ABSTRACT
Yarn plying effects various properties of yarn. Particularly the amount and direction of twist in plied yarn exerts critical effects upon mechanical properties of yarn. The balanced ply structure is that structure when maximum fibres are parallel to the yarn axis and at this stage the plied yarn has the maximum strength. This structure can be achieved when the direction of spinning and the folding twist is opposite and the twist multiplier is 4.
