Spinning is the twisting together of fibers
to form yarn (or thread, rope, or cable).

Fibers can not be used to make clothes in their raw form. For Umbrella Making
this purpose, they must be converted into yarns. The process Process
used for yarn formation is spinning. Spinning by hand was a C arpet
slow and laborious process. Thus, Many implements and Manufacturing
methods were invented for making it faster and simple. Denim
Eventually, the techniques were refined and industrial Manufacturing
spinning started manufacturing yarn in various ways. The

methods selected depend upon the factors such as the

implications, the fibers to be used and the desired properties
of yarn to be produced. Ring method is the oldest and the Fiber Spinning
most used technique. Open- end spinning is another
important method. The basic manufacturing process of Glass Fiber Textile
spinning includes carding, combing, drafting, twisting and
winding. As the fibers pass through these processes, they are Leather Fabric

continue straightening the fibers until they are arranged in
such a parallel manner that the short fibers are completely
separated from the longer fibers. This procedure is not
required for man made staple fiber because they are cut into
predetermined uniform lengths. This process forms a 'comb
sliver' made of the longest fibers. The combing process is
identified with better quality because long staple yarn

where it is given its first twist and is then wound on bobbins.
'Roving' is the final product of the several drawing-out
operations. It is the preparatory stage for the final insertion
of twist. Till now, enough twist is given for holding the fibers
together but it has no tensile strength. It can break apart
easily with a slight pull. The roving, on bobbins, is placed in
the spinning frame, where it passes through several sets of
rollers running at high speed and finally the 'Yarn' is produced
of the sizes desired.
