Twist variation

A process for cable-twisting together at least component yarns, including the steps of feeding at least two singles yarn as first and third yarns from a creel to form adjacent creel component yarns and feeding the creel component yarns simultaneously onto a rotating disc, whereby the creel component yarns emerge from the disc and form a balloon, the improvement comprising;

• a) feeding at least one singles yarn as a second yarn from a bucket along with a sixth yarn fed from a non-colinear and spaced apart location in the bucket and providing as a bucket component yarn;
• and
• b) feeding the bucket component yarn to a yarn guide eyelet, where the creel component yarns emerge from the balloon and wrap around the bucket component yarn to form a cable-twisted yarn comprising at least four component yarns;
• and
• wherein the at least two singles yarns feed to a first tension device which applies tension simultaneously to both the first and third yarns;
• and wherein
• a second tension device is located between the first tension device and a first yarn supply, with said second tension device applying a controlled preset tension to the first yarn.
