About winding:
Winding is one of the most
important operation, which is
mainly occurred in spinning
section. Besides, it is also
important in fabric manufacturing.
In fabric manufacturing, directly
winding is not so much important,
but rewinding is so important. The
creation of large yarn packages that
can be easily unwound, is called
winding. This makes using the yarn
on subsequent machines both
easier and more economical.

Definition
The process of transferring yarns from ring, bobbin, hank into a suitable
package is called winding. It may be electrical or mechanical.

 Why winding
• To transfer yarn from one package to another suitable
package, this can be conveniently used for used for
weaving process.
• To remove yarns fault like hairiness, naps, slabs,
foreign matters.
• To clean yarn.
• To increase the quality of yarn.
• To get a suitable package.
• To store the yarn

Requirements Of Winding
The requirements of winding may be summarized as follow:
• The fault level in the yarn must be reduced to an acceptable
level.
• The yarn must not be damaged in any way in the winding
process.
• The yarn must be wound in such a way as to permit unwinding
in the following process with a minimum of difficulty at the
required speeds.
• The package size, shape and build must be the most
technologically suitable for the particular end use.
• The package size should be controlled to meet the particular
economic requirements.
• The winding operation must be geared to give the best possible
economic performance of the whole process of fabric

manufacture.
Winding Packages:
The process of transferring yarn from small packages like hank,
bobbing etc to a large package such as cones, pirns, cheese etc,
containing considerable length of yarn is called winding. The
suitable package is used for proper winding are called 
winding package. Winding packages are used to remove
objectionable fualts in the yarn like slubs, thick place, thin place,
doubling yarn etc

Types of Winding
Packages:

1. Parallel Winding
2. Near Parallel Winding
3. Cross Winding

Parallel Winding Package

In this type of winding the yarn is
wound parallel to each other on
package containing flanges on
both sides. This type of winding
does not require traversing guide.

Advantages of parallel winding

I. Many yarns can be wound at the same time

II. No need of traversing guide
III. No change in yarn twist occurs
IV. The package is stable
V. Side withdrawal is possible

Disadvantages of parallel winding

VI. Flanges are required
VII.Separate mechanism is required to unwind the yarn
VIII.Over withdrawal is not possible
IX. Example: beam, flange

03/05/2021
Near parallel Winding Package

This package contains one or more

threads which are laid very nearly
parallel to the layers already existing on
the package.
Advantage of near parallel winding
Flanges are not required
Over withdrawal is possible
No change in yarn twist occurs
Disadvantages of non parallel winding

Side withdrawal is not possible

The package is not stable
Traversing machine is required
Example: cop 03/05/2021 11
 Cross Winding Package
This type of package contains a
single thread which is laid on
the package at an appreciable
helix angle so that the layers
cross one another to give
stability.

Advantages of cross Disadvantage of cross

winding winding
I. Flange is not
required I. The yarn twist is changed
II. Yarn package is very during this winding
stable II. Traversing mechanism is
III. Over withdrawal is required 03/05/2021 12

possible
Winding Efficiency : 
The ratio of actual production and calculated production is called 
winding efficiency. It is expressed as percentage.

03/05/2021 13
Factors of Winding Efficiency:
Winding efficiency depends on the following factors
a) Spindle or drum speed: The higher the speed the more is the winding
efficiency
b) Yarn Count: Yarn count is proportional to winding efficiency
c) Yarn quality: If yarn quality increases then winding efficiency
increases
d) Worker efficiency: The more efficient the work is the more efficient
the winding will be.
e) Humidity: Humidity is reciprocal or inversely proportional to winding
efficiency.
f) Work load per worker: If the work load on each worker is less then
efficiency of winding will be more.
g) Power failure: If power failure rate increases the winding efficiency
will decrease.
h) Creeling time: The more the creeling time the less is the efficiency.
03/05/2021 14

i) Doffing time: The more the doffing time the less is the efficiency.
Reasons for lower efficiency
a. Power failure
b. Improper maintenance and over hauling
c. Natural disasters
d. Less skilled labor
e. Labor unrest
f. Shortage of machine parts and raw
materials
g. Strike
h. Maintenance problems

Faults of Winding
• Variation of yarn tension.
• Incorrect shape of yarn package.
• Too much knots in the yarn.
• Piecing up.
• Over lapping.
• Greasy and dirty yarn.
• Poor yarn cleaning and snarling.

Importance of the standard humidity for a winding floor

Humidity:

If the RH% is increased hairiness is increased .Much dirt is affected by yarn

which affects the machinery . As a results efficiency is decreased.
if RH% is increased strength of synthetic yarn is decreased and efficiency
decreased. If RH is decreased cotton yarn strength is decreased and yarn
breakage is increased. For synthethic yarn static electricity is evolved.Thus
the efficiency is decreased. Thats why standard humidity is important for a
winding floor..

Necessary of yarn preparation in weaving process

yarn preparation necessary in weaving process, because

1.To wind yarn uniformly onto a suitable package.
2.To improve weaving efficiency.
3.To improve or maintain higher quality of fabric.
4.To clean the yarn for better appearance and performance.
5.To remove yarn fault

The principle of ballon formation

The rotation applied to the departing yarn during at high speed

of the yarn unwinding from a stationary spinning cop,the yarn
is thrown by centrifugal force away from the cop axis and
circumscribes in space a plane is called ballon.It is
characterized by the height .
In the process of yarn unwinding from the cop every element
of the yarn in the ballon performs a complicate movement
along the yarn axis and a rotational movement around the cop
axis.The shape of ballon depends on the tension of the yarn at
the unwinding from cop.

22
Factors influence or affect the size of
ballon
1. Count of yarn:
Finer count ↑ VS higher ballon size↑
Coarser count↑ VS ballon size↓
2.Winding and unwinding speed:
Higher speed↑ VS higher ballon size↑
3. Size and shape of the package:
Larger package↑ VS greater ballon size↑
4.Position of guide:
Greater distance↑ VS higher ballon size↑
5.Lift of the package:
Lift of package↑ VS ballon size↑

23 Types of Tensioning Device

Tensioning device can be classified in 2 ways as follows-

1.Depending on the type of the working member acting on the
yarn.
2.According to the working principle.
Depending on the type of the working member acting on the
yarn the tensioning devices are the following types:
 Ball type.
 Washer type.
 Disc type.
 Roller type.
 Comb type.
 Two zone type.
