The influence of winding on yarn hairiness is examined, and increased hairiness during winding is verified using a Zweigle hairiness tester. Specifically, this study concentrates on the increase of wild hairs on the yarn surface after winding, and the relationship between winding tension and yarn hairiness. Fiber transfer is proposed to explain the increased wild hairs; experimental results verify that fiber transfer occurs. A theory is proposed to explain the mechanism of fiber transfer during winding, and experimental results are given to support this mechanism.
