Spinning Method and Properties

Open-end (OE) spinning produces a bulkier, more even yarn with a rougher surface, generally suited to everyday knitwear where softness requirements are moderate. Ring spinning, including the ring spun melange items in this collection, produces a finer, stronger and more compact yarn structure. Melange yarns are formed by blending pre-dyed or natural fibre stock before spinning, giving a heathered appearance rather than a solid shade. Slub yarns, such as the Cotton/Modal Slub 50/50, introduce intentional thickness variation along the yarn for a textured knit surface. Recycled Cotton/Polyester yarn incorporates reclaimed fibre content within the blend.

Typical End Uses

These yarns are intended for knitted fabric production, including jersey, interlock and fleece constructions for t-shirts, sweatshirts and similar knitwear. Buyers sourcing melange or open-end yarn for weaving applications can also review the related Ring, Open-End and Melange collections.
