This yarn collection covers 69 products supplied to knitting and weaving mills, including single-fibre and blended yarns in ring spun, open-end, vortex, melange and recycle constructions. Counts range from coarse NE 8/1 to fine NE 60/1, suitable for both knitted and woven fabric production.

Available Compositions and Counts

Compositions include 100% Cotton, 100% Polyester, 100% Viscose, 100% Bamboo, 100% Modal, Cotton/Polyester in 20/80, 30/70, 50/50, 60/40 and 70/30 ratios, Cotton/Modal 50/50, Bamboo/Cotton 50/50, Cotton/Viscose 50/50, Cotton/Tencel 50/50, Tencel/Cotton 70/30, Polyester/Viscose 67/33 and Recycle Cotton/Polyester 50/50.

Spinning Method and Properties

Ring spun yarns in this collection are produced for both knit and woven applications, including melange variants where fibres of different shades are blended before spinning to create a mixed, non-uniform colour effect. Open-end (OE) spinning is used for cotton, cotton/polyester and viscose yarns, generally producing a bulkier, more even yarn compared to ring spinning at a given count. Slub construction is available in Modal/Cotton 50/50 for a textured, irregular surface effect. Recycle Cotton/Polyester 50/50 yarns incorporate recycled fibre content within the blend. Colours across the collection include raw/undyed options as well as named shades such as Black, Antrasit, Grey, Dark Blue, Navy, Blue/Gray, Baby Blue, Brown, Beige, Dark Green, Green, Olive, Light Green, Sea Green, Grey/Green and Burgundy, numbered from 101 to 501.

Typical End Uses

Knitted constructions in this range are directed at circular and flat knitting for apparel fabrics, while woven constructions serve shirting, bottom weight and general woven fabric production. Buyers sourcing for specific processes can review the Ring, Open-End and Woven collections for narrower selections by spinning method.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between ring spun and open-end yarn?

Ring spinning twists fibres through a traveller and ring mechanism, generally producing a finer, stronger yarn suited to higher counts, while open-end spinning uses a rotor to form yarn directly from carded sliver, typically giving a bulkier, more uniform yarn at a lower cost for coarser counts.

What does melange mean in yarn terms?

Melange yarn is produced by blending fibres of different colours, often dyed and undyed or two dyed shades, before or during spinning, resulting in a mixed-tone yarn rather than a solid, uniformly dyed one.

Which counts are available for cotton/polyester blends?

Cotton/Polyester blends in this collection are available in 20/80, 30/70, 60/40 and 70/30 ratios, spanning multiple NE counts depending on the specific ring or open-end construction selected.
