Spinning is the process of converting prepared fiber into yarn or thread, which is essential for weaving or knitting. This can be done using different methods, depending on the fiber and desired characteristics.
Ring Spinning: The most common method, where fibers are twisted together to form a continuous thread.
Open-End Spinning: This modern technique uses a rotor to spin fibers into yarn without twisting them, leading to faster production and lower costs.
Air Jet Spinning: A high-speed method where air is used to spin fibers into yarn, resulting in a smoother and stronger thread.
The choice of spinning method directly affects the texture, strength, and appearance of the yarn, which in turn influences the finished fabric.
