continuous band being deliberately broken down into a stream of fibres. They are independant of one another usually in a stream of air. The great advantage of open-end spinning is that to insert twist into the yarn only the end of the yarn needs to be rotated. Whereas in conventional ring spinning the whole package of yarn must be rotated to insert twist. This limits the speed of ring spinning to a maximum of approximately 25,000rpm, whilst open-end machines are capable of in excess or 100,000rpm. However the downside is that open-end yarns are not as strong as ring spun yarns and the fabrics are not as soft handling and usually not as hard wearing - but they are less expensive.

Very valid to an article on Hand-spinning in
Alberta, but of zero significance to two centuries of industrialisation, in five continents. I can the historical reasons why this happened but I think we really need to do a split and take all the hand-spinning and hobby text into its own article- I would

These textile machines and more were invented and developed in
England and Scotland. They led to the UK as a powerhouse able to have world-historical impact. It is not Western European history, it dominated the direction of history for nearly 200 years and concentrated enormous wealth in England.

The modern spinning of textiles is a highly technical process and there are two common and very distinctly different methods. Convention ring spinning uses a continuous band (for want of a better term) of fibres which are unbroken during manufacture. By contrast open-end spinning depends on that

Yes, and thank you! As so often with
English-language entries, the article itself deals with the old handicraft and neglects the modern aspect almost entirely. I appreciate that the old crafts are interesting, and still relevant, but some of us also need information on - and terms for, I'm a

I deeply resent your completely false accusation against me. You are totally misrepresenting the issue. I did nothing more than to keep a consistently

When a similar outbreak in the USA happened, with Samuel Slater’s mill in Rhode Island followed by industrial startups in
Pennsylvania and New England and elsewhere, MANY historians say Slater broke the laws on intellectual property by stealing the English designs.
