As a functional and sustainable yarn supplier, core spun yarn is one of functional yarns’ main product series.
So what is core spun yarn? And what kind of core spun yarn can functional yarns provide?
1. What is Core Spun Yarn?
The use of core spun yarns in denim made denim more flexible and expanded its applications across industries.
So what is core spun yarn?
It has two components. The inner component is a core made of continuous filament yarn, usually spandex or DTY filament, and an outer spun yarn sheath covering the yarn core.
The use of spandex as the yarn core imparts sought-after properties such as stretchability, durability, better resistance against breakage, and so on.
2. Difference Between Core Spun Yarn and Covered Yarn
Core spun yarn and covered yarn are similar, so it’s easy to confuse the two.
Actually, they’re easy to tell apart:
- Covered yarns are core–wrap yarns consisting of core filament(s) wrapped or covered by a yarn.
- A core spun yarn has a readily separable core surrounded by fibers or fiber strands.
3. Applications of Core Spun Yarns
- Woven corduroy fabric and stretchable denim made from elastomeric core/staple-fiber wrap yarns using spandex and cotton.
- Bed sheets and knit fabrics made from core spun yarns with polyester filament core and a sheath of combed cotton fibers. These offer high strength and durability from the polyester, and comfort from the cotton.
- Sewing threads made from polyester core/cotton wrap fibers, by plying and twisting two core/sheath yarns.
- Cotton-knit swimsuits made from spandex core and cotton fiber wrap, offering better fit with as little as 1% spandex—combining spun yarn feel with stretch.
- Secondary carpet backing made from polypropylene split or tape core/polypropylene fiber wrap.
- Flame-retardant and protective clothing made from fiberglass filament core/aramid fibers wrap and carbon core/aramid fiber wrap.
- Protective gloves made with steel wire surrounded by aramid fiber blends.
