Discussion/Theory:
Winding
The first step in yarn preparation for both knitting and weaving is winding. The
reasons for winding yarn are:
(1) To produce a package which is suitable for further processing and
(2) To inspect and clear (remove thick and thin sports) the yarn.
To perform the above tasks a winder, schematically illustrated, is divided into three
principal zones:
(1) The unwinding zone,
(2) The tension and clearing zone, and
(3) The winding zone.
To rewind the yarn on a new package, it must first be removed from the old
package. This is accomplished in the unwinding zone. This zone merely consists of a
creel, which holds the old package in an optimum position for unwinding;
The common yarn withdrawal methods, side withdrawal and over-end withdrawal.
Mujahid Mehdi
Page 1
In the over-end withdrawal method the package need not be rotated as the yarn is
pulled over the end of the package. This method is the simplest and most common
method of yarn withdrawal. There are, however, two factors which must be taken
into account when this method of withdrawal is use.
The first of these factors is known as ballooning. As the yarn is unwound from the
package at high speed, centrifugal force causes it to follow a curved path. As the
yarn rotates, it gives the illusion of a balloon above the package. This ballooning
leads to uneven tensions being produced in the yarn which mayor may not alter
some of the particular properties of the yarn.
The second factor for consideration if that for each time one complete wrap of yarn
is removed from the supply package, the twist in that length changes by one turn.
For most yarns this change is insignificant and may be ignored.
The next zone is the tension and clearing zone. It is in his zone that the yarn
receives the proper tension to provide an acceptable package density and build for
further processing. This zone consist of a tension device, a device to detect thick
spots, or slubs, in the yarn and a stop motion which causes the winding to stop in
the case of a yarn break or the depletion of a supply package. The yarn is directed
into this zone by a guide.
Following the guide the yarn enters a tension device. The purpose of the tension
device is to allow the maintenance of proper tension in the yarn in order to achieve
a uniform package density. The tension device also serves as a detector for
excessively weak spots in the yarn which break under the added tension induced by
the tension device.
Upon leaving the tension device, the yarn passes through a detector whose purpose
is to detect thick spots. This detector may be as simple as a frame which contains
an adjustable blade which can be set to allow only predetermined yarn diameters to
a pass through. This device is often called a snick blade. The detector, however,
may contain sophisticated electronics which continuously monitor the yarn to detect
thick (or thin) portions.
After leaving the slub catcher, the yarn passes through a stop motion device. The
purpose of the stop motion is to stop winding when the yarn breaks or runs out. This
stop motion varies in configuration from machine to machine but in general consists
of a counter weighted or spring loaded sensing device which is held in an inactive
position if the yarn is present. Breakage or running out causes the absence of this
restraining yarn and allows the sensing device to activate.

Apparatus or Equipment:
Warping machine.
Raw material:
Cones and Cheeses
Discussion/Theory:
It is practically not possible to place hundreds or thousands of cones before a loom
for the sake of providing warp to the fabric, so warping is used. Warping is basically
the process of winding a part of the total ends of warp in full width on a beam.

2) The yarn, which is wound onto cones, is passed through different parts of
creel, such as tensioner, proclaine guide, guide plate, guide peg, and stop
motion lever.
3) After passing through parts of creel yarns are passed through dressing or
fixed combs. Single yarn should be passed from single end of fixed comb.
4) Then double yarns are passed through each dent of moveable or zigzag
comb.

Apparatus or Equipment:
Automatic winding machine equipped with yarn clearer.
Raw material:
Ring bobbins
Discussion/Theory:
The purpose of yarn detector is to remove thick and thin places. Yarn detectors are
usually of two types: mechanical and electronic.
A mechanical clearer may be as simple as two parallel blades. The distance
between the plates is adjustable to allow only a predetermined yarn diameter to
pass through. A thicker spot on yarn (slub) will cause the tension on the yarn build
up and eventually breaks the yarn. These types of devices can only detect and deal
with thick places in the yarn. The clearer of todays technology are more
Mujahid Mehdi
Page 8
sophisticated and contains electronics that continuously monitor the yarn to detect
thin and thick places. Electronic detectors are mainly of two types:
Capacitive, and
Photoelectric.
In capacitive type detector, the variation in the mass of the yarn passing through
the plates changes the capacitance of the unit. It should be emphasized that the
system measures the mass of the yarn. The signal is not based on the physical
dimensions of the yarn. Then the generated signal reaches a certain value, the yarn
is cut.
In photoelectric detector, the yarn passes between light source and a photocell. Any
fluctuation in yarn thickness causes the fluctuation of the light coming to the
photocell, which changes the resistance of the photocell. This resistance change is
detected by a signal conditioning amplifier, which can be set to send a signal to cut
the yarn and stop the winding the process.
The latest yarn clearing systems can also detect foreign fibers. These fibers are
classified and eliminated during the winding process. As a result, the quality of the
yarn can be improved during the winding process.
PROCEDURE:
First of all check that whether all parts of the machine are at there right
position and condition or not.
Switch on the machine by main switch.
Put the bobbin the machine that is wound on the package.
Start the machine.
The machine is running and winding is started on the package upto a certain
height.
TEST RESULTS:
3. It is not possible to detect and remove yarn faults on ring spinning frame.
4. Automatic winders also help to build larger packages suitable for further
processing.

Performance Objective:
Upon successful completion of this experiment the students will become technically
aware of:
The applications of different types of creels,
The characteristic potential of different creels with different types of warping
machines.
Apparatus or Equipment:
Creels of different designs.
Raw material:
Cones and Cheeses
Discussion/Theory:
Before thinking about winding a specified number of yarns on a beam, first consider
the problem of positioning the packages from with the yarn is taken in such a
manner so as to facilitate the removal of yarn. Also keep in mind that the number of
yarns per beam is in the hundreds or thousands and that there must, at least, be
one supply package for each of these yarns.
Mujahid Mehdi
Page 11
It is logical, therefore, to build a frame of some sort to hold the packages. This
frame is known as a creel and its function is to hold the supply packages in a
manner so as to facilitate warping. To accomplish this purpose creels are equipped
with package holders on which the supply packages are placed, tension devices to
help maintain uniform tension throughout the creel, guides to direct charges
created by the rubbing of the yarn against the various surfaces and stop motions to
detect broken ends and/ or empty packages.
PROCEDURE:
Creels may be classified by the number of creel positons per end supplied. Using
this classification, creels are either single or multiple package creels. To achieve
higher beaming efficiency, single package creels are often used in various
Mujahid Mehdi

Page 14
beam and the necessity if any, of maintaining a pattern in the warp, e.g. for warp
stripes in, the fabric. Figures 17 and 18 illustrate the major methods of warping.
If the creel capacity is sufficiently high and the total number of, ends
required is sufficiently low or, if creel capacity is not sufficient or supply all
the required ends and no distinct yarn pattern is required, then beam
warping is generally used. Beam warping is simple the winding of yarns
directly from the supply packages onto a beam. This beam is called a section
beam since, except for the case in which all the required ends can be put on
a single beam, it contains only a section of the warp required.
If, however, with insufficient creel capacity, it is necessary to build a warp
beam containing the totality of ends required or if the warp yarns have to be
arranged in a definite order, then drum warping is used. In drum warping,
the warp is not wound directly from the creel onto the beam but rather
sections of the warp are wound onto a pattern drum.
In this manner the entire warp is built up in a series of sections on the
pattern drum. Then the total number of warp ends required in the fabric has
been wound on the pattern drum, they are all removed simultaneously and
wound upon a beam. This beam contains the exact number of ends required
in the warp. Also, because when the ends are taken from the creel and
wound on the pattern drum, exact placement in to each other may to made.
The final beam maintains this placement, and hence any pattern in the warp.
In general, for warp knitting the yarn for the entire fabric is not put on a
single beam, but rather put up on a series of smaller section beams which
contain only a position of the ends required for in full-width fabric. These
beams may be produced either by beams or dram warping methods. If the
yarn is to be used for warp knitting. It is usually ready at the point to go to
the knitting machine. If, however, the yarn is to be used in weaving, if
generally, must undergo one further operation, slashing.
TEST RESULTS:
5. By proper attention on the machine during operation the efficiency of the
machine can be increased.
6. If the warping is not carried out properly, certainly it will create problems in
forthcoming process.

Sizing cooker.
THEORY:
it is desirable to produce as high quality warp as possible one which will with stand
the rigors of weaving. This is the purpose of slashing or warp sizing. Assuming the
yarns are single spun yarns, the tensile strength of the yarn needs to be improved.
At this point, the major strength that the yarns possess is that derived from the
twisting of their fibers. In general, this strength is inadequate to assure an
acceptable level of end breakage and therefore attempts should be made to boost
the strength of the yarn by causing the fibers to adhesives to each other. This is
accomplished by adding and adhesive to the yarn. Continuous filament and ply
yarns are inherently strong enough and usually do not required boosting of their
strength.
The most important factors in choosing size ingredients are:
PRODUCRE:
Aqueous sizes are solution of:
An adhesive
An lubricant
An emulsifier
A deliquescent or an antiseptic.
ADHESIVE:
* Adhesives can be divided into three broad categories,
* Natural starch: such as Sago, corn, potato, or wheat,
* Modified or Etherized starches: which have been modified to produce lower
viscosity or reduces
preparation time, and
* Synthetic sizes: such as polyvinyl Alcohol (P.V.A), Acrylic copolymers and the
sodium salt of carboxymethyl cellulose.

CMC is used mainly on spun viscose warps to give water solubility in finishing
operation. It is frequently applied as a replacement for a proportion of the
starch on a third on the starch weight basis, and its extremely useful used
alone for the sizing of colored woven fabrics which are to be sold loom state,
particularly in dark shades.
LUBRICANTS:
ADDITIVES:
additives may be included to provide features such as static elimination and
mildew resistance.

TOOLS
Yarn guides and tensioners
THEORY
GUIDES FILL INTO TWO CATAGORIES: close which requires a yarn end to thread,
and open, which do not. Open guides, however, give less positive guideing.it is
important that guides kept be smooth to prevent damage to the yarn through abrasion
although friction damage can develop in too smooth a guide. Guides are usually made
from hard stainless steel or from ceramics.
Following the guide the yarn enters a tension device. The purpose of the tension device
is to allow the maintained of proper tension in the yarn in order to achieve a uniform
package density. The tension device also serves as a detector for excessively weak
sport in the yarn which breaks under the added tension induced by the tension device.
PROCEDURE/WORKING:
Tension device, as illustrated in figure given blow, falls into three categories:
1) Capstan (or multiplicative ) tensioner,
2) Additive tensioner, and
3) Combined (or disc) tensioner.
The following observation may be made about the capstan tensioner,
1) Since u, o and e are constant, the outgoing tension is merely a constant multiple
of the incoming tension, hence the name multiplicative tensioner.
2) If the incoming tension is zero so is the outgoing tension.
3) To vary the tension, at le4ast one of the following must be done:
a) Change the coefficient of friction by changing the post material or surface
characteristics.
b) Change the angle of warp
c) Change the number of post
d) Change the incoming tension.
Mujahid Mehdi
Page 22
It should be noted that some of these changes are, at the least impractical. Also,
because of the multiplier effect; tensions can build up to critical levels very rapidly. The
additive tensioner depends upon the coefficient of the friction between the weighting
plates and yarn u and the force applied to the yarn by these weights, F. The
relationship between incoming and outgoing tension is an additive type tensioner is
given by:
Tout = Tin + 2F
The following observation may be made concerning additive tensioners:
1) Since F and 2 are all constant for a giving system, the outgoing tension is
simply a constant added to the incoming tension, hence the name additive.
2) The incoming tension is zero; there is still an outgoing tension 2F.
3) The outing tension may be changed simply by changing the weight F.
Combined tensioners:
The most common device tensioning device found on winding machine is the combined
tensioner. The device consists of a capstan tensioner accepts weight discs and thus
also functions as an additive tensioner. The capstan is added primarily as a post-type
Mujahid Mehdi
Page 23
yarn guide rather than a tensioning device and, tension is regulated by adding or taking
off the weight discs.
TEST RESULT:
1) Tension is very important in fabric formation and we have to completely
monitoring the tension variation.
2) After this study we are able to working of different tensioner devices.
3) After this practical we are able to different types of yarn guiders.

This diagram shows the side view of a slasher and the sections that

The creel section of the slasher which contains the section beams from
warping. The yarn flows from the beams forward to the size boxes
where the size is applied. The wet yarn then progresses to the drying
cylinders, which are steam heated. As the yarn passes over the hot
surface of the drying cylinder, the moisture is evaporated leaving a dry
size film around the yarn. Next, the lease rod section is shown where
the adjacent yarns are separated to prevent stuck ends. From there the
ends pass through the comb which separates the ends and forms the
yarn sheet into the correct width for the loom beam. Next the ends
pass around the delivery roll and then to the loom beam. After the
beam is filled with yarn, it is removed and is now ready to go to the
entering area for weaving.

APARATUS:
Sarnning stand, heald Wires, Reed and Drop Wires.
RAW MATERIALS:
Sized yarn bean or weavers bean.
THEORY:
The next operation is dependent upon the current beam (or lack of beam) on the loom.
If the new warp corresponds one for one in number of ends and weave pattern with the
warp presently in place, the operation of tying-in is performed.
Tying-in is merely (only)n the cutting-off of the old warp and the end-to-end
tying of the yarns from the new beam to the corresponding warp yarns already in place
on the loom. This Operation
Is generally occurs at the loom. When the mill is producing long runs of the same
fabrics, tying-in is most prevalent (common).
There are relatively inexpensive portable machines which can tie-in the
new warp at a rate
Of up to 600 ends/minutes; which is called knotter, so manual tying-in is rarely
encountered (met) in most mills.
If the new warp does not correspond exactly to the old warp or the loom
does not have a warp to begin with, then drawing-in must be performed. Drawing-in is
the process of providing each and with a drop wire, a heddle in the proper harness and
a dent in the reed.
Mujahid Mehdi
Page 29
Drawing-in does not generally occur at the loom, but rather in another area
in the mill. Drawing-in machines are also available but they are extremely expensive.
Thus, unless the mill is very large and produces many short run fabrics of different
design, manual drawing-in is more prevalent. In warp knitting, the yarns are taken from
the warp beam and manually threaded through the machine. Tying-in, even if the new
beams are replacements, is not normally practiced.
PRODUCRE:
First of all certain length of warp yarn is unwound from the weavers beam.
Each individual warp yarn is passed through a single drop wire.
The yarns are then passed through appropriate heddle eyes, and reed dent
according to the design of the fabric.
Note that only single warp yarn is passed through each heald eye, whereas
multiple warp ends can be passed through single dent of reed.

THEORY
The draft or drawing plan indicates the manner of drawing the ends through the heald
eyes and it also denotes the number of heald shaft required for a given weave repeat.
The choice of the type of drafting plan depends upon the type of fabric woven.
Types of drafts:
The various drafts are classified as follows :
(i) Straight
(ii) Pointed
(iii) Skip and sateen
(iv) Broken
(v) Divided
(vi) Grouped
(vii) Combination
STRAIGHT DRAFT:
This is the most commonly used draft. It is the simplest of all the types of draft
plans. In this kind of draft the drafting order progresses successively from first to
Mujahid Mehdi
Page 36
the last heald frame. Thus the first warp end of a weave is drawn through the first
heald shaft, the second warp through the second heald frame and so on. One
important feature of the straight draft that distinguishes it from other types of draft
plans is that the peg or lifting plan is same as the design. Hence it is sufficient to
indicate only the design.
POINTED DRAFT:
This is similar to a straight draft. It is suitable for weaves such as pointed twill,
diamond weaves and ordinary types of honeycombs. The straight draft is reversed
after half the repeat warp way. The number of heald shafts is about half the repeat
size of the weave.
Mujahid Mehdi
Page 37
BROKEN:
A broken draft almost resembles the pointed draft. However the pointed effect is
broken. This type of draft is suitable for weaves such as herringbone twills.
DIVIDED:
This draft is used for weaves having two series of warp threads such as terry,
double cloth, warp backed cloth etc. As can be seen in Fig. 2.7, the two sets of warp
threads, say, face and back warps are divided into two groups. The first group is for
8 heald shafts and second for 9-12 heald shafts.
GROUPED:
These drafts are employed for the production of stripe and check designs, in which
the stripes have different weaves or their combinations. This draft (Fig. 2.8) is used
for producing the fabric with two different stripes. The repeat of the draft is
determined by the number of stripes and the number of threads in each stripe. The

number of shafts in the draft depends upon the number of stripes and the warp
repeat of weave of each stripe.
COMBINATION:
Various methods of drawing in can be combined in one draft for producing a certain
type of fabric. Two or more drafts described above can be applied simultaneously,
for example, straight and skip or sateen, grouped and curved, and so on. Combined
draft is the most complicated and can be chosen only if there are some
technological or economical reasons. The designer having a great experience can
do it properly.

THEORY
The draft or drawing plan indicates the manner of drawing the ends through the heald
eyes and it also denotes the number of heald shaft required for a given weave repeat.
The choice of the type of drafting plan depends upon the type of fabric woven.
Types of drafts:
The various drafts are classified as follows :
(i) Straight
Mujahid Mehdi
Page 41
(ii) Pointed
(iii) Skip and sateen
(iv) Broken
(v) Divided
(vi) Grouped
(vii) Combination
STRAIGHT DRAFT:
This is the most commonly used draft. It is the simplest of all the types of draft
plans. In this kind of draft the drafting order progresses successively from first to
the last heald frame. Thus the first warp end of a weave is drawn through the first
heald shaft, the second warp through the second heald frame and so on. One
important feature of the straight draft that distinguishes it from other types of draft
plans is that the peg or lifting plan is same as the design. Hence it is sufficient to
indicate only the design.
POINTED DRAFT:
This is similar to a straight draft. It is suitable for weaves such as pointed twill,
diamond weaves and ordinary types of honeycombs. The straight draft is reversed
after half the repeat warp way. The number of heald shafts is about half the repeat
size of the weave.

BROKEN:
A broken draft almost resembles the pointed draft. However the pointed effect is
broken. This type of draft is suitable for weaves such as herringbone twills.
DIVIDED:
This draft is used for weaves having two series of warp threads such as terry,
double cloth, warp backed cloth etc. As can be seen in Fig. 2.7, the two sets of warp
threads, say, face and back warps are divided into two groups. The first group is for
8 heald shafts and second for 9-12 heald shafts.

the stripes have different weaves or their combinations. This draft (Fig. 2.8) is used

THEORY:
A woven cloth is formed by the interlacement of two sets of threads, namely, warp and
weft threads. These threads are interlaced with one another according to the type of
weave or design. The warp threads are those that run longitudinally along the length of
the fabric and the weft threads are those that run transversely across the fabric. For the
sake of convenience the warp threads are termed as ends and the weft as picks or
fillings
The design indicates the interlacement of warp and weft threads in the repeat of the
design. It is made up of a number of squares, which constitute the repeat size of a
design. The vertical direction of the squares indicates the picks and the horizontal
direction indicates the ends. A blank in a square indicates that a warp goes below the
corresponding weft and X mark in the square indicates that the warp floats above the
weft.
Plain weave

Twill weave
(iii)
(iv)
(v)
The plain weave is variously known as calico or tabby weave. It is the simplest of all
weaves having a repeat size of 2. The range of application of this weave is wide.
The plain weave has the following characteristics:
(i) It has the maximum number of binding points
(ii) The threads interlace on alternate order of 1 up and 1 down.
(iii) The thread density is limited
(iv) Cloth thickness and mass per unit area are limited.
(v) It produces a relatively stronger fabric that is obtained by any other simple
combination of threads, excepting that of gauze or cross weaving.
Mujahid Mehdi
Page 47
The principle involved in the construction of plain cloth is the interlacement of any two
continuous threads either warp or weft in an exactly contrary manner to each other, with
every thread in each series passing alternately under and over consecutive threads of
other series interlaces uniformly throughout the fabric. By this plan of interlacement,
every thread in each series interlaces with every thread in the other series to the
maximum extent, thereby producing a comparatively firm and strong texture of cloth. A
complete unit of the plain weave occupies only two warp threads and two picks of weft
(Fig. 3.1), which is the design for that weave. Plain weave finds extensive uses. It is
used in cambric, muslin, blanket, canvas, dhothi, saree, shirting, suiting, etc.

These are constructed by extending the plain weave in weft direction as shown in Fig.

End uses
Matt weave finds extensive uses for a great variety of fabrics such as dress materials,
shirtings, sail cloth, duck cloth etc.
Twill weave
Mujahid Mehdi
Page 49
Twill weaves are the weaves that find a wide range of application. They can be
constructed in a variety of ways. The main feature of these weaves that distinguishes
from other types is the presence of pronounced diagonal lines that run along the width
of the fabric.
The basic characteristics of twill weaves are:
(i)
(ii) More ends per unit area and picks per unit area than plain cloth.
(iii) Less binding points than plain cloth
(iv) Better cover than plain weave
(v) More cloth thickness and mass per unit area.
Classification of twill weave
The twill weaves are produced in a wide variety of forms. They are however classified
broadly into important categories, namely:
Mujahid Mehdi
Page 50
In these types of twills the warp thread floats over all the picks in a repeat except one
pick. The minimum repeat size required is 3. Examples of warp faced twills are 2/1, 3/1,
4/1, 5/1 etc.
Weft faced twill:
These twills are the reverse of the previous ones. In these weaves the weft thread floats
over the warp on all picks in a repeat except one. Examples of weft faced twills are 1/2,
1/3, 1/4, 1/5 etc. Some types of weft faced twills are shown in Fig. 4.2. Fig. 4.2 B, C and
D show a right handed or Z twill and Fig. A shows left handed or S twill.
