CONT

Flyer : A device used to insert twist into slubbing, roving, or yarn, and to serve a guide for winding it onto a bobbin. The flyer is shaped like an inverted U.... One arm of the U is solid and the other is hollow. The yarn enters through the top of the hollow arm, travels downward, and emerges at the bottom where it is wound around a presser finger onto the take-up package.

CONT

L'ailette est un dispositif du banc à broches. Elle applique la torsion aux mèches et sert de guide pour les enrouler sur des bobines. L'ailette a la forme d'un U inversé qui est muni de deux branches : une branche solide et une branche creuse. La mèche passe par le haut de la branche creuse de l'ailette, la parcourt et sort à la base de cette branche pour s'enrouler ensuite sur un doigt presseur qui délivre la mèche sur une bobine d'enroulement.

OBS

[...] le ruban se transforme en mèche grâce à une torsion qui lui est donnée par une ailette dans la branche creuse [...].

Record 4 2014-03-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Tools and Equipment (Textile Industries)
  • Textile Weaving (Textile Industries)
CONT

A weft picking device of an air jet type weaving loom including a weft inserting nozzle, a plurality of air guide members which form an air guide channel through which a weft yarn from the weft inserting nozzle is picked into the shed of warp yarns, and an auxiliary nozzle disposed between a pair of adjacent air guide members and formed with a small nozzle opening through which auxiliary air is ejected, the nozzle opening being so located that the extension of the axis thereof intersects the axis of the air guide channel at an angle lying within a plane containing the axes of the nozzle opening and the air guide channel, thereby achieving effective weft picking and overcoming the drawbacks encountered in various conventional weft picking devices.

The yarn design section of the book takes spinners step-by-step through the process of spinning yarns of a pre-determined size and twist count. It then looks at different spinning methods and how to spin everything from solid hard-wearing worsted to soft, fluffy woollen yarns. Included are woven and knitted projects that suggest suitable end uses for handspun yarn.
