Crimp in Yarn and Fabric
Crimp: When warp and weft yarn interlace in fabric they follow a wavy path.
According to pierce “crimp”, geometrically considered is the percentage excess of length of the yarn axis over the cloth length.
Crimp%: Crimp percentage is defined as the mean difference between the straightened thread length and the distance between the ends of the thread while in cloth which is expressed as a percentage. Mathematically,
Crimp %
Where,
l= Length of yarn before weaving
P= Length or extent of yarn in fabric after weaving
Crimp amplitude: In cloth geometry, the term crimp amplitude is used.
Crimp amplitude refers to the extent to which threads are defected from the central place of the cloth.
Take up%: Take up % or crimp rigidity is a measure of the ability of a textured yarn to recover from stretch. It is related to the bulking properties of yarn.
The difference between lengths of yarn in the fabric
