Method and apparatus for producing a yarn

A method of producing at least one yarn formed by spinning at least two individual fibers, comprising the following steps:

• providing at least two individual fibers to be spun to form the at least one yarn to be produced,
• feeding the at least two provided fibers to a spinning device comprising at least one spindle element or bobbin element (10) via a guide device comprising a plurality of guide elements,
• spinning the fed fibers in the spinning device, forming the at least one yarn to be produced,
• characterized in that
• the at least two individual fibers are fed to the spinning device via at least two separate guide elements that are arranged such that they are spatially separated from each other in at least one spatial direction;
• wherein the at least two guide elements each have a cylindrical basic shape and are coaxially arranged such that they are spatially separated from each other in the direction of their respective central axes;
• wherein the at least two individual fibers are brought together at a fiber merging point, wherein the fiber merging point forms an apex of a spinning triangle facing the spinning device, wherein the angle of the spinning triangle in the region of the apex facing the spinning device is less than or equal to 90°;
• and
• wherein the free length of a respective fiber between the guide device and the fiber merging point in the fiber guiding direction is in a range of between 4 and 20 cm.
