Dr Roy continued to say, “Development of novel filaments in Japan in the late eighties caught the attention of fancy yarn manufacturers in the beginning of nineties and led to multiple/multi-size slub yarns, thick and thin yarns, multi-count/multi-twist yarns, which have dominated the denim fabric development business in the last decade. Jeans in recent decades have overshadowed the developments in denims through its various wet and dry finishing washing techniques”.
“But, never the less, as mentioned a series of novel yarns used in newer ways in fabrics and finally newer castes, de-sizing , mercerizing, over-dyeing and more and more use of sulphur dyes and innovative coating techniques, etc have been keeping the denim fabric development flag flying high and additionally, application of natural fibres like Flax (Linen), Hemp, Ramie, Bamboo, etc and man-made natural fibres and newer man-made fibres and filaments would play important roles in the R&D of denims and it is high time that the denim and jeans industry experience a major breakthrough”, he concluded by saying.
