Abstract
A spinning process provides for opening at least one sliver to single fibers and for depositing the single fibers on a moving collecting surface in the form of an expanded fiber veil. During transport on the collecting surface and, if required on a moving drafting surface downstream thereof, the fiber veil is condensed, transversely to its direction of motion, to a strand. The roving-like strand is transported through a nipping line and twisted to a yarn under the action of a rotating air stream. Fiber ends are hereby spread out from the strand, which are helically wrapped around the yarn.
