What is compact spinning?

Compact spinning is a process, where fiber strand drawn by drafting system is condensed before twisting it. Compact spinning was introduces in the 90’s and developed around the year 2000. The benefits of compact spinning are widely known and described in professional literature (improved hairiness, tensile strength and elongation), however the additional expenditures forced many spinners to reject the implementation.While in the past, there was a price benefit for compact yarn on the trade-market, this is no longer the case. Today, there is no up-payment for compact yarn anymore. But the significant production benefits of compact spinning still remain prevalent up until this day. Though, most technologies lack consistency and a propper technology. Many spinning mills have witnessed failure in the past. Prior technology clearly disappointed. Technology has matured since then and it has now become possible to adopt compact spinning at about the same cost as conventional spinning – which makes compact spinning lucrative and profitable.
