Developments in Yarn Spinning Technologies covers the many advances that have occurred over the last 15 years. Besides improving production, these developments are driven by sustainability and energy efficiency. Although an area such as ring spinning has been proven as the most popular technology in this area, there have been various developments that have superseded in recent times. Similarly, rotor spinning, as the second most popular spinning system, has gone through many changes. Newer technologies in worsted, woolen, and other natural fiber spinning systems are also covered, along with the challenges posed through methods such as the circularity theory.

1 Overview of developments in yarn spinning technology 2 Opening and Cleaning of fibres: Latest developments 3 Combing and Draw frames 4 Speed frames and ring frames 5 Compact spinning 6 Rotor spinning 7 Air vortex spinning 8 Yarn structure – properties relationship 9 Industry 4.0 (Application of Artificial Intelligence, Machine learning and Internet of things) and developments in spinning technologies Industry 4.0 includes application of IoT, AI, ML and other techniques which is revolutionising the industrial technologies. Similarly, there is increased use of these techniques in latest spinning machines. This chapter will discuss about those applications and benefit accrued. 10 Worsted spinning technologies 11 Woollen spinning technologies 12 Recycling of textile materials and spinning of recycled fibres 13 Spinning of bast fibres and other natural unconventional fibres
