Yarn refers to the long continuous length of interlocked threads or fibers that is used for the production of textiles, sewing, rope making, weaving, embroidery, and knitting. It comes in a number of colours, materials, and designs and can be made up of both synthetic and natural materials. This yarn is intended for sewing by machine or hand and is used by a number of textile manufacturers across the globe. Yarn can be described as single, plied, ply, one ply, or cord including hawser and cable types. Briefly read the blog to learn about the types of yarn and their uses:

These can be made up of both long and short-staple fibres. Short fibres are 60 cm long, whereas long fibres are between 80 and 120 cm long. Polyester and cotton are the most widely known and widely used spun fibres in the world which are harvested, ginned and prepared for yarn spinning. Moreover, polyester is extruded from polymers derived from natural oil and gas, whereas the other most commonly used synthetic fibres are acrylic and nylon. Animal fibres involve wool and silk, while rayon fibres are produced from wood pulp. Combining natural fibres with synthetic fibres is common in India. The most commonly used blend fibres are wool, acrylic, and cotton polyester. Yarn is being used by different textile manufacturers in India based on the characteristics of the fibres. DTMPL produces different kinds of natural, synthetic, and blended spun yarns using cotton, acrylic, nylon, and polyester fibres with modern machinery and precise processes.

There are two major types of filament yarns: multi-filament yarn and mono-filament yarn. Filament yarn is made up of either very long or continuous filaments that are twisted or simply grouped together. Mono-filament yarn consists of a single strand of filament, while multi-filament consists of two or more filament strands twisted or plied together. This can be synthetic, non-synthetic, and natural as well. They are cool, smooth, and lustrous, and thus used by a number of textile manufacturers in India, including DTMPL. This has a simple manufacturing process as compared to the spun yarn manufacturing process. Furthermore; they don’t pill or lint easily and hence are known as an effective kind of fabric throughout the world. In addition to that, a flat filament usually has poor resilience while a textured filament fabric has good resilience because of the loops and crimps it possesses.

Corn-spinning is the process of twisting fibres around existing yarns, either staple spun yarn or filament yarn, to create a sheath-core structure. Core spun yarns are two component structures with a sheath and a core where staple fibers are generally used as the sheath covering while filament yarn is used as the core. This is mainly used for enhancing the properties of the fabrics, such as their strength, stretch comfort, and durability. The production of spun yarn can be done successfully by many spinning systems, and all the systems have their own properties and features. This kind of yarn is used in both woven and knitted fabrics, especially where greater elasticity is required.

It has been identified in the above section that yarns are usually single-strand yarns, but when they are more than that, they are called compound yarns. This can also be classified as cabled, fancy, and plied cables, and most of the famous textile manufacturers are producing these kinds of yarns in India. Ply yarn is also called folded yarn, and this is a combination of two more strands that are twisted together just to make sure that the yarn stays together. This yarn holds greater durability and strength and hence is used in making hand-knitted yarns and men’s shirts. Moreover, cabled yarns are two sets of plied yarns that are twisted together just to produce a bulkier yarn. fancy yarn is used to give a variety of textures and colors to the yarn during the spinning process. The basic components of this yarn are its core or base, which works as a mediator and holds everything together.
