy to run as compared to blow room blends. There is only one set back, that
they require an extra passage of drawing for proper blending of shade and attaining uniformity ,
which some how effects the sliver quality and adds cost to extra machinery.
IV. Common Problems In Making Mélange Yarn:
There may be lot of problems occurring in the production process, but we will only highlight such
problems which are in particular related to the mélange yarn. Any of these problem may cause the
rejection of production made, ultimately suffering a major loss. So, in order to get rid of this, we
need to consider some of very basic flaws & focus upon its remedies. These problems are:
a) Shade variation
b) Variation in ratio (esp. in PC/PV/CVC) yarns

c) Spots in the fabric
a) Shade variation:
When ever there is the difference between the colors of two “LOTS” of the same running order,
this is termed as “Shade Variation”. There will be difference in the color of the yarn / knitted
fabric on the whole, which should be removed in order to avoid rejection of LOT.
There is variety of reasons of this variation as far as my knowledge is concerned. Some of them are
listed below:
 Twist variation in the yarn over ring frame (T.M / T.P.I variation)
 Wrong fiber blended / proportion of fiber is not exactly the same
 Moisture content of the yarn
 Count variation
 Dyed fiber variarion against the std.
 Weighment variation of the components
 No Proper blending and toppling done
 Randomisation not followed strictly
 Twist Variation:
There is difference observed in the shade while the same shades are being run on two frames but
with different T.P.I. it reflects like greater the T.P.I will give the darker shade as compared to the
lower T.P.I. T.P.I checking tests should be followed strictly to avoid this sort of problem. A clear
example is stated below for clarification.
SGD – 1616 (30/1 Knitting, Non‐ Compact) SGD – 1616 (30/1 knitting, Non‐ compact)

T.M = 3.75 T.M = 4.1
Fig. Difference in shade due to T.P.I
 Wrong Fiber Blended (Improper Mixing)
The other and very major flaw that is observed is use of improper fiber/ improper ratio of any fiber
leads to change in “TONE” and “DEPTH” of the knitted fabric. The following graph shows the
percentage contributions to shade variations. So, the proper selection and exact ratio is very basic
requirement in order to avoid this major flaw. In order to make this concept clearer, we should be
well defined about the two above cited words.
Sh.Amjad: Please include the points added in Yellow highlights in picture.

We find variety of fiber which is used conventionally in the industry. For example, we consider the
series of fibers.

RING FRAME

Objective:
The spinning process basically consists of three stages:
1. Reduction of thickness of the supplied roving of the required yarn count.
This is usually done by drafting roller with some means of fiber control such
as double apron.
2. The prevention of further fibre slippage by twisting the fibre strand and
hence increasing the intercohesion.
3. Winding onto a package which is convenient for handling and which
protects the yarn.

AUTOCONER
Objective:
1- To producea package with long continuous length of yarn.
2- To producecone or cheese of specific length.
3- To remove weak places, slubs, etc i.e. the yarn should be free from all
types of imperfections.
Precautions to be taken during winding:
1- Quality of splicing should be such that it does not spoil the appearance
and at the same time the strength loss in spliced yarn should be
minimized.

2- Important yarn properties like yarn strength, elongation at break,
appearance should not be deteriorated.
3- Package should not contain winding faults i.e. hairiness and the no. of
naps shold not increase during winding.

8) Time to replace the bobbin 8sec.
9) Cone weight 1.89 kg.
YARN CONDITIONER
Objective:
• To improve yarn quality i.e. hairiness is reduced.
• Strength of yarn is increased.
• Weight of package is increased.
Check point: Cones are checked by using ULTRA VOILET RAY. If in a
trolley a different count yarn cone is remained it will be determined.
Because in UV ray different count yarn give different brightness. Temp.-60
Time-1hr
Number of packages-372

PACKAGING
Cones obtained from the conditioning are sent to the packaging section. There are two types of
packaging-
Neutral packaging: LOGO is not there on the cartoon.
Regular packaging: LOGO is there on the cartoon. Cardboard used for making
cartoons is of 5 ply.
Dimensions of cartoon=750 mm*370 mm*510 mm
Proper care is taken for packing the material export purpose. The packed material
obtained is kept in the go down and transport to its destination afterwards.
Following particulars are put on the packing cartoon-
• 100% combed cotton yarn on cones
• Count
• Excise number
• Lot number
• Cartoon number
• Gross weight
• Net weight
• Cartoon size
• In one cartoon box=24 cones
