Yarn

Yarn. How is it made?. Yarn construction. Yarns are made up of fibres: • Staple fibres are made from short fibres, e.g. cotton, linen, wool or cut synthetic fibres. • Filament fibres are made from long continuous fibres, e.g. silk and synthetics.

  1. Yarn How is it made?

  2. Yarn construction • Yarns are made up of fibres: • • Staple fibres are made from short fibres, e.g. cotton, linen, wool or cut synthetic fibres. • • Filament fibres are made from long continuous fibres, e.g. silk and synthetics. • • Monofilament yarns consist of a single continuous filament. • • Multifilament yarns consist of two or more filament fibres which may or may not be twisted together. • • Microfibres are made from very fine synthetic fibres, less than one denier in thickness.

  3. Different yarns • A single yarn is made by twisting a group of fibres together. • A multiple ply yarn is made by twisting together a number of single plied yarns. For example, three-ply yarn is made by twisting three single yarns together. • A cabled yarn is produced by twisting together two or more multi-plied yarns. It is often called a cable twist and results in a much stronger, regular yarn. • Yarns are twisted to hold the fibres together. The more a yarn is twisted, the stronger and thinner it will be. Different textures can be produced by spinning them either tightly, loosely or unevenly.
