Q

why is roving necessary?

A

to reduce size, sliver is too big to come straight our of the drawframe and go immediately to spinning

Q

what are the 5 actions in roving?

A
  1. Drawing: reduces size
  2. twisting: add cohesion/strength
  3. make roving: wind on a package
  4. laying: make sure there is not gaps
  5. building: properly shaped bobbin

Q

what is balloonless spinning

A

we deflate the balloon and put a crown on-top of the spindle, the yarn goes through the crown and the crown forces the yarn to collapse around the bobbin without going too far out

Q

T or F: tight spots are untextured areas due to poor tension and teist contol

A

T

44
Q

are open yarns stronger or weaker than ring spun yarns and why?2

A

weaker because of bridge fibers and poor fiber orientation

45
Q

are open end yarns more or less even than ring spun yarns and why?3

A

more even because more doubling in lay in, no roving, and can chose amount of drawing processes

46
Q

do open end yarns have more or less elongation than ring spun and why?1
