Objectives
The aim of the course is to explore the different types of yarns and their production processes.
After completing the course, the student is able to
• define the basic terminology and classify yarn types and structures
• describe spun (short-staple and long-staple) and filament yarn production processes
• describe the properties of different spun and filament yarns
• convert yarn count systems
• evaluate sustainability and circular economy aspects related to yarns and yarn manufacturing
• use the yarn testing equipment and write a technical report
