Quality Testing & Construction- Yarn

Yarn
Yarns are the core components of all knitted and woven fabrics. Fabrics are specified according to the yarns selected and construction parameters. The yarns must have sufficient strength and elongation for fabrication. Yarn designations are standardized to make communication of yarn and fabric parameters easier and more precise. These yarn notations are used by textile mills, designers, product specifiers, apparel manufacturers, and sourcing agents to ensure product performance and consistency. Examples of yarn specifications include the size of the strand, the type of yarn, and its structure, strength, twist level (if spun), and evenness. For any fiber type, yarn properties depend on how the fibers are assembled.
