3. Based on Ply (Twist Structure):

• Single-ply (single yarn):

  • One strand of twisted fibers.

• Two-ply, Three-ply, etc.:

  • Two or more single yarns twisted together.

• Cabled Yarn:

  • Multiple plied yarns twisted together.

4. Based on Yarn Texture:

• Smooth/Regular Yarns:

  • Uniform surface, used for most woven and knitted fabrics.

• Textured Yarns:

  • Filament yarns that are crimped, looped, or bulked for stretch and texture.

  • Often seen in synthetic yarns like textured polyester.4. Based on Yarn Texture:

5. Fancy Yarns:

• Bouclé

• Chenille

• Slub

• Marl

• Heathered

• Core-spun yarns (elastic core with fiber sheath)

• PBT / PTT High Elastic Yarns

• Spandex Aircover Filament Yarns

6. Based on End Use:

• Knitting Yarns: Softer and more elastic.

• Weaving Yarns: Stronger with tighter twist.

• Carpet Yarns: Durable and bulky.

• Industrial Yarns: Used for ropes, nets, or technical textiles.

7. Based on Yarn Count/Thickness:

• Fine Yarns: Lace weight, fingering.

• Medium Yarns: Sport weight, DK (double knitting).

• Thick Yarns: Worsted, aran, bulky, super bulky.

2. Based on Yarn Structure:

• Spun Yarns (Staple yarns):

  • Made from short staple fibers twisted together.

  • Examples: Cotton yarn, wool yarn.

• Filament Yarns:

  • Made from continuous fibers (natural like silk or synthetic like polyester).

  • Can be mono-filament (single filament) or multi-filament (many filaments twisted together).
