Woolen

Carded is a product of uncombed wool and wool blends. The name comes from carded scratching ( = strike ), are prepared by the fibers for spinning.

Streichgarnherstellung

Washed wool fibers are mixed, oiled and pre-dissolved in the morel. The resolution down to individual fibers takes place at the two - or three-piece set of clutter ( "scratch "). The fibrous layer is refined presented here about a hundred times, set individual fibers partially parallel and divides the outgoing fleece on the connected Florteiler into narrow strips ( rovings ). From the roving is on the ring spinning machine or manufactured ( to about the end of the 20th century ) on the mule yarn. The fiber ribbon is in this case about 1.5 -fold in the drafting system, that is minimally distorted.

Special Features

Fibers of different origins and characteristics (length 10-80 mm, 1.5-3.5 dtex fineness ) can be processed, a combing of short fiber is not possible.

The woolen spinning process is the shortest spin process in terms of the number of machine cycles; especially lack the complete drawing passages with Dublierungsmöglichkeiten. A parallelization of the fiber is insufficient in this spinning technique. The spun yarn is especially characterized by its random fiber layer.

Two cylinder spinning

From the originally developed for wool technology procedures were modified for yarn from other types of fibers (cotton, shoddy, chemical fiber, cotton and silk waste, etc.). Grobgarn or Vigognespinnen etc. are just like the Streichgarnspinnen the twin-cylinder technology associated with that differs in many important characteristics of worsted - or three-cylinder method.

Yarn properties and use

The fiber material is often colored in the flake, compiled the shades by lot, the yarn spun heather.

In the usual niceties 33-1000 tex it reaches about half of the tensile strength of worsted of comparable material.

All correspondence warps and hand knitting yarns are twisted.

The yarns are voluminous, full-bodied, soft and hairy. Compared with combed yarns they have higher non-uniformity and many thick and thin places.

The main areas of application: Mainly coarse woven and knitted fabrics for outerwear, such as tweed, Cheviot, fleece, flannel, loden, velor, jersey, sweaters, blankets, carpets, upholstery fabrics and hand knitting yarns.
