    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_draw

    Short draw is the spinning technique used to create worsted yarns. It is spun from combed roving, sliver or wool top – anything with the fibers all lined up parallel to the yarn. It is generally spun from long stapled fibers. Short draw spun yarns are smooth, strong, sturdy yarns, and dense. [1] Short

  5. Spinning wheel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinning_wheel

    The spinning drive wheel turns the flyer and, via friction with the flyer shaft, the bobbin. A short tension band, or brake band, adds drag to the bobbin such that when the spinner loosens their tension on the newly spun yarn, the bobbin and flyer spin relative to each other and the yarn is wound onto the bobbin.

    Friction spinning: air is used to propel the sliver of fibres (1) to a carding drum (2) where they drop (3) between two perforated drums (5) that integrate and twist the yarn. Friction spinning or DREF spinning is a textile technology that is suitable for spinning coarse counts of yarns and technical core-wrapped yarns.

  8. Blend (textile) - Wikipedia

    A blend is a mixture of two or more fibers.In yarn spinning, different compositions, lengths, diameters, or colors may be combined to create a blend. [1] Blended textiles are fabrics or yarns produced with a combination of two or more types of different fibers, or yarns to obtain desired traits and aesthetics.

  9. Long draw - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_draw

    The first step to spin a true woolen yarn is to card the fiber into a rolag using handcarders. The rolag is spun without much stretching of the fibers from the cylindrical configuration. The hand holding the fiber is the active hand, and the one closer to the wheel is passive.
