Abstract

A new type of yarn structure, which has been named self-twist yarn, is described. It is a two-ply structure in which both the strand and plying twists alternate S and Z along the yarn. The strength properties of the yarn and their dependence on the various yam parameters are given for 60/64s wool fibres, and it is shown that the strength can approach that of conventional yarns.
