Textile yarn spun and twisted from staple length fiber, either natural or synthetic.

Synthetic yarn composed of one or more filaments that run the whole length of the yarn. Yarns of one filament are referred to as mono-filament; yarns of several filaments as multi-filament.

Natural fibre from the cotton plant which is spun into fine yarn.

Animal fibre; most commonly used to mean the yarn spun from the sheep.

Synthetic fiber made from a thermoplastic polymer that contain the ester functional group in their main chain. Most commonly refers to a type called polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or polyethylene succinate (PES) with a melting point from 103 – 106°C.

Polypropylene is a thermoplastic polymer used in a wide variety of applications including packaging and labeling, textiles (e.g., ropes, thermal underwear and carpets), stationery, plastic parts and reusable containers of various types, laboratory equipment, loudspeakers, automotive components, and polymer banknotes. An addition polymer made from the monomer propylene, it is rugged and unusually resistant to many chemical solvents, bases and acids.

PBT is similar to other thermoplasic polyesters. Compared to PET, PBT has a slightly lower strenth and rigidity, but a better impact resistance. The yarn has a natural stretch and can be incorporated into sports wear (most common found in swimwear).

Also called spun glass, is a material consisting of extremely fine filaments of glass that are combined in yarn and woven into fabrics. Used in making various products, such as yarns, fabrics, insulators, and structural objects or parts.

Aramid is the short term for aromatic polyamide. They are fibres, in which the chain molecules are highly oriented along the fibre axis, so the strength of the chemical bond can be exploited. The fibre is heat-resistant and of great strength. Aramid is used in materials for bulletproof vests and radial tires.

Elastane or Spandex is a polyurethane-polyurea copolymer. This synthetic fibre can be stretched from four to seven times their length, reverting to their original length when the tension is relaxed. Used for all areas where a high degree of permanent elasticity is required: hosiery, underwear, sportswear, and in woven and knitted fabrics.

Sewing threads yarns are especially made to pass rapidly through a sewing machine. It is a fine cord of a fibrous material, made of two or more filaments twisted together. The yarn has to form efficient stitches without breaking or becoming distorted.

The yarns are used for technical textile products, manufactured for non-aesthetic purposes, where function (rigidity, strength, dimension stability, design flexibility and economic viability) is the primary criterion.

Made from Polyester POY by simultaneously twisting & drawing. DTY yarn is mainly used in weaving and knitting.

Also known as Nylon. PA consists of chemical fibres and are obtained from synthetic polymers. Polyamid is very resistant and tear proof as well as elastic, stretchable and takes just a little moisture up. In addition it is extensively crease-resistant and drip-dry.

Synthetic fiber made from a polymer (Polyacrylonitrile, also known as Creslan61). PAN belongs to the family of acrylic resins. It is a hard, rigid thermoplastic material that is resistant to most solvents & chemicals, slow to burn and of low permeability to gases.
