Yorkshire Twiner

YORKSHIRE TWINER

A mule machine used for doubling and twisting two or more threads together at one operation. It has similar general features to the spinning mule, but in the Yorkshire twiner, the spindle carriage is stationary and the creel carrying the supply yarns moves out while twist is inserted and in while the yarn is wound on the spindles in cop form. The supply yarns can be cops, cones or other packages. The yarns can be dry-twisted, or wet doubled, in which case a trough for water or a wetting-out compound is situated between two flannel-covered drag boards.
