Twist is the spiral arrangement of the fibers around the axis of the yarn. it binds the fiber together and strenghten the yarn. There are tw type of twist one is "S" type and other one is "Z" Twist
Yarn Twist
There are two different types of yarn twists. It depends on the direction of the twist--clockwise, or counterclockwise. The twists are named after the letter of the alphabet that the twist looks like. Therefore, you have an "S-twist" and a "Z-twist." The twist in the yarn looking like the letter "s" or the letter "z."
Yarn that is not spun enough will break as there is not enough tension holding the fibers together. The twist of a given yarn is measured by the twist per inch. The amount of twist needed varies based on fiber type and the thickness of the desired yarn. There's a great wikipedia article here that goes into more detail: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twist_per_inch

S and Z twist are two types of twist given to yarn. Before giving twist fibre /roving strand has to be parallel so that either twist given is not affected. Either of twist is suitable but in practical applications Z twist is given to yarns either be knitting or weaving.
Tangle is a verb. It means to mix up or twist together, like a tangle of yarn or vines.
To make a ladder yarn bracelet, you'll need ladder yarn, scissors, and a clasp. Cut two lengths of ladder yarn to your desired bracelet length, then tie them together at one end. Braid or twist the yarn together, incorporating the ladder holes to create a textured pattern, and secure the other end with a clasp. Trim any excess yarn, and your bracelet is ready to wear!
A spinning wheel is a device used to spin fibers like wool into yarn or thread. It helps to smoothly and evenly twist the fibers together to create a strong and consistent yarn for knitting or weaving.
A hand spindle is typically used in the context of spinning fibers into yarn. The device most commonly associated with this process is called a "drop spindle." This simple tool allows the user to twist and spin fibers by hand, using gravity to help create tension and twist, resulting in spun yarn that can be used for various textile projects.
1.To insert twist to the yarn. 2.To wind yarn on the spinning cop. 3.To give enough tension thereby producing compact spinning cop which in turn increases the cop content in terms of weight and length
The tensile strength of textile can be divided into three types: as for the woven fabric, one is tensile strength, most of fabric can reach this demand, if not, the development of this fabric is unsuccessful, can not be used to make clothing. The second is tear strength, tear the sample a hole first, then use the strength tester to tear the sample and test its sustainable strength, this is a key index and has much more substance. As for the knitted fabric, the index to check the fabric strength is bursting strength. The most relevant to the knitted fabric bursting strength are the yarn strength and fabric weight, if the fabric yarn strength is poor and the fabric weight is light, there will cause problems. The yarn fineness: as for the same material, the thicker the yarn, the better strength, so this fabric strength is higher. The yarn twist: in general, the yarn strength increase with twist, after reaching certain extent, the yarn strength decrease with twist, but it won't happen in general. The fabric density: generally speaking, the higher the fabric density, the more yarn dosage per unit area, so that the fabric strength is bigger. By YULONG FR tex
Autocoro yarn is a yarn made without using a spindle. This method is called "open end spinning. Open end spinning can be explained by using an analogy. If you were opening your still-spinning dryer machine, and you grabbed the corner of a sheet, for example, and began pulling it out, the sheet would twist. This is the idea behind open end spinning.
