yarn types ?

Torben these terms are used in the textile industry.

A ring spinner is a device (Ring) that spins at very high speed around a still standing cone, spinning and winding the fibers into yarns in textile mills. There are usually many in one row sitting at the end or back of a huge machine. The thin roving of fibers is fed into the frond of the same machine and when it is fed into the ring spinner it is nearly a finished yarn

Your other term is one, that I thought, that might be again a manufacturing term for any kind of yarn a whole saler can order from the factory, and you can reorder this item for as long as it is listed under open ended yarn. I yarn that is constandly produced versus a yarn that has only one run.

What do you think guys are there any other ideas out there on this topic

This may help.

Thanks Roger. I was somewhat off with the one answer. I did know though that it was related to the milling of fibers. Makes a lot of sense the open ended spinning for cottons. When you hand spin cotton you have to roll the short fibers of the cotton in a puni so they hold together while spinning. You give it a lot of twist and then tuck tuck the puni, to make it thinner into a thread. The extra twist will keep on holding the 50 mm cotton fibers from coming apart. The fluffy open end spinning with industrial speed will grasp these fibers on the fly. I would love to see it done. I have seen ring spinners working many times. Our local cottage industry mill, who mills most of our fleeces, now has a small industrial machine with ring spinners for spinning fibers. Love watching machines and look at how they work.

Thank you for the answer
