Like knitting and crocheting, spinning — the process of twisting fibers together to make yarn — is enjoying a comeback. Textile artists want “to control the front end of their yarn,” says Sarah ...

Yarn spinning dynamics and fibre arrangement form the cornerstone of modern textile engineering, underpinning both the quality of yarn and its performance in downstream manufacturing. An understanding ...

Despite their immense potential, the road to translating the superlative properties of individual carbon nanotubes into high-performance macroscopic fibers and yarns has been fraught with challenges.

AeroLas GmbH (Munich, Germany) has developed a spinning process by which discontinuous filaments of carbon fiber can be combined with a thermoplastic fiber to create a yarn material that has potential ...

An efficient process makes it possible to spin kilometer-long yarns of carbon nanotubes. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are attractive for a multitude of technological and life science applications because ...

The Schmidt family, owners of Kraemer Textiles in Nazareth, has introduced a product in response to a trend that has been called “the new yoga.” Hand knitting is enjoying a healthy revival, with Julia ...
