    An Overview of Knotting of Yarn

    This document provides an overview of knotting yarn. There are two main methods of joining yarn ends: knotting and splicing. Knotting involves tying two threads together or tying a thread to an object to form a joint called a knot. There are different types of knots used for different purposes, such as continuity knots to maintain continuity of yarn and clearing knots to replace faulty yarn. A good knot should be easy to tie, resist slippage, and not get caught or jammed during processing. Common knots discussed include the dog knot, fisherman's knot, reef knot, and weaver's knot. Factors that affect knot quality include resistance to slippage, size, and tail end length.

    Yarn

    Joining:

    The ends of yarn joined by knot is called knotting & the end of yarn joined by knotless join is
    called
    splicing.
    So there are two methods of yarn joining :1. Knotting
    2. Splicing
    3. Bends
    4. Hitches

    What is Knotting ?

    Knotting is tying two threads to each other or to tie thread to any other object.

    The joint between one thread to another or object is called Knot.

    Hitches - used when attaching rope, cord and yarn to an object or when an object is used as an
    anchor for the knot.

    Yarn knot
    There are two main purpose of introducing knots in textile.

    Continuity knots:- are used for continuity of yarn.

    Clearing knot:- are to substitute yarn faults during yarns clearing.

    A knot should satisfy various requirements for different uses in textile industry which areas
    under

    It should be easy to tie.

    It should Have good resistance to slippage.

    It should be of size & shape that gives a little chance of catching or jamming from warp
    beam to cloth fell.

    Different types of knots

    Dog knot:- tying of dogs knot is simple and quick but it is bulkier than weavers and
    fishermans knot. It is only suitable for creeling and these knots will not be incorporated
    into the fabric.

    Fishermans knot:-it is most popular but it is not at all convenient to lie by hand. They
    have a diameter 3-4 times that of parents yarn and are popular for filament , cotton ,
    woolen , worsted and blends.

    Modern knotting machine


    There are 3 verities of fishermans knot i.e.
    1. SS
    2. SL
    3. LL
    With S&L denoting the direction of 2 ends with the component over knots.

    Reef

    knot

    :-

    The reef knot can be considered an unsafe knot when human life depends on it. If used to tie two
    ends of any rope or cord together this knot will spill easily when any of the ends are tugged.
    The knot will spill into reversed half hitches and will then continue to slip resulting in the two
    joined
    ends
    coming
    apart.

    Weavers knot :

    The weavers knot has a number of variations which for ease of classification are called
    weavers knot.

    The method of tying each knot is similar and they are usually started with both strands to
    be joined held in the left hand. The knot is then worked with the right hand to bring it into
    shape.

    It has very less slippage.

    Weavers knot is specially used in cotton threads.

    Weavers knots are a vital part of the textile industry. Without them all traditional woven
    materials would undone.

    Factors affecting quality of a yarn knot


    1. Resistance to slippage :- most of the knot fail in down stream process is due to slippage.
    Degree of slippage depends on fiber type blend , composition , linear density.
    2. Size of knot:- A bigger knot causes serious obstruction as it passes through small path
    like heald eyes, reed dent and knitting needles etc. it leads to uneven tension and results
    in breakage.
    3. Knot tail ends:- the tail length should basically be judged from the linear density and
    rigidity. For yarn of lower D and rigidity , the tail length should be short and vice versa
    for greater LD and rigidity.
