YARN SLIPPAGE [3 records]

Record 1 2017-08-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Textile Weaving (Textile Industries)
DEF

Weave in which the warp yarns are arranged in pairs with one twisted around the other between picks of filling yarn as in marquisette. This type of weave gives firmness and strength to an open-weave fabric and prevents slippage and displacement of warp and filling yarns.

Record 2 2015-12-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Thread Spinning (Textiles)
DEF

The unwanted movement of yarns in a woven fabric due to the warp and weft yarns slipping over each other.

OBS

Yarn slippage may occur during garment manufacture, or in garment components during wear, as a result of excessive stress or abrasion. Yarns in a fabric have a greater or lesser tendency to slip depending on factors such as yarn type, weave, ends ands and picks per unit length, fabric weight, and the type of finishing process.

OBS

There are two major types of seam slippage : 1) When stress is applied to a seam, the yarns in the fabric slip out of the stitching causing an open seam; and 2) When stress is applied to a seam, the yarns in the fabric shift of slide in the weave construction causing seam grinning and fabric distortion. We will refer to the first type as "seam slippage" and the second as "yarn slippage".

Record 3 2015-12-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Textile Industries
DEF

The slippage of yarns in the fabric along a seam when stress is applied.

OBS

There are two major types of seam slippage : 1) When stress is applied to a seam, the yarns in the fabric slip out of the stitching causing an open seam; and 2) When stress is applied to a seam, the yarns in the fabric shift of slide in the weave construction causing seam grinning and fabric distortion. We will refer to the first type as "seam slippage" and the second as "yarn slippage".

OBS

Seam slippage is usually caused by poor fabric design (too loose of a weave) or too narrow of a seam margin. Not using enough stitches per inch and a poor stitch balance can also contribute to seam slippage.
