    Elongation and elasticity are important properties of yarn that influence weaving efficiency. Elongation is the amount a yarn stretches before breaking, expressed as a percentage of its original length. Elasticity allows a yarn to return close to its original length after stretching tension is removed. Both properties are affected by humidity, moisture content in the yarn and weave room, and the amount of stretch in the fibers and sizing materials. An optimal humidity range of around 80-85% relative humidity generally maximizes yarn strength and efficiency for cotton yarns, while rayon may perform best when drier.

    based formulation, is caused by overdrying or baking on the slasher

    Elongation and Elasticity. These two properties of yarn are often
    confused and misunderstood by even good slasher men. To define
    the difference:
    Elongation is the amount of stretch the yarn will undergo before
    it breaks. This is generally expressed as a percentage of its length.
    For example 36 inches of yarn, under just enough tension to keep
    it straight, which stretches to 37.8 inches before breaking, would
    have 5 % elongation (1. 8 divided by 36).
    Elasticity on the other hand is that property of the yarn which
    allows it to return almost to its original length after the stretching
    tension is released. Many of the same factors in the slashing process
    contri bu te to both elongation and elasticity.
    Humidity, or the amount of moisture in the yarn, greatly influences
    both elongation and elasticity. This also holds true for the amount
    of moisture or relative humidity in the weave room. Up to a point,
    the strength and elongation of cotton yarns increase as humidity
    rises. However, excessively high humidity (about 88%) do es not
