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 ...

Spinning a yarn, literally, has become a favorite pastime of a growing number of Americans. In 1970, there were perhaps 1,500 to 2,000 people in the United States who spun their own yarn, using a hand ...

The Santa Monica Public Library will host a free yarn-spinning workshop on Saturday, July 19, from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Montana Avenue Branch. Volunteers from the Greater Los Angeles Spinning Guild will ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Materials engineers are keen to exploit the outstanding mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for applications in fibers, composites, fabrics and other larger-scale ...

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.
