This study investigates the characteristics and applications of regenerated bamboo fibre yarns in the textile industry.

Abstract

This article presents general characteristics and current applications of regenerated bamboo fibre in the textile industry. In the experimental part of the study, 100% regenerated bamboo yarns of six different counts (11.8, 14.8, 16.4, 19.7, 24.6 and 29.5 tex) were produced from bamboo fibre using ring yarn spinning technology. Subsequently, the physical parameters of related yarns produced in spinning mill conditions were tested, and the results were evaluated according to the parameters of 100% viscose rayon, as well as 100% carded and combed ring spun yarn in Uster statistics. In this way, the aim was to state the strength and weakness of bamboo fibre and to predict its future in the textile industry.
