Bleaching

StarStarStarStar

Sequence: Chemical treatment to remove natural color from the yarn. End Product: Bleached yarn, which is pure white and ready for dyeing or finishing.

StarStarStarStar

Twisting

StarStarStarStar

Sequence: Twisting two or more single yarns to create a plied yarn. End Product: Twisted yarn with increased strength and durability.

StarStarStarStar

Spinning

StarStarStarStar

Sequence: Roving is drawn out and twisted to create yarn. End Product: Spun yarn, ready for knitting, weaving, or other uses.

StarStarStarStar

Winding

StarStarStarStar

Sequence: Transformation of spun yarn into suitable large packages. End Product: Wound packages that could be dyed, knitted, or woven.

StarStarStarStar

Carding

StarStarStarStar

Sequence: Alignment of fibers into a web, which is then condensed into a sliver. End Product: Carded sliver for spinning.

StarStarStarStar

Dyeing

StarStarStarStar

Sequence: Application of color on yarn through chemical interaction with the fiber. End Product: Dyed yarn, available in a variety of colors.

StarStarStarStar

Texturing

StarStarStarStar

Sequence: The use of chemical or thermal means to give synthetic yarns a greater volume and elasticity. End Product: Textured yarn with improved thermal insulation and aesthetic properties.

StarStarStarStar

Sizing

StarStarStarStar

Sequence: Coating the yarn to enhance its strength and reduce abrasion during weaving. End Product: Sized yarn, ready to be warped and woven.

StarStarStarStar

Drawing

StarStarStarStar

Sequence: Parallelization and blending of fibers by repeatedly drafting the slivers. End Product: Drawn sliver, more uniform in thickness.

StarStarStarStar

Combing

StarStarStarStar

Sequence: Further straightening of fibers by removal of short fibers and impurities, following carding. End Product: Combed sliver, with higher quality and uniformity than carded.

StarStarStarStar

Roving

StarStarStarStar

Sequence: Slivers are drafted and twisted slightly to form a roving. End Product: Roving, a thinner and more twisted form of fiber strand, ready for spinning into yarn.

StarStarStarStar

Mercerizing

StarStarStarStar

Sequence: Treating cotton yarn with caustic soda, resulting in swelling of the fiber. End Product: Mercerized yarn with increased luster, strength, and dye affinity.
