| Abstract: | The tensile properties, thickness and weavability (in terms of beat-up tension at weaving) of seven different knots with jute yarns of three different counts have been studied. It is observed that dog knot is the poorest in all respect, although it is extensively used at various stages prior to jute weaving. The overall performance of weaver's knot, used invariably in weaving, is fairly good. Barrel and Fisherman's knots, the latter of SZ and SS variants, are better than dog knot but inferior to weaver's knot. Both the SS and SZ variants of double-harness bend, a new knot yet to be used in textile processing, have been found to have the minimum thickness and very high breaking strength and show superior weavability compared to others. As such, the double-harness bend can be considered to be the most suitable for joining the yarns. No slippage or loss in tail length of any knot has been observed at any stage. |
