Winding is an important process in fabric manufacturing that involves transferring yarns from one package to another suitable package for weaving. There are several types of winding packages used depending on factors like yarn density, package shape and stability. Precision winding produces very dense packages by winding coils close together parallelly, while non-precision winding uses a single coil wound at an angle to provide stability to less dense packages. Proper yarn tensioning and guidance is required during winding using different tensioning devices and yarn guides. Yarn withdrawal from packages can be done by side or over-end methods, with different advantages and disadvantages. Balloon formation during over-end withdrawal affects the unwinding process. Winding efficiency depends on various
