Spinning / Methods of Yarn preparation

The process of making yarns from fibers is called Spinning. There are several methods of Spinning : Such as

1. For Staple Yarn.
• Ring Spinning 
• Open end / Rotor Spinning
• Friction Spinning.
• Self twist Spinning
• Electrostatic Spinning
• Vortex Spinning
• Air-Jet Spinning
• Twist-less Spinning.
2. For Filament Yarn.
• Wet Spinning
• Dry Spinning
• Melt Spinning
• Bi-Component Spinning
• Film Splitting.
3. For Integrated Multi-Component Yarns:
• Integrated Composite Spinning
• Cover spun.
• Selfil Yarn Spinning
• Aero-dynamic Spinning.

Yarn Preparation

Yarn is made from fibers. Primitive people discovered that a succession of short fibers could be twisted into a continuous yarn. The direction of the twist may be observed by holding the yarn in a vertical position.

  

If the spirals conform to the direction of the slope of the central part of the letter 'S' the yarn has an S twist.

If the spirals conform to the direction of the slope of the central part of the letter 'Z' the yarn has Z twist.
