YARN TWIST

Fibres are arranged around an axis by means of twist. Twisting adds strength to the yarns. Number of twist determines the appearance and strength of the yarn.

Yarn twisting can be done in two directions. They are:

· S twist or clockwise or right hand twist.

· Z twist or anticlockwise or left hand twist (Figure 4.1).
