Spinning Method and Properties
Ring spinning twists fibres around a rotating spindle, producing yarn with a compact structure and relatively even surface compared to open-end yarn. This spinning method generally gives higher tenacity and a smoother yarn appearance, which supports finer counts and tighter knit constructions. The 100% cotton offering is produced on ring/compact frames, which further reduces hairiness. Cotton/polyester and polyester/viscose blends combine fibre properties such as polyester strength and viscose handle within a single ring spun yarn.
Typical End Uses
These ring spun yarns are intended for knitted fabric production across a range of counts and blend ratios, from coarser NE 8/1-10/1 for heavier jersey and interlock to finer NE 40/1-60/1 for lightweight knit fabrics. Buyers sourcing for weaving applications may also review the Woven Ring collection, and those looking for alternative spinning methods can compare with Open-End or Vortex yarns.
