The scoured wool stock used in this study was mechanically cleaned and shortened by a carding cleaner machine developed at the SRRC. Wool/cotton and wool/polyester blends of 50/50 ratio were successfully processed into different types of spun yarns. The spinning methods were ring, ring yam with nylon filament wrap, ring yam with nylon filament core, Sirospun, Sirospun with nylon filament wrap, Sirospun with nylon filament core, Coverspun, Coverspun with nylon core, worsted, and friction (DREF-3) spinning. Mechanical processing procedures of the blends are outlined and discussed. Pertinent yam properties are also presented and compared. We conclude that the Coverspun technique produces the highest quality yarn, followed by ring, worsted, and friction spinning.
