Spinning Method and Properties

Yarns are offered in ring spun, ring/carded, open-end (OE), vortex, melange and recycle versions. Ring spinning generally produces a smoother, more even yarn with higher strength, while open-end spinning is a bulkier, more economical process suited to coarser counts. Vortex spinning gives a compact yarn structure. Melange yarns are produced by blending dyed and undyed fibres before spinning, and recycle yarns incorporate recycled polyester content. Colours available include Raw as well as named shades such as Black, Antrasit, Grey, Navy, Blue/Gray, Baby Blue, Brown, Beige, Dark Green, Olive, Light Green and Sea Green across various numbered codes.

Typical End Uses

These blends are used in knitted fabrics for apparel and in woven fabrics depending on the count and spinning method chosen. Related collections include Ring, Open-End and Melange yarn ranges.
