Today we are going to talk about the bulked yarn in the yarn world. 👀
Bulked yarn is a special type of yarn that uses the thermoplasticity of polymer compounds to mix two fibers with different shrinkage rates in proportion. 🔥After heat treatment, the high-shrinkage fiber forces the low-shrinkage fiber to curl, just like a magic trick, and the wool top becomes stretchable and fluffy, just like the deformed yarn of wool.
What are the characteristics of bulked yarn? It has the characteristics of being fluffy, anti-corrosion, and anti-friction. Moreover, bulked yarn can also be blended with other fibers to produce a soft, fluffy, and warm effect. Among the many yarns, acrylic bulked yarn has the largest output, and it is widely used in making knitted outerwear, underwear, wool yarn, blankets, etc.
Bulked yarn also has some things to pay attention to. The bulkiness is the life of bulked yarn. If the bulkiness is too small, the yarn will be loose and have a poor plush feel; if the bulkiness is too large, the grey fabric will be tight, fluffy, and inelastic. Therefore, when we use bulked yarn, we must master its "temperament". 😉
