34 fibers in the wrap strands but there is drafting of some of the shorter fibers therein in other words the distance along each wrap strand from the point of emergence of each wrap strand at the front roller nip to the yarn formation point on bar 20 is greater than the shortest fiber length therein but about 50 80 of the 34 staple 34 length in the case of cotton wrap fibers the distance along the wrap strands measured from front rollers nip to yarn formation typically is about 1 2 34 to 7 8 34 thus in the practice of the present invention the fibers after emerging from the nip of the front rollers are loose with no twist to hold them together except for the slight twist imparted to the core strand fibers during passage from nip to bar the bar acts as a guide for transportation of fibers from the nip to the yarn formation point on the bar with further regard to positioning the bar its longitudinal axis generally may be approximately equidistant from and parallel to the axes of the two front rollers as shown in fig3 the exact position should be set to provide the appropriate fiber path as set forth above from the nip of the front rolls to the point of contact with the bar while still allowing clearance between the bar and each of the front rolls the clearance between the bar and the nip front roll should be sufficiently large that even the thickest segments of drafted strands cannot be gripped between these surfaces which would otherwise have the undersirable effect.
