What is wrap spinning?

Wrap spinning works on the principle of wrapping. The feed stock, generally drawn silver drafted in a five- roller drafting system. The drafted strand runs through a hallow spindle without receiving true twist. A continuous filament yarn, unwound from a bobbin on the hollow spindle is wrapped helically over the drafted strand of fibres forms wrap spun yarn. The wrap spun yarn therefore consists of a twistless core(parallel fibres) wrapped helically by a continuous filament. These yarns are also known as cover-spun yarns and the method of spinning is also known as hollow-spindle spinning.
