INTRODUCTION

Spinning is the twisting

together of drawn-out
strands of fibers to
form yarn, and is a major
part of the textile industry.

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.

METHODS

The yarn issuing from the drafting rollers passes through a

thread-guide, round a traveller that is free to rotate around a
ring, and then onto a tube or bobbin, which is carried on a
spindle, the axis of which passes through a center of the ring.
If the drafting rollers were stationary, the angular velocity of
the traveller would be the same as that of the spindle and
each revolution of the spindle would cause one turn of twist
to be inserted in the loop of yarn between the roller nip and
the traveller.

 In spinning, however, the
yarn is continually issuing
from the rollers of the
drafting system and,
under these
circumstances, the
angular velocity of the
traveller is less than that of the spindle by an amount that is
just sufficient to allow the yarn to be wound onto the bobbin
at the same rate as that at which it issues from the drafting
rollers.
Each revolution of the traveller now inserts one turn of twist
into the loop of yarn between the roller nip and the traveller
but, in equilibrium, the number of turns of twist in the loop of
yarn remains constant as twisted yarn is passing through the
traveller at a corresponding rate
Ring spinning is one of the most common spinning methods
in the world.Other systems include air-jet and open-end
spinning, a technique where the staple fiber is blown by air
into a rotor and attaches to the tail of formed yarn that is
continually being drawn out of the chamber. Other methods
of break spinning use needles and electrostatic forces
