ABSTRACT:
A fabric winding process and apparatus for preparing a fabric pattern. A winding machine comprises a rotary drive mechanism for intermittent rotation of two card-holding chucks, and a thread-guide carriage which is translatable along a path adjacent a card held by the chucks parallel to the axis of rotation of the card. The drive mechanism and carriage are coupled such that when the winding card is not rotating, the carriage shifts a distance corresponding to a selected number of turns on the winding card such that a yarn of a selected color is wound about the card at all points on the card corresponding to the color in the desired fabric pattern. In this way, a desired pattern may be prepared without the necessity of threading or knotting several yarns together.
