The Picker/Opener teases out entanglements and blends the fiber t

give consistency in further processing. Blending of fiber types an

colours can easliy be accomplished at this stage giving a complethomogeneous blend. The fiber is thrown into a collection room wherconditioning oils are applied.

The function of the Draw Frame is to create a roving consistent in

size over its entire length. The draw frame blends multiple rovingsinto one fiber stream and uses controlled drafting to size the output

roving. Multiple passes through the draw frame results in strong,uniform roving of a size that can be easily managed at the spinner.

Blending at this stage can create very unique end products.

The Spinners draw in rovings and direct them through a controlled drafting sysconsistent fiber stream. This fiber stream is then twisted into a finished single

Draft, twist per inch and other production values and easily changed and constBoth the 4 and 8 Spindle Spinners can be adapted to ply the finished singles in

exciting effects can be created at this stage.
