Classification by yarn raw materials
Pure spinning
Pure spinning is the yarn made of fiber materials, such as cotton yarn, wool yarn, hemp yarn and silk yarn. This yarn is suitable for making pure textiles.
Blended yarn
Blended yarn is a yarn made of two or more fibers, such as polyester/cotton blended yarn, wool and viscose blended yarn, etc. This type of yarn is used for fabrics that highlight the advantages of both fibers.
Classification by yarn thickness
roving
Coarse yarn refers to the yarn of 32 tex and above (18 inches and below). This kind of yarn is suitable for thick fabrics such as tweed and cotton cloth.
Medium yarn
Medium tex yarn refers to 21-32 tex (19-28 inch in British system) yarn. This type of yarn is suitable for medium-thickness fabrics, such as plain cloth, gabardine, khaki, etc.
Spun yarn
Spinning refers to 11-20 t (29-54 inches in British system) yarn. This kind of yarn is suitable for thin fabrics, such as muslin, poplin, etc.
Superfine yarn
Super fine yarn refers to the yarn of 10 tex and below (British system 58 inches and above). This yarn is suitable for high-grade fine fabrics, such as high-count shirts, worsted cardigans, etc.
Classification by spinning system
Worsted yarn
Combed yarn, also known as combed yarn, refers to the yarn spun by combing process, including combed cotton yarn and combed wool yarn. The fibers in the yarn have high parallelism, evenness and smoothness, but the cost is high and the yarn count is high. Combed yarn is mainly used as raw materials for high-grade fabrics and knitwear, such as fine spinning, gabardine, tweed, cardigan, etc.
roving
Roving, also known as carded wool yarn or carded cotton yarn, refers to the yarn that is carded according to the general spinning system without going through the combing process. Roving has a large amount of short fibers, poor fiber parallelism, loose structure, more wool, low yarn count and poor quality. This type of yarn is mostly used as raw materials for general fabrics and knitwear, such as wool fabrics, medium and special cotton fabrics, etc.
Waste spinning
Waste spinning refers to the yarn spun from textile waste (waste cotton) or mixed with inferior raw materials. Yarn quality is poor, soft, uneven, with many impurities and color difference. Generally, it is only used for weaving low-grade fabrics such as coarse cotton blanket, terry cloth and packing cloth.
