Yarn Product Classification

Classified by yarn material

Pure spinning

Pure spinning yarn is a yarn spun from a fiber material, such as cotton yarn, wool yarn, hemp yarn and spun yarn. This type of yarn is suitable for making pure textiles.

Blended yarn

Blended yarn is a yarn spun from two or more fibers, such as polyester and cotton blended yarn, wool and viscose blended yarn, etc. This type of yarn is used in fabrics that highlight the advantages of the two fibers.

Classified by yarn thickness

Coarse yarn

Coarse special yarn refers to yarns of 32 tex and above (18 British counts and below in British system). This kind of yarn is suitable for thick and thick fabrics, such as tweed, plain cloth and so on.

Special yarn

Middle special yarn refers to 21-32 special yarn (19-28 British counts in British system). This kind of yarn is suitable for medium and thick fabrics, such as medium plain cloth, gabardine, khaki and so on.

Fine yarn

Fine special yarn refers to the yarn of 11-20 special (29-54 British count). This type of yarn is suitable for thin fabrics, such as muslin, poplin and so on.

Special yarn

Extra-fine special yarn refers to yarns of 10 tex and below (58 British counts and above in the British system). This type of yarn is suitable for high-end fine fabrics, such as high-count shirts and worsted close-fitting sweaters.

Classified by spinning system

Worsted yarn

Worsted yarn, also called combed yarn, refers to yarn spun through a combing process, including combed cotton yarn and combed wool yarn. The parallel straightness of the fibers in the yarn is high, the evenness, smooth, but the cost is higher, and the yarn count is higher. Combed yarns are mainly used as raw materials for high-end fabrics and knitwear, such as fine spinning, gabardine, tweed, sweaters, etc.

Woolen yarn

Woollen yarn is also called carded wool yarn or carded cotton yarn, which refers to the yarn that is carded according to the general spinning system and does not go through the combing process. Woolen yarn contains more short fiber, poor parallel straightness of fiber, loose structure, more hairy, low yarn count and poor quality. Such yarns are mostly used as raw materials for general fabrics and knitwear, such as woolen fabrics, cotton fabrics above medium and special grades, etc.

Waste spinning

Waste spinning refers to yarn spun from textile waste (waste cotton) or mixed with low-grade raw materials. The yarn is of poor quality, softness, unevenness, a lot of impurities, and poor color. Generally, it is only used to weave low-grade fabrics such as coarse cotton blankets, terry cloth and packaging cloth.

Classified by spinning method

Ring spun yarn

Ring spinning refers to the yarn made by twisting on the ring spinning machine using traditional spinning methods. The fibers in the yarn are entangled and connected inside and outside, and the yarn structure is tight and the strength is high. However, because a set of mechanisms is used to complete the twisting and winding work at the same time, the production efficiency is limited. This kind of yarn has a wide range of uses and can be used in all kinds of fabrics, braids, and ropes.

Free end yarn

Free-end yarn means that the fibers are condensed and twisted into yarn in the flow field of the high-speed rotating rotor or in the electrostatic field. The twisting and winding of the yarn are completed by different parts, so the efficiency is high and the cost is high. Lower.

Air yarn

Airflow yarn is also called rotor spinning, which uses airflow to condense and twist fibers in a spinning cup that rotates at a high speed and output into yarn. Compared with ring-spun yarn, the yarn structure is fluffy, wear-resistant, evenly even, and more brightly dyed, but has lower strength. This type of yarn is mainly used for bulky and thick plain fabrics in woven fabrics, flannel fabrics with good hand feeling and knitted products.

Electrostatic yarn

Electrostatic yarn is a yarn made by condensing and twisting fibers using an electrostatic field. The structure of the yarn is the same as that of the air flow yarn, and its use is similar to that of the air flow yarn.

Vortex yarn

The vortex yarn is a fixed vortex spinning tube instead of the yarn spun by a spinning cup that rotates at a high speed. The yarn has more bending fibers, low strength, and poor evenness, but it has better dyeing and wear resistance. This type of yarn is mostly used for pile fabrics, such as fleece, sportswear and so on.

Dust cage yarn

Dust cage yarn, also called friction spinning, is a yarn made by condensing and twisting fibers using a pair of dust cages. The yarn has a layered structure, the core of the yarn has a large twist and a hard hand, and the outer layer has a small twist and a soft hand. This type of yarn is mainly used in industrial textiles, decorative fabrics, and can also be used on outer clothing (such as work clothes, protective clothing).

Non-free end yarn

The non-free-end yarn is another yarn spun by a new spinning method that is different from the free-end yarn, that is, in the process of twisting the fiber, the two ends of the fiber strip are in a gripped state, not the free end. This new type of yarn includes self-twisted yarn, air-jet yarn and core-spun yarn.

Self-twisted yarn

Self-twisted yarn is a new type of non-free end yarn. It is twisted by a reciprocating roller to twist two yarns. When the yarns are close in parallel, they twist and twist each other to form yarns. . This kind of yarn has uneven twist, and there are untwisted sections on a yarn, so the yarn strength is low. It is suitable for the production of wool yarn and chemical fiber yarn, and is more suitable for use on colorful fabrics and suede fabrics.

Air jet yarn

Air-jet yarn is a yarn spun by using high-speed jet vortex generated by compressed air to twist the yarn, after wrapping and twisting. The yarn structure is unique, the yarn core is almost untwisted, the outer fiber is randomly wrapped, the yarn is looser, the hand feels rough, and the strength is low. This kind of yarn can be processed into woven fabrics and knitted fabrics, making men's and women's tops, shirts, sportswear and work clothes, etc.

Core spun yarn

Core-spun yarn is a yarn spun with filament as the core and wrapped short fiber. It has the advantages of core filament and wrapped short fiber, making the yarn performance more than single fiber. Commonly used yarn core filaments include polyester filaments, nylon filaments, and spandex filaments. Outsourcing staple fibers are commonly used in cotton, polyester/cotton, acrylic, wool, etc. Core-spun yarn is mainly used as sewing thread, shirt fabric, burnt-out fabric and stretch fabric.

Classified by yarn use

Woven yarn

Weaving yarn refers to the yarn used for processing woven fabrics, which is divided into warp yarn and weft yarn. The warp yarn used as the longitudinal yarn of the fabric has the characteristics of larger twist, higher strength and better wear resistance; the weft yarn used as the transverse yarn of the fabric has the characteristics of smaller twist, lower strength, but softness.

Knitting yarn

Knitting yarns are yarns used for knitted fabrics. The yarn quality requirements are high, the twist is small, and the strength is moderate.

Other yarns

Including sewing thread, embroidery thread, braided thread, miscellaneous thread, etc. According to different uses, the requirements for these yarns are different.

Single yarn

Single yarn refers to a yarn in which only one fiber bundle is twisted. It can be spun into a pure spun yarn from one raw material to form a pure textile fabric, or it can be composed of two or more raw materials to form a blended yarn, thereby forming a blended fabric.

Strand

A strand is a thread formed by twisting two or more single yarns. Its strength and wear resistance are better than single yarn. At the same time, the strands can also be combined and twisted in a certain way to obtain double-twisted strands, such as double strands, three strands and multiple strands. Mainly used for sewing thread, braided thread or medium-thick and strong fabrics.

Monofilament Monofilament is composed of a single fiber filament. Its diameter is determined by the thickness of the fiber filament. Generally only used for processing thin fabrics or knitted fabrics, such as nylon socks, veil and so on.

Textured yarn

Textured yarn is obtained by deforming synthetic fiber filaments from straightening to crimping, and is also called textured yarn or processed yarn. Textured yarns include high-elastic yarns, low-elastic yarns, bulked yarns and network yarns.

High elastic yarn

High-elastic yarns or high-elastic textured yarns have high stretchability, while bulkiness is average. Mainly used for stretch fabrics, mainly nylon high stretch yarn.

Low stretch yarn

Low stretch yarn or deformed stretch yarn has moderate stretchability and bulkiness. It is mostly used in knitted fabrics, mostly low-stretch polyester yarn.

Bulked yarn

Bulk yarn has low stretchability and high bulkiness. It is mainly used for fabrics that require good bulkiness, such as wool, underwear or outerwear. Its typical representative is acrylic bulked yarn, also called cashmere.

Network wire

Network yarn, also known as cross-entangled yarn, is formed by entanglement of part of the yarn in the process of making chemical fiber yarn before it is formed. This silk feels soft, bulky, and has good wool-like effects, and is mostly used for women's styles. The popular golf is also woven with this silk.

Special yarn

Special yarn (special yarn), also known as fancy yarn: refers to the special structure and appearance obtained by processing the fiber or yarn with special raw materials, special equipment or special technology in the process of spinning and threading. Effect yarn is a kind of yarn with decorative effect in yarn products. Since 2012, at the International Yarn and Fabric Exhibition, special yarns and fabrics have been dazzling. Special yarn woven products can be used as fabrics for coats, suits, outerwear, shirts and skirts; fancy yarn knitting products are widely used to make knitted garments; in addition, fancy yarns are also widely used in weaving sweaters , Hats, scarves, ties, carpets, etc., as well as decorative fabrics such as yarn releases, curtain fabrics, bedding, and high-end wall-mounted materials. Special yarns use a wide range of raw materials, including cotton, wool, silk, hemp, chemical fibers, and scraps. There are many special yarn production methods, and different methods can be combined to form new fancy yarn products. Mainly divided into six categories, more than 70 kinds.
