Abstract

Siro yarns are spun from two separate roving of same type of materials. Similarly in textile arts,
folding is a process used to create a strong and balance yarn by putting together two separate yarns. Hence,
this research study was carried to analyse the quality of Siro-spun and two fold yarns under the influence
of twist factor with special reference to their tensile properties. The results disclosed better tensile properties
of yarn made from Siro spinning technique as compared to two plied yarn. This indicates the supremacy
of Siro-spun yarn over two fold yarn. These findings enhance the fact that Siro spinning technique produces
better quality yarn as compared to conventional ring spinning technique.
