Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9532140A1] A spandex supply package (10) (e.g., bobbin) having a small difference between the maximum and minimum % package relaxation values is prepared by winding the spandex (12) at different pre-set speeds in different segments of the package (10). The package (10) provides a very low frequency of broken filaments in knitting operations as compared to rewound conventionally prepared packages.
