Key Topics to Revise

1

What is Yarn?

  • A yarn is a continuous strand of textile fibers or filaments twisted together to form a thread-like structure suitable for weaving or knitting.
  • Yarns are made through a process called spinning.
  • Natural fibers (like cotton, wool) are spun mechanically, while synthetic fibers (like polyester, nylon) are spun chemically using a spinneret.
2

Types of Yarns Based on Fiber Length

  • Yarns are classified into two main types based on fiber length: staple yarns and filament yarns.
  • Staple yarns are made from short fibers (like cotton or wool) and have a fuzzy, warm texture.
  • Filament yarns are made from long, continuous fibers (like silk or synthetic fibers) and are smooth and lustrous.
3

Types of Filament Yarns

  • Filament yarns are of two types: continuous filament and textured filament.
  • Continuous filament yarns are smooth, strong, and lustrous with no protruding ends.
  • Textured filament yarns are modified to have crimps, loops, or coils to increase bulk, absorbency, and comfort.
4

Types of Yarns Based on Construction

  • Simple yarns: Uniform in structure — include single, ply, and cord yarns.
  • Double yarns: Two or more strands used together but not twisted — used for softness and luster.
  • Novelty (fancy) yarns: Irregular in thickness, used for decorative effects in fabrics.
