Abstract: The method of treating large diameter yarns by leasing a plurality of large diameter filling yarns into a woven fabric form of a type where the warp yarns are relatively small, and in which the filling yarn may be easily unwoven, treating the filling yarn either by means of a color, or bulking, or both of them and then unweaving the woven fabric to provide a treated yarn for reworking into various forms such as fabrics and carpets and the like.
Abstract: Filling yarns are removed from a fabric woven on a double pick needle loom and then packaged on a revolving bobbin for subsequent re-use by interposing a ring and ring traveler through which traveler the yarn is led from the fabric to the bobbin package with a traverse of the yarn parallel to the axis of the bobbin, the traveler serving to compensate for the uneven flow rate of the filling yarn from the woven fabric.
