Core Spun Yarn is a type of yarn where a filament core made of polyester, nylon, or other artificial fibers is covered with a layer of natural fibers such as silk, wool, or cotton. The filament core provides strength to the yarn while the natural fibers give it a comfy and soft feel. This kind of yarn is popular in the production of clothes and house fabrics as it supplies an excellent balance in between strength and comfort.
What is Core Spun Yarn Made of?
The core-spun yarn has the main material which is polyester. Apart from polyester, we can use cotton and viscose to make this yarn. Since the yarn applies mostly to the denim industry, a good stretch is a must need. The material, which wraps the existing yarn, can be poly-made or cotton-made. In the case of cotton-made wrapping, we can find high heat resistance capability. But in the case of poly-made wrapping, the abrasion resistance can be better as well.
