Some Experiments

Sparkle Blue Yarn

Full Scale Photo & ------------------------------------- Microscopic Photo

This yarn is purple roving and plastic sparkle strips there is no conductivity or other function, it's just pretty!

Info:
2 ply
2 turns per inch to 4-5 turns per inch
No Conductivity

Aluminum Yarn_Surprise Conductive_Non Conductive Yarn

This yarn was made with aluminum "roving" or shavings, that were as light and had almost the same staple lenght as wool roving. This yarn is somtimes conductive and sometimes not. If it is pulled tight you can get conductivity, otherwise if it is measured while limp, there is an incosistent conductivity.

Info:// 2 Ply
Twist is Counterclockwise
6-7 turns per inch
The whole 13" piece of yarn measured 5 M Ohms when pulled tight.

Sisal Twist with Aluminum and Copper Metals

Attach:file.ext Δ

Was not sure what to expect with this yarn. It has copper and aluminum "roving" feathered into it, but not continuously so this means the yarn is highly conductive where there are clumps of metal and not at all where there are few to no fibers of metals.

Info:
1 Ply
2 twists per inch
Twist is Counterclockwise The conductivity is highly irregular. Meter jumps up and down when you try to measure.

Flax and Steel Conductive Thread _A Conductive Yarn

Attach:file.ext Δ

This yarn is made of two thin threads spun together one flax and the other conductive steel coated thread. The conductivity of the thread is preserved here because the conductive thread winds around the outside of the flax thread. Info:

4 Ply yarn
Final Twist is Counterclockwise
18 - 25 Turns per Inch
The whole 10" piece of yarn had 9.2MOhms

Blue Wool, Flax and Conductive Thread_Insulating Yarn

Attach:file.ext Δ

This yarn is made of three kinds of threads, wool roving, yellow flax thread and steel conductive threads. This was actually easier to spin than just plain roving because the threads tended to guide and controll the shape of the roving while spinning. The conductive thread is wrapped inside the wool, so the wool acts as an insulator to the conductige thread.

Info:
2 Ply yarn
Twist is Counterclockwise
4-5 turns/inch
No Ohms measured outside

Yarn Assignment

Due: Wednesday, March 10, 2010

For this assignment you will make a yarn that consists of two or more different materials. You should make at least 2 yards of yarn.

Create a page that documents your project and add your project link to this page. Your page should contain pictures, including one or more microscopic close-ups and one or more regular photos of the yarn. The USB microscope will be attached to the mac computer in the HLT lab. Write a paragraph or two describing how your yarn was made and justifying your choice of materials. Measure and report the following properties (if they are relevant for your yarn):

diameter (micrometers)
total length (meters or yards)
fiber length (millimeters)
twist (turns per inch)
conductivity (ohms per centimeter or ohms per inch)
Bring your yarn to class on the 10th for demos!
