Synopsis
Excerpt from The Textile Industries, Vol. 4: A Practical Guide to Fibres, Yarns and Fabrics in Every Branch of Textile Manufacture; Including Preparation of Fibres, Spinning, Doubling, Designing, Weaving, Bleaching, Printing, Dyeing and Finishing
Excepting that it is larger, the linen-doubling frame differs in no way from the wet-doubling frame of the cotton manufacturer. In making heavy twists, however, the coned pulleys of the upward twister are added to the frames. Being a very heavy fibre, linen does not twist easily, and tends to curl or snarl. Twisted While on the smaller cone pulley, and drawn tightly round the larger one in its wet state, the linen thread is thoroughly straightened and confirmed. Wound on to bobbins, the wet yarns must be quickly reeled into hanks for drying and other purposes. If the threads are to be sold in the natural colour, they are immediately run through the dressing and polishing machines to be described later; but if intended for either white or black threads, the hanks are dried in the stove and then sent on to the bleacher or dyer.
