Role of Yarn Tension in Weaving

This book explains the crucial role of yarn tension in weaving. It also disusses the various aspects and effects of yarn tension on cloth characteristics.

No cloth can be woven without desired and adequate tensions of its constituent warp and weft yarns. This book explains the crucial role of yarn tension in weaving and discusses its various aspects and effects on cloth characteristics. The subject matter of this book includes -

• Yarn tension at the weaving preparatory process
• Warp tension measurement
• General form of weft tension variation
• Effects of loom settings and other factors on warp tension

• Effects of yarn tensions on loom performance Print edition not for sale in South Asia (India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Bhutan)
