I am only interested in what happens when the fibres actually come togetherNone of the web sources make any sense, are too vague in their descriptions so far (Wiki, Youtube videosall rubbish so far)I want to understand this though: Fibres get fed into the open-end spinning machine through one entrance, where they get picked up by a rotating arm, and that then doeswhat, actually? Wraps it around a cylinder? And then, what next?
I've had good luck with Riders International and BMB blankets.
don't buy bran new rugs as they cost a fortune and the horses ruin them anyway try and get a second hand 1 that is in good condition this way u save money and still get good rugs i would suggest a heavyweight rug as arabs don't have thick coat but if they are in the stables at night then stick to a medium weight
I love Schneiders blankets.I have a couple arabians and a pony, and their blankets fit these type horsesGo to their website, they are in Cleveland OHThe blankets last a long time, and they have many types of weights and classificationsBest there is.

No, you got it sort of wrongThe spinning arm only rotates the strand that is forming - the yarnIt is the twist that compresses the fibres together, which then create a lot of friction, and they don't slide past each other but hang on tight to each other, and that keeps it all together making a long strand out of short fibresWith wool, which has short little barbs on the outside surface, they grab onto each other and hold tightRubbing wool fibres together matts them and makes feltOther fibres, like cotton, are very smooth, so you need to put a lot of twist (I mean, a whole lot of twist!) to make them hold together(I'm spinning cotton now, and have to remember to put in a lot more twist than I think is possible) It's the twist that pushes the fibres tight up against each other, and it is the friction that keeps them togetherTo break any yarn, just untwist them.
