SPLICING OF JUTE YARN BY THE WRAPPING METHOD

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.
