Yarn Spinning and Manufacturing

The student has a basic knowledge about textile yarn production methods and is able to give an account of the classifications, names and properties of the textile yarns.The students cab describe the process from fibres to threads and the use of different production and spinning methods.

The students can describe the basic concepts and processes for the manufacturing of natural and man-made fiber yarns.
- can explain the basic / advanced processes for yarn spinning and texturing
- can describe the industrial classification of yarns and applications
- can understands the definitions for different yarn count systems and knows the conversion between yarn counts
- can explain different yarn types and structures
- undesrtand the effect of moisture on yarn count results
- understand the effect of twist on certain yarn and fabric properties
- can explain general quality criteria of threads.

This course will include
- basic knowledge about textile yarns production methods
- classifications, names and properties of the textile yarns.
- the process from fibers to threads using different production and spinning methods.
