ABSTRACT
Yarn winding is the final stage of the yarn-forming process and the starting point for various subsequent processes, from weaving or knitting to textile finishing. Yarns manufactured and packaged from ring spinning are not in the optimum condition to be used to form fabrics. Package size, build, and other factors make it necessary for the yarn to be further processed to prepare it to be handled efficiently during fabric formation. Yarn winding can be viewed as a packaging process, forming a link between the last few elements of yarn manufacturing and the first element of fabric manufacturing process. This interface function of winding is what makes the winding process so important. The ringspinning operation produces a ring bobbin containing just a few grams of yarn, which is unsuitable for the efficiency of further processing, such as warping, weaving, and knitting. The winding process converts the ring bobbin of several grams into dense yarn package of several kilograms, which can unwind in the subsequent operations without interruptions.
