Title:: Practical Observation of Different Types of Yarns and Yarn Faults

This document discusses different types of yarns and yarn faults. It describes four main types of yarns: single yarns made of twisted fibers; ply yarns made by twisting two or more single yarns; cord yarns made by twisting ply yarns; and slub yarns with soft bulky areas at regular or irregular intervals. The document also discusses two types of yarn faults - thick places caused by soiling or machine damage, and thin places from excessive drafting - and how keeping machines clean and optimized can avoid many such faults.

Title:

Practical observation of different types of yarns and yarn faults

Abstract:
In this experiment, different types of yarns were observed. And studied about yarn faults how these faults
affect the yarn and how can we observe them and find them. For this purpose faulty and quality yarn was
observed and distinguished. Two types of faults can be observed inherited faults and faults due to process.

Introduction:
Types of yarn
Yarns can be described as single, or one-ply; ply, plied, or folded; or as cord
1. Single yarn is the simplest type of yarn. It is commonly produced by twisting together staple or
filament fibers.
2. Ply yarns are produced by twisting two or more single yarns. Each strand of single yarn is referred to as
a ply. Thus, four single yarns twisted together would form a four-ply yarn.
3. Cord yarns are produced by twisting two or more ply yarns
4. Slub yarns can be either single or ply yarns. These yarns are characterized by the soft bulky area that is
spun at regular or irregular intervals.

Yarn faults
Rare yarn faults are principally characterized according to their appearance. There are two different types
of faults: Thick places often caused by soiling or damaged machine parts. Thin places can occur, for
example, through excessive drafts in the drafting assembly. Around half of all thick places are caused by
fiber fly spun in on the spinning machine. Many of these faults can be avoided by keeping the spinning
machine clean as well as using optimized settings.

Discussion:
There are many types of yarn. But in this lab we studied about four types of yarn. The first one is single
yarn, in this yarn all yarns like ring spinning, rotor spinning, combed, carded yarn. Single yarn is
produced by twisting together staple or filaments fibers. Ply yarns are produced by twisting two or more
single yarns. Each strand of single yarn is referred to as a ply. Thus, four single yarns twisted together
would form a four-ply yarn. Cord yarns are produced by twisting two or more ply yarns. Slub yarns can
be either single or ply yarns. These yarns are characterized by the soft bulky area that is spun at regular or
irregular intervals.
