    The twist will concentrate in the thinnest part of the roving; thus, when the yarn is pulled, the thicker sections with less twist will tend to thin out. Once the yarn is the desired thickness, enough twist is added to make the yarn strong. Then the yarn is wound onto the bobbin, and the process starts again. [23]

The amount of twist also affects the yarn in terms of stretchiness, strength, halo, and many other attributes.

    Yarn is composed of twisted strands of fiber, which are known as plies when grouped together. [19] These strands of yarn are twisted together in the opposite direction to make a thicker yarn. Depending on the direction of this final twist, the yarn will have either s-twist (the threads appear to go "up" to the left) or z-twist (to the right ...
