• It is a well-known fact that, when every product
  we create is great, a business will flourish. For
  the stakeholders of the natural fibre supply
  chain, access to good quality raw materials plays
  a vital role.
• Good quality raw materials will help reelers,
  weavers craft the best yarns and exquisite
  fabrics. To bring out the best natural fibres, a
  weaver must differentiate between high-quality
  and low-quality yarn.

A simple guide to help you understand the A to Z
of yarns

• A lengthy, continuous strand of entangled fibres
  is called yarn.. Textile yarn is manufactured
  with natural fibers from substances such as wool
  from sheep, silk from silkworms, or cotton and
  linen from plants.
• It can also be created with synthetic, or
  man-made, fibres derived from a variety of
  substances like nylon, acrylic, and polyester.
  Yarn is created by spinning. It can be spun
  manually or by a machine. Weaving yarn has a
  tight twist, a smooth exterior, and significant
  longitudinal strength.

Types of yarns

• There are 3 types of basic yarns, which are
  further classified into different categories
  based on their characteristics and type of
  spinning.

Staple fibre yarn or Spun yarn

• Staple fibre yarns are made by twisting together
  short fibres. Spun yarn is classified into
  various categories based on the direction of
  twist.
• S twist yarn Yarns are twisted in clockwise
  direction, the inclination angle of fibres makes
  the shape S
• Z twist yarn Yarns are twisted in
  anti-clockwise direction, the inclination angle
  of fibres makes the shape Z
• Zero twist or twist less yarn Untwisted staple
  fibres are wrapped with hot water soluble
  filaments.  During processing, these filaments
  are dissolved in hot water after weaving

• Spun yarn is classified into various categories
  based on the degree of twist.
• Low twist yarn Low twist yarn has a soft feel,
  poor lustre and less clarity in the structure.
  Fabrics made of this yarn have poor pilling
  properties
• Normal twist yarn As per the spinning
  specifications, this yarn has a normal twist
• High twist yarn With a higher degree of twist,
  this yarn enhances the fabric texture. It has
  better pilling properties with a good lustre

• Based on the spinning technology used, the spun
  yarn can be classified into two groups
• Ring frame yarn Spindle-based method of spinning
  is used to create ring frame yarn
• Open-end yarn  A rotor spinning machine is used
  to create open-end yarn. It is considered cheaper
  than ring frame yarn
• Ply yarn  Ply yarns are made by twisting
  together 2 or more single yarns. There are 2
  types of Ply yarns Single-ply yarn and Multi-ply
  yarn
• Filament yarn Filament yarns  are made by
  winding mostly one or more short natural fibres

Yarns in woven fabric manufacturing

• Warp Yarn Warp yarn is positioned in the
  longitudinal direction of a woven fabric and is
  used to make a weaving beam.
• Weft yarn Weft yarn is used for cross
  interlacement through warp beams.

12
How to spot good yarns?

• Magnificent fabrics can be weaved only with good
  quality yarn. Good quality yarn includes yarn
  that have
• No splits
• No breaks in the plies
• Devoid of colour bleed

13
How to determine the quality of yarn?

• The Twist Test
• This test is used to determine the spiral
  disposition of the yarn . Twisting improves the
  strength of yarn, however  too many twists places
  the fibres at the right angle to the axis of
  yarn, resulting in the decrease of yarn strength.
  Different twists are given to yarn, based on its
  use in the fabric. Standard warp twist is used to
  incorporate maximum twists for warp yarns.

14

• Parameters for yarn quality
• Several parameters are used to ascertain the
  quality of different yarn types. 
• Denier, Ne, Lea
• Denier is used to determine the  thickness of
  fibres or filaments used in the silk yarn.
  Greater the denier value, heavier, thicker and
  cheaper the yarn. 

15

• Lesser the denier value, the lighter, thinner and
  more expensive the yarn. For cotton yarn it is
  called count and unit is Ne, it is used to
  express the size of the cotton yarn.
• It refers to the  number of times the length of
  one pound of yarn can be divided by 840. For
  linen the thickness is measured as Lea

16

• Yarn elongation
• The elongation of yarn is vital for weaving.
  Higher yarn elongation permits better ability to
  bear the tension and jerk during weaving
  processes.
• Degree of Hairiness
• The degree of hairiness refers to the number of
  fibres protruding from the base of the yarn.
  Lesser value of hairiness, indicates yarns have
  lower chances of pilling.
