This document discusses friction spinning, also known as DREF spinning. It is an open-end spinning system that uses frictional forces between two counter-rotating rollers to twist individual fibers into yarn. The key steps in friction spinning are feeding fibers onto a drum surface where they are stacked into a bundle, wrapping around the bundle as it rotates between the rollers, and inserting twist as the yarn tail is pulled by a delivery roll. There are different types of DREF friction spinning systems including DREF-1 through DREF-3000, with DREF-2000 employing a rotating carding drum to open slivers into single fibers before carrying them into the nip of two perforated spinning drums where they are
