Märgketrus

Märgketrus is a textile manufacturing process for spinning fibers into yarn using water. In this method, a stream of water is directed onto the fiber stock as it enters the spinning system. The water acts as a lubricant, reducing friction between the fibers. This lubrication allows for finer yarns to be spun, especially with staple fibers like cotton or flax. The water also helps to draw the fibers closer together and can aid in the consolidation of the yarn. After spinning, the yarn is typically dried. Märgketrus is particularly effective for fibers that are difficult to spin dry due to their shortness or coarseness. It is a common technique in the production of cotton and linen yarns. The process can also contribute to a smoother, more lustrous yarn finish. Historically, märgketrus played a significant role in the mechanization of textile production, enabling increased yarn output and quality. Modern spinning machinery often incorporates elements of märgketrus, or variations thereof, to optimize yarn characteristics and processing efficiency.
