In the clothing sector, because core yarn can have the elasticity of fibers like spandex, as well as the comfort and breathability of natural fibers like cotton and linen, or the crispness and easy care properties of synthetic fibers, it is widely used to make form-fitting garments such as yoga wear and skinny jeans. It is also used for making shirts, providing good structure while offering a comfortable wearing experience. Additionally, it is used in the production of underwear, offering necessary elasticity and comfort.
In the home textiles domain, core yarn can be used to make curtains, utilizing its crispness to create a good drape. It is also used in bedding products like bedspreads, enhancing their durability and comfort.
In the industrial sector, core yarn is used in areas requiring special properties. For instance, it is used to make conveyor belts, utilizing its strength and some degree of elasticity to meet the demands of the conveying process. It is also used to make firefighting clothing and other specialized workwear, providing abrasion resistance and fireproof qualities while offering certain elasticity and comfort.
Core yarn is a composite yarn and it has the following advantages over other types of yarn:
Good Overall Performance
Core yarn combines the properties of the core and the covering fiber. For example, core yarn with spandex as the core and cotton as the covering fiber has the elasticity of spandex and the comfort, breathability, and good moisture absorption of cotton fiber, making it suitable for making form-fitting and comfortable clothing.
Enhanced Strength Performance
The core can be made of high-strength fibers, and the covering fiber protects the core fiber, making the overall strength of the core yarn better than single low-strength yarns. This characteristic makes it more advantageous in fabrics that need to withstand certain tensile strength, such as in the production of industrial fabrics and conveyor belts.
High Customizability
The types of core and covering fibers can be changed according to specific needs to achieve different performances. For instance, if UV resistance is required, fibers with UV resistance can be chosen as the covering fiber, or UV-resistant fibers can be used as the core, enabling the yarn to adapt to various complex usage environments.
