Covered yarn is a kind of textile that has a certain shape and purpose by processing yarn or filament through weaving, knitting, etc. Depending on the processing method and material, covering yarn can have many different types and characteristics.
Types of covering yarn
Woven covered yarn: Woven covered yarn is to weave yarn or filament according to certain rules and shapes to form a textile with certain elasticity and breathability. Common knitting covered yarns include sweaters, woolen pants, scarves, hats, etc.
Knitted yarn: Knitted yarn is used to knit yarn or filaments using a knitting machine to form a textile with tight and soft properties. Common knitted covered yarns include T-shirts, underwear, socks, etc.
Woven covered yarn: Woven covered yarn is a textile that is stiff and wear-resistant after the yarn or filament is processed by a shuttle loom. Common woven covering yarns include suits, trousers, bed sheets, etc.
Non-woven yarn covering: Non-woven fabric covering yarn is a textile made of non-woven materials, which is lightweight, breathable, and waterproof. Common non-woven fabrics include disposable masks, surgical gowns, sanitary napkins, etc.
Yarn material
Cotton yarn: Cotton yarn is a yarn made of cotton fiber. It has the characteristics of breathability, moisture absorption, softness, etc., and is suitable for making underwear, socks and other intimate clothing.
Wool yarn: Wool yarn is a yarn made from animal fibers such as wool. It has the characteristics of warmth, softness, wear resistance, etc., and is suitable for making coats, sweaters and other clothing.
Chemical fiber yarn: Chemical fiber yarn is a yarn made of chemical fibers. It has various properties, such as waterproof, breathable, wear-resistant, etc., and is suitable for making various outdoor clothing and indoor decorations.
Blended yarn: Blended yarn is a yarn made by mixing two or more fibers. It has a variety of properties, such as softness, warmth, breathability, etc., and is suitable for making various clothing and household items.
Characteristics of covering yarn
Breathability: The covered yarn has good breathability, which can effectively dissipate moisture and heat, keeping the body dry and comfortable.
Warmth: The warmth of covered yarn depends on its material and weaving method. For example, sweaters made of wool provide good warmth, while cotton clothing is more suitable for summer wear.
Elasticity: The covered yarn has a certain degree of elasticity and can adapt to the movements and changes of the body.
Abrasion resistance: The abrasion resistance of covered yarn depends on its material and weaving method. For example, some outdoor clothing uses wear-resistant synthetic yarns or blended yarns that can withstand long-term use and wear.
Environmental protection: Some yarn-covering materials are recyclable and degradable, such as organic cotton, bamboo fiber, etc. The yarn-covering materials made of these materials are more environmentally friendly and sustainable.
