I. By spinning process
Combed yarn: The yarn is spun by combing process. Compared with combed
yarn, it has better material, straight and parallel fibers, good yarn quality
and fine yarn fineness.
Rough combed yarn: Yarn spun by the general spinning process. Also called
combed yarn, cotton and wool spinning is slightly different.
Second, according to the length of the fibers that make up the yarn
Filament yarn: One or more continuous filament yarns formed by merging,
twisting or deformation process.
Short fiber yarn: Short fiber is twisted and spun into yarn with a certain
fineness, and can be divided into three kinds.
Cotton-type yarn: Yarn made from raw cotton or cotton-type fibers processed
by pure spinning or blending on cotton spinning equipment.
Medium-length fiber type yarn: made of medium-length fiber processed on
cotton spinning or special equipment.
Wool type yarn: Yarn made of wool fiber or wool type fiber processed by
pure spinning or blending on wool spinning equipment.
Filament short fiber combination yarn: Yarn spun by short fiber and
filament using special method, such as core yarn, wrapped yarn, etc.
Third, according to the composition of the yarn fiber type
Pure spun yarn: Yarn spun with one kind of fiber is called pure spun yarn.
It is named with the word "pure" and the name of the fiber, such as pure
polyester yarn, pure cotton yarn, etc.
Blended yarn: Yarn spun with two or more fibers. The naming rule of blended
yarn is: when the ratio of raw material blending is different, the proportion is
larger in front; when the proportion is the same, it is arranged in the order of
natural fiber, synthetic fiber and regenerated fiber. When writing, the
proportion of raw materials and fiber types together, raw materials, the
proportion between the semicolon "/" separated. For example, polyester/cotton
(65/35) yarn, wool/acrylic (50/50) yarn, polyester/viscose (50/50) yarn,
etc.
Cross-twist yarn: Yarn made by twisting two or more different fibers or
different colors of single yarn.
Blended yarn: Yarn made by combining two kinds of filaments to improve the
performance of certain aspects.
By dyeing and finishing process
Primary color yarn: Yarn that maintains the original color of the fiber
without any dyeing process.
Bleached yarn: Yarn with bleaching process and white color. Usually refers
to cotton yarn and hemp yarn.
Dyed yarn: Yarn with various colors after dyeing process.
Color spun yarn: Yarn spun from colored fibers.
Burnt yarn: Yarn processed by burnt wool with a brighter surface.
Mercerized yarn: Yarn processed by mercerization, there are mercerized
cotton yarn and mercerized wool yarn. Mercerized cotton yarn is treated with a
certain concentration of alkali to make the yarn have a general luster of silk
and higher strength; mercerized wool yarn is to remove the scales of the fibers
in the wool yarn to make the yarn soft and too irritating to the skin.
V. Divided by yarn thread density
Cotton type yarn is divided into coarse special (No.) yarn, medium special
(No.) yarn, fine holding (No.) yarn and extra fine holding (No.) yarn according
to thickness.
Coarse special yarn: It is yarn with thread density of 32tex or more.
Medium special yarn: Yarn with a thread density of 31~21tex.
Fine special yarn: Yarn with a thread density of 11~20tex or more.
Extra-fine special yarn: Yarn with a density of 10tex or less.
Sixth, according to the structure of yarn appearance
Yarn is composed of textile fiber, with certain mechanical properties,
fineness and softness of the continuous long strip.
The so-called "yarn" is actually a generic term for "yarn" and "thread",
which is generally defined as: yarn is a continuous thread-like object made of
various textile fibers, which is fine and soft. Yarn is a continuous thread made
from various textile fibers, which is fine and soft, and has the basic
properties needed to adapt to textile processing and end product use. Yarn" and
"thread" are also often defined separately in the textile, that is, "yarn" is a
number of short fibers or filaments arranged in a near seemingly row state, and
twisted along the axial rotation, composed of a product with a certain strength
and density. A "yarn" is a product of two or more single yarns twisted together
to form a product with a certain strength and density, while a "thread" is
called a line or strand.
Yarns can be classified into different types according to different bases.
There are 10 types of yarns according to their structural appearance.
Monofilament: refers to a long length of continuous single yarn.
Compound yarn: A bundle of two or more monofilaments joined together.
Twisted filaments: compound filaments are twisted to form yarns.
Compound twisted yarn: twisted filaments are combined and twisted one or
more times to form compound twisted yarn.
Deformed yarns: Chemical fiber yarns are deformed to give them curls,
spirals, loops and other characteristics. The purpose of the process is to
increase the fluffiness stretchability and elasticity of the maker. According to
the performance characteristics of the shape-taking place, there are usually
three kinds of elastic yarns, bulky yarns and network yarns.
Single yarn: A single continuous long strip formed by spinning short
fibers.
Strand: Two or more single yarns are combined and twisted to form. If two
single yarns are combined, they are called double strands, and three or more are
called multiple strands. The strands are then combined and twisted to form a
double twisted strand.
Fancy yarn: A yarn with special appearance and color made by a special
process, including fancy yarn and fancy decorative yarn. It is formed by
twisting core yarn, decorative yarn and solid yarn on fancy twisting machine,
with special appearance form or color such as fiber knot, bamboo knot, ring,
braid, spiral and wave on the surface.
Bulky yarn: Bulky yarn is a voluminous yarn with high looseness processed
by using the heat shrinkage (thermoplastic) of prolene fiber. The yarn is made
by mixing low shrinkage properties with high shrinkage properties of liposomal
fibers in a certain ratio and then relaxing to heat set the shape. In this way,
the high-shrinkage fibers shrink a lot and form a yarn core, while the
low-shrinkage fibers shrink less and are squeezed on the surface to form an arc,
thus making a fluffy yarn.
Cored yarns: Yarns made from filament or staple fiber yarns with other
fibers or yarns wrapped around the core.
