This collection covers polyester yarn for knitting and weaving mills, including 100% polyester and polyester blended with cotton or viscose. Counts range from NE 8/1 to NE 40/1, spun as ring melange, open-end (OE) or recycle, supplied in raw and a range of named melange colours for direct use in production.

Available Compositions and Counts

Compositions in this range include 100% Polyester, Cotton/Polyester in 20/80, 30/70, 50/50, 60/40 and 70/30 ratios, and Polyester/Viscose 67/33. Yarn counts are offered from NE 8/1 up to NE 40/1, covering coarser counts for wovens and finer counts suited to fine gauge knitting. Colours include shades such as Black, Antrasit, Grey, Navy, Dark Blue, Blue/Gray, Baby Blue, Brown, Beige, Dark Green, Green, Olive, Light Green, Sea Green, Grey/Green and Burgundy, in addition to raw/ham options depending on the specific product.

Spinning Method and Properties

Most of the polyester and polyester blend yarns in this collection are ring spun melange, where pre-dyed and raw fibres are blended before spinning to produce a consistent melange effect running through the yarn rather than applied afterward. Ring spinning generally produces a yarn with a compact structure and relatively even surface compared to open-end spinning. Open-end (OE) spun options are also available, a method typically used for coarser counts and higher production speeds, along with recycle cotton/polyester yarn spun from recycled fibre content. Polyester as a fibre contributes strength, dimensional stability and lower moisture absorption, while cotton and viscose blends add softness and handle to the finished yarn.

Typical End Uses

These yarns are used in both knitted and woven fabric production, depending on spinning method and count. Ring melange qualities are commonly used for knitted t-shirts, sweatshirts and fleece, while OE and recycle qualities are suited to woven fabrics. Related collections include Ring, Open-End and Melange yarns.
