Existing models for predicting end breakage rates in spinning give unrealistic values when considering the effects of changes in count or speed on the worsted ring frame. A new approach to predicting end breaks gives results that are closer to experience values. The most important factor in determining end breaks is yarn strength variation, followed by mean yarn strength and spinning tension.
