The present invention relates to a bast fibre yarn obtained through spinning bast fibres, and a process of making thereof, in particular, relates to a bast fibre yarn obtained through twice health-preserving bast fibres and blended spinning bast fibres and other fibres, together with a process of making thereof.
Bast fabrics have gained more and more popularity with people, as they are low electrostatic and have the antibacterial speciality and great absorbency. However, bast fibre, especially jute fibres include great amount of lignin, is more rigid and brittle than cotton fibres. Generally, bast fibres need to be humidified for health preservating before spun by existing technology, wherein, health preservating refers to put bast fibres in a certain temperature and humidity environment for a certain period of time. Health preservating can improve the flexibility of bast fibres. However, because of the loss of water during processing, bast fibres will become dry and easily broken. For instance, in the art of blended spinning bast fibres and other fibres, when the yarn is 12 s in thinness, the end breakage rate may reach up to 300-400 times per hour for each machine averagely, which greatly raises the difficulty of bast fibres spinning, thereby reducing work efficiency and quality of products.
