HAND-MADE FANCY YARN SERIES
Hand knitting, its artistic characteristics, also known as "expression techniques". However, knitting crafts have formed natural, simple, fresh and concise artistic features in terms of raw materials, colors, and weaving techniques.
HELLO! INTERESTING YARNS!
Our technical team focus on the innovation of hand knitting, bringing you a wonderful experience and the joy of weaving. "The interesting part of the yarn" can be expressed in many ways. The yarn that looks, feels, knits, and wears can be pleasant, of course, can be called an interesting thread. The yarns that refect its raw materials, manufacturing process, and site, climate, environment, and importance attached to it which can also be called an interesting yarn.

Fancy yarns are made with a distinctive irregular profile which is
different from basic single and folded yarns. This profile enhances the visual
and textural properties of the fabric. Fancy yarns are also termed novelty
yarns, specialty yarns, effect yarns and fashion-oriented yarns, and can
incorporate deliberate 'defects’ or variations distributed randomly or in a
pre-defined order, along with colour to give visually and texturally attractive
difference to the fabric. Colour effects along the yarn length are introduced by
twisting different coloured yarns, spinning blended dyed fibres, or by
irregularly printing/dyeing spun yarns.
Fancy yarns are invariably used to create fashion fabrics. They are used in
ladies outerwear, mens jackets, knitwear, ties, furnishings, curtains and
upholstery. Typical fancy yarns include snarl, spiral, loop, chenille, slub and
nep. Fancy effects can also be created by changing fibre specifications such as
type, length, denier, cross-sectional shape, crimp, initial modulus, colour,
lustre, affinity for dyes and shrinkage, etc. A deliberate difference in length,
denier, cross-section and modulus of component fibres can be exploited to
position them at predetermined zones of the yarn cross-section, with short and
coarse fibres occupying the yarn surface. For increased lustre, fibres with a
flat cross-section, such as trilobal and ribbon-shaped yarns, are often
employed. Slubs of varying dimensions can be produced by using differential
fibre length in the core and effect components.
Blending of regular polyester fibres with cationic dyeable polyester can be
used to get attractive colours, contrast and fancy effects. Similarly, a blend
of fibres having varying shrinkage when combined with colour difference can also
give fancy effects. Manufacture of fancy yarns often involves plying and cabling
together different yarns of varying counts and twists. The density (tpi) and
direction of twist (S/Z) are often manipulated during plying and cabling so as
to create particular effects. Differences in individual yarn fineness is
employed to make corkscrew and spiral yarns. If the direction of twist in the
component yarns is kept different, the plying operation will produce an
unbalanced twisted spiral yarn.
One of the most popular and well-known fancy yarns is slub yarn which has
been used in various types of apparel such as suits and shirts. Corkscrew,
spiral, chenille, gimp, loop, snarl and boucle have all found acceptance in
apparels and for the production of furnishings and upholstery. Cotton melange
yarn has been highly successful in enhancing the appeal of knitted garments such
as T-shirts, etc.
