Skip-Eyed Creeling

SKIP-EYED CREELING

A term used in the mill to denote a method of warping very often adopted to prevent two-fold yarns from lashing together. In a creel with, say, 16 horizontal rows of bobbins creeling is started with the thread from the first bobbin in the bottom row in the first needle eye of the heck, the ninth thread goes in the second eye. Thread from bobbin No. 1 9 2 10 3 11 4 12 5 13 6 14 7 15 8 16 goes in heck eye No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 and in this order up every row in the creel. The threads are so separated that there is no fear of their breaking each other down.
