Lectures: 1. Introduction to spinning technology - repeating the principle of yarn production, basic spinning processes - opening, attenuation, consolidation. The count of plied yarn. Definition of the term: draft ratio, productivity and possibilites of their calculation. 2. Yarn Production Technologies. Basic technological processes of yarn production with respect to the processed material (cotton, wool, man-made fibers and mixtures). 3. Overview and definitions of the most important yarn properties in terms of spinning technology. Introduction to yarn mass irregularity - causes of formation. Basic parameters of mass irregularity. The importance of mass irregularity in spinning technology. Basic principles of ensuring the mass evenness of linear fibrous assemblies. 4. Preparation of the material for spinning - opening, cleaning, mixing (blending) with respect to the processed raw material. Concept of opening, cleaning and mixing machines. The composition of the blowroom. 5. Carding in woolen/worsted and cotton spinning technology, the current concept of carding machines. Card clothing. Selected process variables of the carding machine and their impact on the quality of the sliver. 6. Doubling and drawing - Importance of operation in staple spun yarn technology. Concept of drawing machine for cotton and wool fibres. Drafting devices. Selected process variables of the drawframes and their influence on the quality of the sliver. 7. Importance of preparation for combing in yarn spinning technology. Cotton and wool combing technology. Selected process variables of the combing machine and their influence on the quality of the sliver. 8. Preparation of sliver using tow-to-top converters.

Learning outcomes
The course follows the basic subject Textile Technology I. In this course, students will improve knowledge of the yarn manufacturing. There are discussed individual technological stages of the yarn (opening, cleaning, blending, carding, doubling and drawing, combing, converter technology, roving production, ring spinning, rotor spinning, air jet spining and twisting). Selected unconventional yarns are mentioned. The influence of individual technological levels on the properties of the final product is briefly analyzed. It is refered to the selected basic technological parameters of the machines and their influence on the quality of the final product.
The student has an overview of staple yarn spinning technologies, purpose of individual spinning processes, principles of used machinery. Student is able to do basic calculations in area of staple yarn spinning.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of mathematics and mechanics, knowledge from subject: Textile technology I.
