The intended product is the starting point for a yarn inquiry. Send the fibre composition, count, ply, twist, colour and desired feel, together with the knitting or weaving use. Include a reference yarn or sample specification if you have one.
Production Process
Spinning Mill
Ask about natural-fibre yarn for knitting or weaving. Start with the intended use, then share the fibre, yarn count, ply, twist and colour requirements you know.
Buyer and technical guide
Start with the yarn specification and end use
A yarn specification only works when it is connected to the intended knitting or weaving use.
Process basics
How the process works
Spinning turns prepared fibres into yarn by drawing the fibre strand and adding twist. Yarn count describes linear density; ply identifies the number of yarn strands combined.
The decision
Define the yarn requirement
Connect composition, count, ply and twist to the machine, construction and product the yarn is intended to support.
- fibre composition or blend requirement
- yarn count or linear density
- ply, twist and colour
- package and labelling requirement
- intended knitting or weaving application
Before an order
