Spinning Method and Properties
All yarns in this collection are ring spun, a method that twists fibres around a rotating spindle to produce a compact, relatively even yarn structure with good strength and a smooth surface compared to open-end spinning. The melange effect is achieved by blending differently coloured or undyed fibres before or during spinning, resulting in a mottled, heathered yarn appearance rather than a solid, uniform shade. This effect is consistent across the cotton, cotton/polyester and polyester/viscose bases offered here.
Typical End Uses
These yarns are intended for knitted fabric production, suiting circular and flat knitting applications where a heathered surface effect is required in the finished garment or fabric. Buyers sourcing wider knitting inputs can review the full Knit range, or the broader Ring spun collection for solid-shade alternatives. For woven-construction melange options, see Woven Melange.
