The present invention provides a method of delivering warp yarn (22) into an air jet loom, comprising the steps of: providing a loom beam (24) comprising warp yarn (22) having a resin compatible coating; drawing warp yarn (22) from the loom beam (24); contacting the warp yarn (22) with a whip roll (26) having a reduced surface area such that the warp yarn (22) contacts at least a portion of the reduced surface area of the whip roll (26); and directing the warp yarn into an air jet loom. In one non-limiting embodiment of the invention, the reduced surface area of the whip roll (26) is no greater than 50 % of its equivalent surface and is textured, the reduced surface area of the whip roll (26) includes a plurality of grooves, the warp yarn (22) is a fine yarn provided at a warp yarn density of at least 50 yarns per inch and forms a warp shed (16), and a fill yarn (14) having a resin compatible coating is inserted into the warp shed.
