Working Principle of Rotor Spinning
Now a day rotor spindles occupy at least 6% of the world’s total installation. However, this may seem like a small percentage, but this figure is significant when taken in yarn production, as a large percentage of yarn spun on this system is in the coarser to medium count range. Open-end rotor spinning has become an inseparable […]
Processing of Man-made Fibres and Blends on Rotor Spinning
Since rotor spinning established its superiority over conventional spinning, blended and manufactured yarns have attracted spinners. One of the essential requirements of blended yarn is the degree of homogeneity in blending their components throughout the length of yarns spun and the uniform distribution of the individual fibre component in the cross-section. In this spinning, the […]
An Overview of Open-end Rotor Spinning
Fibres are spun into yarn, and yarns are woven or knitted into fabrics, and fabrics are then transformed into clothing products. There are three popular techniques of yarn manufacturing like ring spinning, rotor or open-end spinning and air-jet spinning. Among them, ring spinning is the oldest and till now used to make a wide range […]
An Overview of Diamond Weave Fabric Construction
This is a derivative of twill weave. Diamond design is developed on the basis of pointed draft principle. It is build-up by the combination of vertical and horizontal zig-zag weave. The repeat size of this design is also calculated from the regular or base twill design. In this case the number of both warp and weft yarns […]

Formulas for the Determination of Yarn Count
The system by which we determine the yarn number is called count. Count is the number of yarn denoting the sophistication or obesity of yarn. So by linear density or the yarn count, we can know how fine or course the yarn is. It indicates the mass per unit length or length per unit mass […]
