ABSTRACT
Spinning is the process of producing continuous twisted strands (yarn) of a desired size from fibrous materials. Spinning can be categorized based on staple length as long staple spinning and short staple spinning. Short staple spinning machines process fibers such as cotton, polyester, viscose, and its blends thereof. The yarn formation is usually accomplished by any one of the spinning systems. Spinning systems presently employed include ring, rotor, self-twist, friction, air jet, and twistless and wrap spinning, with the first two systems by far the most important for cotton spinning, together accounting for over 90% of the cotton yarn produced globally.
