The present disclosure provides composite yarn, apparatus and methods preparing thereof. The composite yarn of the present disclosure includes wrapping fibers and a central yarn that is formed by a first body yarn and a second body yarn, wherein a portion of the wrapping fibers are combined with the central yarn in at least one of the following states: a first state, a portion of the wrapping fibers wrap around the first body yarn or the second body yarn; a second state, a portion of the wrapping fibers wrap around the first body yarn and the second body yarn respectively at the same time; a third state, a portion of the wrapping fibers wrap around the central yarn. The composite yarn of the present disclosure has low twist factor and high strength, which solves the problem of severe strength loss associated with low twist factors existing in conventional low-twist techniques.

A core yarn including at least one core part. The at least one core part includes at least one elastane thread having a plurality of areas with different densities and/or, the at least one core part includes at least one filament thread having a plurality of areas with different densities and are made of regenerated or synthetic materials.

A fire resistant core-spun yarn that comprises a unitary core having a blend of a filament fiber and non-filament fibers, and a sheath containing one or more staple fibers that substantially encapsulates the unitary core; and flame barrier substrates and articles made therefrom.

The invention discloses a multi-component elastic yarn comprises two fiber rovings and two core filaments, wherein each core filaments is elastic, low-elastic or inelastic filaments or any combination thereof. The invention also discloses preparation method and apparatus. The multi-component elastic yarn of the present invention is featured by smooth surface, low hairiness, fiber does not falling off easily, high strength and good wearing resistance. The textile fabrics made from the present yarn have a smooth surface, low hairiness, good wearing resistance, high tensile and tear strength, soft and smooth hand feeling and high elastic recovery rate. The apparatus of the present invention has strong applicability, is easy to maintain and high cost-effective.

Knitted fabric is produced with a knitting machine and a roving drawing and strengthening unit. A roving supply unit provides a roving and an auxiliary thread supply unit provides an auxiliary thread. A stretching unit receives the roving and the auxiliary thread. A spinning nozzle following the stretching unit in a roving conveying direction forms a fiber strengthening segment by applying compressed air and an end thread gripping roller pair rotatable in opposite directions provided downstream from the spinning nozzle device in the roving conveying direction delimiting the fiber strengthening segment. A soft knitted fabric is formed by guiding an auxiliary thread through an auxiliary thread gripping roller pair with an adjustable rotational speed before the roving and auxiliary thread enter the stretching unit. The gripping roller pair holds the auxiliary thread so that the auxiliary thread is subjected to tension of no more than 2 cN.

A filamentary core (3) for an elastic composite yarn (1), particularly for an elastic textile composite yarn, comprising at least two elastic performance filaments (11, 13), each of the at least two elastic performance filaments capable of being stretched at least about 2 times its package length and having at least 90% up to 100% elastic recovery after having being released from a stretching 2 times its package length.

A ring composite spinning method based on film filamentization is provided, which belongs to a textile technical field. According to the method, a film cutting drafting device is arranged above each drafting system on a ring spinning machine for cutting film material into ribbon-shaped multi-filaments to achieve the film filamentization, which changes a conventional formation of filament through linear spraying by spinneret orifices; then the multi-filaments formed pass through first and second filament drafting zones in sequence for drawing, so as to enhance and attenuate the multi-filaments. After in drawing, the multi-filaments are twisted with conventional staple fibers to form a composite yarn with high quality and functions, achieving one-step production of composite yarns of nano-micro fibers without online combination of nanofibers spinning and ring staple spinning, thereby breaking restriction of low bulk and low-speed production of nano-spun fibers and integrating film industry with textile industry.

A fire resistant core-spun yarn that comprises a unitary core having a blend of a filament fiber and non-filament fibers, and a sheath containing one or more staple fibers that substantially encapsulates the unitary core; and flame barrier substrates and articles made therefrom.
