Yarn Spinning Platform


CETI’s Yarn Spinning platform provides industrial players with pilot and pre-industrial capabilities to develop, optimise and validate yarns for textile applications.

yarn spinning platform at CETI
Covering open-end spinning and ring spinning technologies, the platform supports the accelerated development and prototyping of innovative yarns, including recycled and bio-based solutions, under conditions representative of industrial constraints.

Designed for applied R&D, material validation and scale-up, this platform enables secure transition from fiber preparation to yarn-level industrial readiness.

Applications & industrial use cases

The Yarn Spinning platform supports a wide range of industrial development and validation activities.


Accelerated development and prototyping of innovative, recycled, or bio-based yarns


Validation of fiber spinnability for open-end and ring spinning processes


Development of yarns from virgin, recycled and blended fiber streams


Optimisation of yarn structure, regularity and mechanical performance


Development of yarns adapted to downstream weaving or knitting processes


Production of representative yarns for prototyping, testing and pre-industrial validation

How CETI uses this platform


CETI uses this platform to carry out technical developments and validation work on yarn spinning processes.

It enables optimisation of fiber preparation, blending and spinning parameters under industrially relevant conditions.

The platform is used to produce yarns for testing, prototyping and pre-industrial validation.

Activities are conducted by expert teams combining know-how in fibers, spinning technologies and textile processes.

The platform supports a wide range of technical services within CETI’s service offerings.

FibER preparation & spinning capabilities


The Yarn Spinning platform integrates advanced fiber preparation equipment and two complementary spinning technologies, enabling full control of the spinning value chain.

Fiber preparation technologies:

  • Fiber opening, preparation and blending for spinning

  • Opening and blending of recycled fiber streams

  • Carding for short fibers and recycled fibers

  • Drawing frames for sliver and roving frames

Spinning technologies:

  • Open-end spinning

  • Ring spinning

These capabilities enable CETI to develop yarns from synthetic, natural and recycled fibers, including fibers produced in-house, prepared natural fibers and fibers recovered from textile waste streams.

CETI’s expertise in fiber characterisation allows optimisation of fiber preparation, blending and spinning parameters, enabling high recycled content incorporation while ensuring controlled yarn properties and reproducible performance.
