YARN AND YARN MANUFACTURING-Doubling and Drawing:-4.8.1
Doubling and Drawing: In preparing the fibre tufts for spinning, doubling and drawing represent two essential operations and their combined effect permits a sliver with a more regular section to be obtained(through doubling) equipped with parallel fibres (through drawing) as well as the count requested by the spinning plan. The drawing operation done with the machine called the draw frame, permits a homogeneous blend both with fibers of the same nature as well as fibers with a different nature; the doubling steps are usually between four and eight. On a par with fiber characteristics such as length and fineness, a sliver with parallel fibres permits a yarn with better regularity and resistance. The drawing depends on some factors such as the number of doublings carried out and the value of the count of the entry sliver and delivery sliver. With drawing, curls, crimps and hooks are also eliminated, meaning the fibres folded in on themselves, present in the carded sliver. Drawing is
