what is the difference between worsted yarn and woolen yarn

1. Different raw materials


Worsted yarn is generally processed by cotton carding machines, combing machines and other equipment. The cotton is processed in a complex way to remove cotton seeds, impurities and short fibers, resulting in less waste cotton, which makes the fiber length of worsted yarn relatively long and the quality is better.


While coarse yarn usually uses coarser cotton because the raw materials do not need to be processed in a complex way, so the cost is lower, but the fiber length is shorter and the quality is poorer.


2. Different processes


Worsted yarn is processed through multiple processes, including combing, cutting, drawing, drafting and spinning. It needs to be stretched, refined and smoothed many times, so its fiber structure is uniform and neat, the fiber strength is high, and the feel is delicate and soft. It is suitable for making high-end fabrics and fine textiles.


Worse yarn is a simple spinning yarn, which does not need to be processed through multiple processes during the production process. Therefore, its surface is loose, the fiber structure is not uniform, the fiber strength is low, the feel is rough, and the scope of application is relatively narrow.

3. Different characteristics


The fabric made of worsted yarn is softer, glossier and more lustrous, with better wear resistance and washability, and is suitable for making high-grade clothing fabrics such as high-end shirts, suits, and ties.


The fabric made of woolen yarn is heavier, harder, and more durable, and is suitable for making sportswear, corduroy and other daily leisure-related clothing.


Conclusion:
In summary, although worsted yarn and woolen yarn are both important processes in fabric processing, there are significant differences between the two in raw materials, processes and characteristics. Accurately understanding their characteristics and application range will facilitate the selection of suitable yarns to make high-quality textiles.
