fancy yarn
Fancy yarn expresses the unique decorative effect of clothing and apparel
with its flexible colors and varied yarn structure.
What is fancy yarn?
Concept
Fancy yarn refers to the yarn with special structure and appearance effect
obtained by using special raw materials, special equipment or special technology
to process the fiber or yarn in the process of spinning and yarn making, which
is a kind of yarn with decorative effect in yarn products.
Structure
Fancy yarns come in many different varieties and generally consist of a
combination of core yarn, decorative yarn and cemented yarn.
The core yarn is the skeleton of the fancy yarn and the attachment of the
trim yarn. Generally use high strength filament or yarn as the core.
The solid thread is used to fix the pattern, so that the pattern is fixed
in the way it was produced, thus avoiding slippage along the length. The solid
thread is mostly made of fine and high strength filaments.
The trim thread reflects the fancy effect. The fancy yarn patterns, such as
thick details, loops and pigtails, are expressed by the trim thread. Trim
threads can be produced with sliver or roving by the same drafting but different
overfeed (e.g. loop yarn), or by different drafting (e.g. bamboo yarn), or with
filament yarn, by different overfeed (e.g. knot yarn). The use of two roving
yarns of different colors with different drafts and different overfeeds can
produce fancy yarns of varying thickness and color.
Classification of fancy yarns
Fancy yarns can be classified into 3 categories according to their color
and structural form.
Classification of fancy yarns
Fancy yarns are yarns with colored fibers mixed into the fibers of the base
yarn in a certain proportion, so that the yarn shows distinctive colored
segments and dots of different lengths and sizes, such as colored dot yarn and
rainbow yarn. This kind of yarn is mostly used in women&39;s and men&39;s jackets.
Fancy yarns are yarns with various appearance characteristics obtained by
using the principle of overfeeding, such as circle yarns, bamboo yarns, spiral
yarns, knotted yarns and so on. These yarns can be used as both clothing fabrics
and decorative materials. They can be used for light summer clothes and heavy
winter clothes.
Special fancy thread mainly refers to gold and silver wire, chenille
thread, etc. Gold and silver wire mainly refers to the gold and silver wire
obtained by sandwiching the aluminum sheet between polyester film sheets or
attaching it to the polyester film. It can be used for fabric as well as
decorative sewing thread to make the surface of fabric shiny and bright.
Chenille thread is a kind of special fancy yarn, that is, the fiber is held on
the core yarn of the combined strands, like a bottle brush, its feel is soft,
and it is widely used in flocking fabrics and spike decorative fabrics.
Advantages of fancy yarn
① Fancy yarn fabric is gorgeous in appearance, colorful, colorful but not
vulgar, and very decorative, which can catch consumers' eyes at the first
time.
② Fancy yarn fabrics are diversified and sexualized products, which meet
the consumer psychology of modern urbanites pursuing fashion and
individuality.
③ Fancy yarn fabric is easy to design, because the change of yarn form
directly affects the appearance effect of the fabric, so it only needs to
improve the selected yarn to present diverse changes on the fabric, random and
original.
④ The production of fancy yarn fabric needs no or little post-treatment
such as printing and dyeing, the process is short and easy to produce, and the
products are well marketed, so they are loved by manufacturers.
Fancy yarns can be made in various patterns and colors to obtain a novel
and charming appearance.
Because of its special structure, the raw materials of fancy yarn can be
used flexibly, either with natural fiber or chemical fiber, and each raw
material can be used separately or mixed with multiple components, so that it
can not only achieve the purpose of complementing the shortcomings, but also
give full play to the inherent characteristics of each. At the same time, since
fancy yarn has great potential in color matching and pattern change, its product
design and development is basically in a state of free play without technical
constraints, which brings unlimited vitality and challenges to the application
of fancy yarn and provides a wide platform for the development of fancy yarn
fabric.
With a variety of colors and shapes randomly combined in the same yarn,
when used in fabrics, fancy yarns change the surface of fabrics that are prone
to stripes and blemishes, and make the appearance of fabrics rich in hues and
three-dimensional sense. Fancy yarns can be used to process all kinds of color
woven women&39;s clothing fabrics such as tweed and tweed, and can also be used to
process decorative materials such as hand-knitted wool, curtain furniture and
other decorative fabrics, with outstanding flower patterns and unique styles.
Fancy yarn is not only widely used in knitting, there is also great progress in
the use of woven fabrics, and the most rapid development in the home textile
industry.
