Improvements in or relating to the Spinning and Dyeing of Yarns."
I, JAMES LONGMORE, Engineer, of 34, Leadenhall Street, in the City of London,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows;-
.
-
A difficulty is experienced in spinning coloured yarns dyed before spinning,
as hitherto the dyeing has had to be done in the sliver. This has not proved
a satisfactory process owing to cost, delicacy of sliver, and difficulty of handling
same, necessitating the expense of recombing and further the difficulty of easily
working the small quantities usually required to a shade.
In this process any quantity of yarn that may be required to each colour
desired can be weighed out in the rove or slubbing. The slubbing or rove receives
an extra twist sufficient to convert it into yarn that will stand the operations of
dyeing in hank in the usual way without being roughened or spoilt. After
dyeing the hanks of slubbing are rewound and the excess of twist removed on a
reverse twist frame, it can then be treated and spun as ordinary slubbing or rove,
and the colours spun direct on to pirn or bobbin. One or more colours can be
spun on the same spinning frame, or one or more coloured rovings put up to one
end thus producing fancy shades or melange colours as desired.

Improvements in or relating to the Spinning and Dyeing of Yarns.
I, JAMES LONGMORE, Engineer, of 34, Leadenhall Street, in the City of London,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is
to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:-
A difficulty is experienced in spinning coloured yarns dyed before spinning,
as hitherto the dyeing has had to be done in the sliver. This has not proved
a satisfactory process owing to the cost, delicacy of sliver, and the difficulty of
handling the same, necessitating the expense of recombing and further there is a
difficulty in easily working the small quantities usually required to a shade.
According to this invention any quantity of yarn that may be required to
each colour desired, being weighed out in the rove or slubbing, is given an extra
twist sufficient to temporarily convert it into yarn that will stand the operations
of dyeing in hank in the usual way without being roughened or spoilt.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:-
1. In the manufacture of yarn from dyed fibre imparting for the purpose
described extra twist to the slubbing or rove prior to its subjection to the dye.
2. In the manufacture. of yarn from dyed fibre imparting for the purpose
described extra twist to the slubbing or rove prior to its subjection to the dye,
and removing this extra twist subsequent to the dyeing operation.
