Splicing by the wrapping method has been studied for jute yarns spun o
n flyer and wrap spinning systems. Load-elongation properties of the s
pliced yarns are affected by the splicing duration and length, but not
by the splicing materials. Splicing by the wrapping method produces a
very strong joint in flyer as well as wrapped spun yarns, particularl
y at increased splicing lengths, and strength retention increases to a
similar extent. While the flyer spun yarn registers higher elongation
retention, after splicing the wrapped spun yarn shows higher work of
rupture at each splicing length. Because the thickness of a splice is
much less than that of a knot (dog knot), the spliced yarn causes sign
ificantly lower tension fluctuations during weaving than the knotted y
arn.
