BtKlUUMOTHPrtQPFi GREETINGS — to all ladies ’who are interested economic value of yarn ture! To understand the value of fabrics we must at the beginning and answer a few basic questions. What, example, is .a fiber? To be plicit, a fiber is any basic gredient which often must converted into yarn form before it can be woven, knitted or felt­ ed into a fabric. Wool is our most commonly used animal fiber, while cotton, silk and linen are vegetable fibers. All these, of course, are known as natural or real fibers because they are produced from nature’s own sources. Added to these real fibers, however, we find the man-made products of rayon, nylon aralac and a host of othei' lesser known synthetics. What, then, is a filament? This term is used exclusively for fibers which are produced in a long continuous strand. Pure silk is the only natural fiber which is produced in filament form. The human care and hand-i ling which is given this precious fiber in the reeling process in order to keep the thread in a continuous filament accounts for a high percentage of the ultimate cost of pure silk. The synthetic fibers of rayon and nylon are known as fila­ ments because they can be made in almost endless lengths and in any desired thickness. When a group of these filaments , are combined by a twisting process into a heavier thread, the result is known as a filament yarn. This particular attribute of syn­ thetics is a distinct advantage over pure silk because a heavier cloth can be made. On the other hand, pure silk can also be given a weighting process which re­ sults in better draping qualities. Filaments of pure silk, rayon and nylon are often cut or brok- ’ en into short lengths to the natural fibres of cotton, wool and linen. From this state they are subjected to several opera­ tions and finally spun into con­ tinuous yarn. These products have become known as spun or stable fibers and have a fuzzier appearance than the long , fila­ ment fabrics. Spun silk and spun rayon are good examples of these staple products. Spun silk is merely the short — By NELLEN O’BRIEN — Basic Textile Structure those ends of the cocoon thread which in the the reel er struc- utility begin for ex- in- be must discard before finding the right end of the long | filament. This .product is usually cheaper than long filament silk, but it will wear well and stand up under frequent launderings. Now that we have ported out the type of fibres and filaments we have at our disposal, let us look at some of .the many pro­ cesses of yarn structure. All natural fibers -must be subjected to several processes before they are ready to .be made into yarn. In the case of pure silk, reeling operation takes the single-strand filament from cocoon, then the throwing cess doubles and twists thread into yarn strong enough for weaving. The other natural fibers of wool, cotton .and linen are subjected known as drawing-out, ning.

There are seven grand “lockcd-in” flavours of Jell-O Jelly Powders. the fine the pro- this operatious combing, and spin- an operation which only .partially straightens out the raw fibres. Cotton or woollen fabrics made from carded yarns i' usually retain a slight fuzziness. Combing is an additional pro- I cess which removes the very short fibers and leaves only the long fibres lying in one direction. On cotton and wool this opera­ tion gives a fine smooth effect t0 the finished material. Worsted cloth is a good example of well- combed parallel wool fibers and fine lawn illustrates this pocess on cotton products. .Cotton yarn, however, is often, given another treatment known as mercerizing which leaves the yarn with a good luster. This fiber may also be given an alternate treatment known as gassing in which the yarn is passed over a gas or elec- ric burner in order to singe off the loose hairs. The drawing-out process of carded or combed yarns repeated several times forms them into thin threads which are then passed through spindles where they are twisted .and wound on bobbins ready for weaving. All . these processes attain the same result as combing back a lock of hair with a fine wire comb, put­ ting it through a wringer under pressure, and finally taking each strand and twisting it together with others to form ,a stronger thread. In recent years all this work is done by machinery, con­ sequently very little hand-work and few operators are needed. This then, is the bare outline of processes necessary to convert the raw fiber into usable yarn for weaving. For economy it is always well to remember that the raw fiber and the structure of the yarn have a very direct bearing upon the durability fabric, far more sometimes the actual weaving process.

R, R, Latimer at Cronyn Memorial Church, V,era, daugh­ ter of .Mrs. Walker, Central ave­ nue, London, and the late Enoch Walker, exchanged marriage vows with Lester L.
