Rich colors: The unique dyeing process of yarn-covered fabrics makes the colors of the fabrics bright and long-lasting.
Strong durability: Due to the reinforced fiber coating, the yarn-covered fabric has high strength, good durability, and is not easy to deform or tear.
Good breathability: The covered yarn fabric has been specially treated to make it breathable and comfortable to wear.
Good warmth retention: Since natural fibers have excellent thermal insulation properties, using them as the inner core can effectively prevent heat loss, thereby improving the warmth retention effect of the product.
Good hygroscopicity and breathability: Since natural fiber has good hygroscopicity and breathability, using it as the inner core can effectively absorb and distribute human sweat, making it more comfortable to wear.
High strength and good durability: Because synthetic fibers are wear-resistant, not easily damaged, and have high strength, using them as outerwear can extend the service life of yarn-covered products.
Strong adaptability: Because the covered yarn has good elasticity, it is more suitable for making tight clothing and sportswear and other occasions that need to fit the body flexibly. In addition, it can also be used to make products in different fields such as home textiles and decorative fabrics.
