Spinning Method and Properties
Open-end (OE) spinning processes staple fibre through a rotor rather than a ring traveller, producing yarn with a different surface structure and hairiness profile compared with ring spun yarn, generally at higher production speeds and lower cost per kilogram. The cotton/polyester 50/50 blend combines cotton with polyester fibre in equal proportion, open-end spun for consistency across the count range. The polyester product in this collection is vortex spun, a method that uses air-jet technology to wrap fibres around a core, giving a yarn structure distinct from both ring and open-end spinning while remaining suited to woven constructions.
Typical End Uses
These yarns are positioned for woven fabric applications across the NE 8/1 to NE 40/1 range, suitable for warp and weft use depending on count and composition selected by the mill. Buyers sourcing related open-end or vortex options for other end uses can review the Open-End and Vortex collections, or the broader Woven yarn range for additional composition options.
Frequently Asked Questions
What compositions are available in this collection?
100% cotton, cotton/polyester 50/50, and 100% polyester (vortex spun) are available, each across the NE 8/1 to NE 40/1 count range.
What colour is offered?
All yarns in this collection are supplied in raw colour.
What is the difference between the open-end and vortex products in this collection?
The cotton and cotton/polyester 50/50 yarns are open-end (rotor) spun, while the 100% polyester yarn is vortex (air-jet) spun; these are distinct spinning methods producing different yarn structures.
