In this thesis, the formation and some properties of the loop yarn by using a combined hollow-ring spinning system were studied. There were five main subjects in this study:(1) to evaluate the spinnability of this spinning system; (2) to estimate twists in the loop yarn; (3) to establish a model of the wrap thread length of the fixing thread in the loop yarn; (4) to estimate the yarn appearance and the loop size; and (5) to test the loop yarn's tensile properties. Several conclusion from this study were as follows: The model of the wrap thread length of the fixing thread in the loop yarn could be used to reckon the amount of yarn materials. The geometrical models of the loop yarn structure were able to predict the loop size. Therefore, it was useful for the application of the computer- aided loop yarn simulation. While the wrap twist(tpc) of the fixing thread before being backtwisted increased, the loop density(loops/100 cm) would increase, but the loop size would decrease. The loop density and size all increased by increasing the overfed speed ratio of the effect thread to the core thread. The orifice of the core thread duct should be positioned above the axis of the hollow-spindle. It was advantageous to spin uniform loops while the duct closed to the effect thread rollers. An attached fixing thread flyer would increase the tension of the fixing thread and its stability. For the selection of the core thread material, the untwisted phenomenon of the OE yarn is less than that of the ring yarn. The flexural rigidity of the effect thread would affect the formation effect of the loop. When the loop yarn was extended, the component thread would be broken respectively. Therefore, it showed a peculiar morphology of failure. While the loop yarn was knitted, the loop migration decreased by increasing the tensile breaking strength of the loop yarn at the rupture of the effect thread.
