Abstract
Methods for making yarns are provided which include the steps of supplying continuous polymer filaments, detaching from at least a part of the continuous polymer filaments, and at least one continuous reinforcement filament, a plurality of discontinuous polymer fibers and of discontinuous reinforcement fibers to obtain a composite sliver, and twisting the composite sliver to obtain a roving from which yarn may be obtained. Yarns produced by such methods as well as textiles, fabrics and garments which include such yarns are also provided. Such yarns may be particularly useful in the production of, for example, protective gloves.
Claims13
A method for obtaining yarn comprising the steps of:
- supplying continuous polymer filaments in a feeding direction;
- feeding at least one continuous reinforcement filament, alongside said polymer filaments, wherein the at least one continuous reinforcement filament has a linear density in the range of about 2-25 dtex;
- detaching from at least a part of the continuous polymer filaments and the at least one continuous reinforcement filament a plurality of discontinuous polymer fibers and a plurality of discontinuous reinforcement fibers to obtain a composite sliver;
- twisting the composite sliver to obtain a roving;
- and
- forming yarn from said roving.
