This collection offers recycled cotton/polyester open-end yarn for knitting mills sourcing coloured yarns without piece dyeing. The blend combines recycled cotton and recycled polyester in a 50/50 ratio, spun on open-end (rotor) equipment across a range of counts. Colours are supplied as spun, covering black, grey, blue, brown, beige, green and burgundy tones.

Available Compositions and Counts

Composition: Cotton/Polyester 50/50 (recycled). NE counts: NE 8/1, NE 10/1, NE 12/1, NE 14/1, NE 16/1, NE 20/1, NE 24/1, NE 30/1.

Spinning Method and Properties

Open-end (rotor) spinning twists fibres directly from a sliver fed into a rotor, producing yarn without the roving and ring-twisting stages used in ring spinning. This method is well suited to recycled fibre blends, as it tolerates shorter and more variable fibre lengths than ring spinning while running at higher production speeds. Open-end yarns typically show a slightly bulkier, more irregular surface compared to ring-spun yarns of the same count, with a characteristic loftier hand.

Typical End Uses

Suited to knitted fabrics such as jersey, fleece and interlock where a recycled fibre content and a range of ready colours are required without a separate dyeing step. Related options include Open-End yarns in other blends, Knit yarn collections, and Woven Open-End Recycle Colorful for woven applications using the same recycled colour range.
