Efficient Moisture Control

Wool is also vulnerable to dry air, although it is slightly more tolerant and needs humidity levels of approximately 3%. Similarly, man-made fibers necessitate the appropriate, albeit lower, humidity level as they become susceptible to static electricity buildup when the humidity drops below 2-2.5%. Silk, on the other hand, should be handled at a humidity range of 3-4%, while artificial silk spinning requires a higher humidity level of around 4%.

The production of wool, yarn, and textiles involves essential multi-step processes. It is essential to precisely control moisture levels within many of these steps, such as carbonizing and other finishing operations, and the drying operations that follow washing, scouring, and stock dying. Failure to do so may result in product and raw material waste, rework, decreased productivity, and increased production costs. Are you currently measuring wool moisture during the production process?
