What Are The Types Of Yarn

There are many kinds of yarns made of fibers, which can be basically divided into three categories according to the structure, and are divided into many small categories according to the raw materials and forming methods.

1. Ordinary yarn. It uses shorter fibers to arrange and twist the fibers to form continuous slender objects by spinning methods (such as ring spinning, spindle spinning, cap spinning, etc.). It can be divided into single yarn and strand (including single twisted strand, double twisted strand, etc.) according to structural characteristics. It can be spun from a variety of natural staple fibers or chemically chopped fibers mixed or unmixed.

2. Filament. It is a continuous object made of a single (called monofilament) or multiple combined (called multifilament) of natural long fibers (silk) or continuous fibers of chemical fibers. It can be divided into many small categories according to the variety and thickness of raw materials.

3. New type of yarn. It includes the use of new spinning methods, such as rotor spinning, electrostatic spinning, air-jet spinning, etc., using short fibers or sandwiching part of filaments to spin single yarns or synthetic strands; it also includes special processing methods, Such as filament textured yarn manufactured by shrinking and bulking, knife edge scraping and deformation, etc.; as well as new types of strands formed by combining special yarns and ordinary yarns.
