SNARL


Yarn with kinks(twisted onto itself)due to insuffcient tension after twisting


EFFECT
  • Entanglement with adjacent ends causing a break
  • Damaged fabric appearance
  • Shade variation in dyed fabrics
  • Improper meshing of gear wheels
  • Mixing of cottons varying widely in fiber lengths and use of immature cottons

CAUSES
  • Higher than normal twist in the yarn
  • Presence of too many long thin places in the yarn

RECTIFICATION
  • Optimum twist to be used for the type of cotton processed
  • Drafting parameters to minimise thin places in the yarn to be adopted
  • The yarn to be conditioned
  • Correct tension weights and slub catcher settings to be employed at winding
