Organic Pillows: Orgasmic Hug!

Last time, I wrote on cotton pillows as a superior product, but not have been exploited by the marketers.

Interestingly, since then "Organic has become Orgasmic".

Organic cotton combed sliver with its yellow cheesy look is the ideal filling into the pillow.

Whatever said, pillow is the must Hugged Product in the life time of a human being. The Hug has to be as natural and fetish as possible.

Polyester pillow hugging is like hugging petroleum jelly. Organic cotton pillow hugging is like hugging your little lively pet.

 Organic combed cotton pillows with its high moisture regain also give liveliness to the pillow .As in the air conditioned environment  the pillows will absorb all the moisture  and keep a body of the pillow.

Further, it improves not only the quality of the sleep. But also enhances the dreams network as rather then the heat from the polyester pillows, you will now get the cool out of the cotton pillows. Technically, this should keep the head light and lose. Therefore, in place of fights and arguments in dreams, now you will have love and leisure in dreams.

Dakimakura is a Japanese word for "Hug Pillows"  Used mostly by the youth as a security object.
( God alone knows, what it means, but that is what wiki says ) More of a Love Pillow with embedded pictures.

I was watching an Australian TV program last week. Wherein an ingenious marketer had put the expiry date of the pillow on it. " This pillow is due for change in Aug 2013" Wow, concept. Now the product continuously reminds you about the next purchase. ( More applicable for  Dakimakura where, the expiry date will be much shorter. Who wants to sleep with the same picture for long , when the next one is only a click away) Enjoy your pillows anyway.

Last year, much against the protest of my family, I threw away all the polyester pillows out of my house. Infact, I gave one to my little dog "Tuk Tuki" and she also refused to sit on it. Huh! I wonder, why the stuffed toys are still polyester or viscose stuffing's and not organic cotton stuffing's.

Next time, you get a bad dream. Look at your pillow again.

Imaging Technology :End of Uster And Classimat Testing

The end of Uster, classimat testing and other other such numeral values to the evenness of the yarn is not so far.

All it would take is a Hand Phone to image out the yarn and the first visual will directly compare against the good yarn visual. The faults will now be visible faults and not a simple number.

The Imaging Technology can now see through the structure of the yarn and give a graphical display of   the evenness of the yarn.

Yarns will then be classified as Class I, Class II and Class III spinning , depending upon the visual co-ordinates of the image. The image analyzer will further classify for a given length, the axis parrellization   , the nodes and the troughs.

The Yarn Hairiness will now become the most central quality parameter, as this will show up distinctly


The new online test results will not have thin places and thick places or neps, but the Delta value of the width of yarn in Mu values, which is above and below the mean value of the yarn. The evenness will then be a percentage value of say 95% even and 5% uneven. Rated as Class I yarns.

For one time, the big machine makers should feel happy that now visually their machine performance can clearly demonstrate the improvement in yarn quality . The spinner will also feel happy that he can  clearly compete against other spinners on visual delight.

The imaging cameras will be installed right after the fault clearer. 

Of course, one can program the system to stop the machine, if consistently the set parameters get exceeded to ensure that only Class I yarns get made.

In case of yarns for dyeing, one will be able to visualize the porosity of the yarn, the depth of the color and the uniformity of the color.

The fluid imaging technology is already there and this can be exploited now to reuse the dye-bath by uploading the dyes to the desired level and adding the auxiliaries and running the same liquor again for the next batch and so on.  This can save millions of dollars to the dye house and of course huge eco saving. However, by its own self  I don't think dye house have the intelligence to understand all these new technologies, till someone offers a plug in system.
