Abstract
Cotton roving was produced at speeds above 200 m/min by applying alternating twist by the self-twist technique (ST) and was then parallel-wound onto large tapered packages for use in ring-spinning cotton yarns. The cyclic ply and strand twist in the ST structure increased the variability of roving cohesion and tenacity relative to conventionally-twisted roving.
