This cap spinner squeezes the thread under the stationary cap and winds them onto the bobbin. Spinning transforms tops into yarns. The tops are pulled out into fine strands known as rovings. They are then twisted to bind the thread together to give the yarn greater strength. The yarns are wound into differently shaped tools. They are then sent off for weaving and knitting.Cap spinning machine.weaving, knitting, cap spinning, cap spinner, machine, textile industry, factory
