What is Spinning?

A Yarn is usually of substantial length & of small cross section. In the cross section of a yarn there are usually a multiple number of Staple fibers (short fibers) or Filaments (long fibers) of unlimited length.

Yarn made out of Staple fiber is known as Spun Yarn, because the staple fibers should undergo number of process stages so that a yarn can be made out of them. This procedure or process stages in correct sequence is called “Spinning”. Fiber extrusion or conversion of filaments from Polymers was also considered as “Spinning”. Below mentioned is an introduction to the Yarns.

Staple Spun Yarn:

Those are made by Twisting Staple Fibres together into a Strand. The length of the Fibre is limited. Given are some of the spun yarns.

01. Mono Yarn:

Solid, Single Strand of Unlimited Length.

02. Multi Filament :

Many continuous filaments with some twist.

03. Staple Yarn :

Many short fibers twisted together tightly.

04. Two Plied Yarn :

Two single yarn twisted together.

05. Multi Plied Yarn :

Plied Yarns twisted together.

06. Thread :

Hard, Fine, Plied Yarn.

07. Cord or Cable :

Many plied yarns twisted into a course structure.
