Yarn Tension

Yarn tension refers to the force applied to a yarn as it moves through a machine during spinning or weaving. Maintaining proper tension ensures the yarn is neither too tight nor too loose, which is essential for producing strong, uniform fabric. Too much tension can cause yarn breakage or distortion, while too little may result in loose, uneven material. Precise tension control helps achieve consistent quality, smooth operation, and efficient manufacturing. It is a critical parameter in textile production, influencing the final product's appearance, strength, and durability.
