// Textile Spinning

Yarn spinning is a process of making or converting fiber materials into yarns. A Yarn is usually of substantial length & of a small cross-section. In the cross-section of yarn, there are usually multiple numbers of Staple fibers (short fibers) or Filaments (long fibers) of unlimited length. The yarn is then used to create textiles, which are then used to make clothing and many other products. There are several industrial processes available to spin yarn, as well as hand-spinning techniques where the fiber is drawn out, twisted, and wound onto a bobbin. Filament yarns are made from long, and continuous strands of... View More

Yarn spinning is a process of making or converting fiber materials into yarns. A Yarn is usually of substantial length & of a small cross-section. In the cross-section of yarn, there are usually multiple numbers of Staple fibers (short fibers) or Filaments (long fibers) of unlimited length. The yarn is then used to create textiles, which are then used to make clothing and many other products. There are several industrial processes available to spin yarn, as well as hand-spinning techniques where the fiber is drawn out, twisted, and wound onto a bobbin. Filament yarns are made from long, and continuous strands of fiber. Most of them from synthetic and only silk represents for natural fibers in filament. Staple or spun yarns, on the other hand, are made from short length of fibers. It can be found from natural fibers or can be produced using synthetic as staple filament yarns. As it is short length, staple fibers need to be held together with others in order to get the long and continuous yarns. Both filament and staple yarns have their own advantages/disadvantages. Each of them is produced base on their end-use products such as fabrics, rope, and fishing yarns. A common technique used by the manufacturer to reduce the cost production of the staple is by combining staple with the filament. Some of the new advancement has been made by researchers are like Spinning Nano Yarns(University of Texas), Air Jet Spinning and High Speed spinning machine.   View Less
