fabrics which are composed of the fibres of wool and cotton which
have been blended or scribbled together rather than to fabrics
composed of distinct threads which are all-cotton and all-wool yarns
woven together. A cotton warp and wool weft fabric is a union, not
a mixture. Mixtures may be recognised, when dyed, by a careful
examination of the fibres constituting the yarn. When such fibres
are not of the same colour, it will be found to have been due to
the difference of affinity for the dye between cotton and wool. The
burning test is not close enough. Carbonising is the surest test that
can be applied to determine the presence and percentage of cotton in
any Woollen and Cotton Mixture fabric.
=Woollen Fabric.=--The typical woollen is a full-handling fabric in
which structure and colouring cannot always be defined on account of
the threads and picks, and even the fibres, having become thoroughly
intermingled in passing through the operations of finishing. Strictly
speaking, a woollen fabric should be made of fine wool (possibly
noils included); but in the English Law Courts a definition of
"woollen" fabrics as being composed of mungo, shoddy, cotton, etc.,
has been accepted.
=Woollen Lastings, Craped.=--A fabric similar in the main to a Plain
Lasting, but which, owing either to special process of weaving,
chemical process during finishing, or to the action of suitably
engraved rollers through which the material is made to pass, has a
face finish resembling Crape Cloth, Plain, under which heading will
be found the distinctive characteristics of Crape Cloth.
=Woollen Lastings, Figured.=--Like Cotton Lastings, this fabric is
essentially a plain twill or kindred weave fabric, firmly woven
from hard-twisted yarns. It is woven from strong wool and can be
described as a fine, durable fabric of a somewhat hard handle, but
smooth in appearance and ornamented by the introduction of a figure,
pattern, or design produced either by means of an extra thread or by
combination of warp and weft threads.
=Woollen Lastings, Plain.=--A plain twill or kindred weave fabric
firmly woven from hard-twisted yarns. It is woven from strong wool
and can be described as a fine, durable fabric of a somewhat hard
handle, smooth in appearance, and free from any ornamentation
produced either by weaving or printing. Used extensively in the
manufacture of boot and shoe uppers.
=Woollen Yarn= in appearance possesses a fringe-like covering which
gives it a fuzzy appearance. This is arrived at by using shorter wool
than in the manufacture of worsted yarn and by giving it a twist.
This fuzzy appearance distinguishes it from worsted yarn, which
is a straight yarn in which the component fibres lie smoothly and
parallel to each other. Woollen yarn is particularly suitable for the
manufacture of cloths in which the colourings require to be blended,
the fibres napped, as in Tweed, Cheviot, Doeskin, Broadcloth, Beaver,
Frieze, Chinchilla, Blanket, and Flannel. Woollen yarn may be said
to be a thread in which all the component fibres are entangled into
each other and are in all different directions: this results in a
yarn which is rough in appearance, non-lustrous, and more irregular
than worsted yarn. It is only in this type of yarn that low-grade
materials, such as mungo, shoddy, or extract, can be utilised. The
fibres which constitute a woollen yarn are not as readily separated
from the body of the yarn or cloth as in the case of worsted.
In the case of woollen yarn there are numerous systems for denoting
the count, varying with the locality in which it is spun and the
character of the product. In the United States there are two systems
employed, but the one in most general use is known as the "American
run counts." This is based on the number of "runs," each containing
1,600 yards, to the pound. Thus, a yarn running 8,000 yards to the
pound is called a "5-run" yarn, a yarn with 5,200 yards to the pound
is equal to a "3¼-run." In the vicinity of Philadelphia woollen
yarn is based on the "cut," each cut consisting of 300 yards, and
the count is the number of cuts in a pound. Thus, No. 30 cut yarn
consists of 9,000 yards to the pound. A similar system prevails in
England, where 200 yards go to the "cut," and the number of "cuts"
per pound equals the count. In certain parts of England (Yorkshire)
256 yards go to the hank. The count is also arrived at on the basis
that the number of yards per dram equals the count.
=Worsted Diagonal.=--The name explains itself and is applied to a
worsted cloth having as its chief characteristic a prominent weave
effect running diagonally--from left to right--across the face of the
cloth. Generally in solid colours and finished so as to bring the
weave into prominence.
=Worsted Lastings.=--A smooth, warp-faced, sateen-weave fabric woven
from worsted warp and weft, having a plain-weave effect on the back
of the fabric. Generally piece-dyed black. Worsted Lastings average
30 to 31 inches in width and 29 to 30 yards in length per piece. Met
with in three grades of quality. Average Bradford price for the best
grade was, for the 10 years ended 1914, about 31_s._ 5_d._ per piece.
=Worsted Yarn= is a straight yarn, _i.e._, a yarn produced from
straight fibres; it is invaluable in the production of textile
fabrics in which lustre and uniformity of surface are the chief
characteristics. They enter into the manufacture of Zephyr,
Saxony, Serge, Bunting, Rep, etc. Yarn is measured by a system of
"counts"--the number of yards of yarn to the pound. It is put up
in hanks of 560 yards each, and the number of such hanks that are
necessary to weigh 1 pound determines the count, so that if No.
30 yarn is mentioned, it is a yarn 30 hanks of which, or 16,800
yards, weigh 1 pound. The main characteristic of worsted yarn is
the arrangement of the fibres, which are so arranged that they are
parallel to each other in a longitudinal direction.
The yarn thus produced is a smooth, lustrous, and level yarn, these
qualities being absent in woollen yarn. The fibres which constitute a
worsted yarn are more readily separated from the body of the yarn or
cloth than in the case of a woollen yarn.
=W-Pile.=--This term is used to designate a fast pile and originates
in the form taken by a piece of fast pile when removed from the
fabric. In a fast-pile fabric the pile cannot be driven out through
the back of the fabric by pressure applied to the pile, owing to the
fact that the pile is virtually bound into the material and held in
place by two threads from the top and one from behind. _See_ Pile
Weave.
=Wright's Underwear, Imitation.=--This class of underwear is
essentially a knit cotton underwear made from a combination of
bleached cotton yarn and dyed yarn. The knit fabric is raised on
the inside. The dyed yarn used in the manufacture of this class of
underwear is often of a blue or brown colour.
=Yarn, Cotton, Grey or Bleached.=--In its unqualified form the term
Cotton Yarn is used to describe "single" yarns, and Cotton Yarn, Grey
or Bleached, is understood to be cotton thread and carded yarn, warps
or warp yarns, in singles, whether in bundles, skeins, or cops, not
advanced beyond the condition of singles by grouping or twisting two
or more single yarns together and not advanced beyond the condition
of bleached by dyeing, colouring, printing, gassing, or mercerising.
Cotton yarn is subdivided into three groups,--coarse, medium, and
fine--according to count:--
No. 20's count and under = coarse.
Nos. 21's to 40's = medium.
No. 41's and over = fine.
Cotton yarn is sometimes found as a Mercerised Grey Yarn. The fact
that cotton yarn is in the unbleached state does not necessarily mean
that it has not been advanced beyond that stage; it may be in the
grey and at the same time be mercerised. _See_ "Cabled Yarns" and
"Folded Yarn."
=Yarn-dyed.=--Yarn-dyed goods are made of yarns that are dyed before
being woven or yarns spun from wool that has previously been dyed.
Yarn-dyed may be distinguished from piece-dyed fabrics by unravelling
the threads of each kind. Yarn-dyed fabrics show that the dye-stuff
has penetrated through the yarn, while in the case of piece-dyed
fabrics the dye-stuff has not the same chance of penetrating the yarn
as completely.
=Zephyrs.=--Lightly constructed, coloured, plain-woven cloths, well
finished, in the pure state, principally woven from fine cotton
yarns. There are also silk and cotton woven Zephyrs and woollen
Zephyrs. _See_ Madras.
=Zibeline.=--The French name for Sable, used to designate a dress or
cloaking material having a hairy surface.
