Spinning Method and Properties
Vortex spinning, also known as air-jet or MVS spinning, uses an air vortex to wrap and twist fibres into yarn in a single continuous process. Compared with open-end rotor spinning, vortex yarns typically have a smoother, more compact surface with fewer protruding fibres, while differing from ring spun yarn in the way twist and fibre alignment are generated. The cotton/polyester and viscose yarns in this collection are produced on vortex systems, while the 100% polyester item is ring spun, a method known for higher tenacity and a more traditional yarn structure built through drafting and twisting on a ring frame.
Typical End Uses
These yarns are intended for woven fabric construction, including warp and weft applications where the fibre blend, count and spinning method are selected according to the target fabric weight and handle. Buyers can also review the related Woven range, the Vortex collection for other vortex spun options, and Woven Ring for additional ring spun woven yarns.
