Definition of yarn | different types of yarn | class of yarn

A.         CABLED YARN :- These type of yarn are made by twisting together two or more multi folded plied yarns. In general, it is constructed by twisting the plied yarns around each other successively in the opposite direction the preceding twist, i.e. S/Z/S or Z/S/Z. As a result, the opposite twist direction cause the plies to grip each other and maintain adherence. These yarns are hard, rough and strong Example CORDS.   B.         SINGLE YARN :- It is the simplest continuous strand of textile material composed of the following:- i)                     Continuous Filament:- These type of yarn are simplest in structures but they can be subjected to different modifying processes to change their extensibility and other properties. They are of the following types: 1) Mono filament which contains only ONE filamen...

Classification of Yarn | different class of yarn | types of yarn

From the variety of yarns that are made commercially, it would appear that there is no limit to the number of functional and aesthetic design possibilities and to the number of distinctly different yarns. Natural, regenerated, and synthetic fibers are processed alone and in multitude of blend combinations on staple yarn systems. Several combinations of continuous filament and staple fiber yarn blends are also made. Even when a yarn is made from a particular staple fiber or continuous filament, a great number of variations are possible. Through subsequent processing of a chemical or mechanical nature, basic staple or continuous filament yarns can acquire substantially different structural features that can be dramatically change the appearance and functional performance of   the original yarns. Yarns can be classified as follows Notwithstanding the seemingly infinite variety, yarns may also be conveniently classified according to their physical properties and performance c...
