Yarn Engineering
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.

Tensile properties of Textile Fibers
When an external force is applied to a fiber, it is balanced by the internal force development in the molecular structure of the fiber. By increasing the stresses, material will deform and follow the load-elongation/stress –strain curve.
