Abstract

A method of predicting final yarn package diameter (D) during winding of yarn onto the package. The yarn is to be wound onto the package for a known period of time (TD) to obtain the final yarn package diameter. The method comprises the steps of: measuring the time (TS) for the package to grow to a known diameter (DS); predicting yarn package diameter using the correlation: EQU D=square root [k1+k2(TD/TS)] wherein k1 and k2 are empirically determined constants.
