Twisting and Amounts of Twist for Different Materials – why is the amount of twist in a yarn important

The roving coming out of the front delivery roller is threaded through the top of the flyer, passes through its hollow leg around the presser arm on to the bobbin. The purpose of providing twist in roving is to give the strand sufficient strength to withstand the strain during unwinding in the creel of the ring frame. The insertion of twist is achieved by the rotation of the flyer.

Drawing, Texturing, Intermingling and Heat setting Process

Man Made Fibre and Man Made Fibre Production - Manufactured (MF) fibers (formerly termed “man-made”) are formed from a suitable raw material as a thick, sticky liquid, which is “spun” or extruded through spinneret holes, forming streams that are solidified into fibers.

Carding Definition

Carding Definition :  Carding Definition: Carding is a mechanical process that disentangles, cleans and intermixes fibers to produce a continuous web or sliver suitable for subsequent processing. Two proverbs of the experts- “Carding is the heart of spinning” and “well carded is half spun” demonstrate the immense significance of carding in the spinning process.  CARDING […]

Speed Frame and function of speed frame

The output from the draw frame is fed into the roving frame (also called ‘speed frame or simplex machine or flyer frame‘) where the linear density of sliver is reduced by drafting and the resultant product is called the roving. After the drafting operation, the roving is wound on the bobbin. During winding, a little amount of twist is imparted to the roving.

Effect of Twist on Yarn and Fabric Properties

The twist in yarns can be caused to affect the properties of the fabric in which the yarns are included.When yarns are incorporated in a fabric such that adjacent sets of yarn vary in the direction of twist, different effects like the shade effect, stripe effect etc. can be produced because of light reflecting from two sets of yarns.
