Why only ring spinning?

Ring Spinning is the system used to make denim yarn in the 1960’s and earlier. During the 1970’s a new technology called “open-end” spinning replaced much of the former ring production.
Ring Spinning-it’s a process of inserting twist by means of a rotating spindle. Twisting the yarn and winding it on the bobbin takes place simultaneously and continuously.
Benefits of ring spinning are strength (important for wet processing) and hand feel. But the process is more expensive than open spinning.
