Single and Plied Yarns
-
0:04 - 0:07All yarns are originally spun as single yarns.
-
0:07 - 0:09For certain end uses,
-
0:09 - 0:12single yarns may be combined to produce a ply yarn.
-
0:13 - 0:15Two-ply yarns are the most common.
-
0:16 - 0:18These are produced by combining two single
-
0:18 - 0:20yarns together and applying twist to them.
-
0:21 - 0:23The twist direction used in the ply is almost always
-
0:23 - 0:27applied in the opposite direction to the single yarn's twist.
-
0:27 - 0:30That means most ply yarns will contain S twist.
-
0:31 - 0:35Ply yarns are used where extra strength and evenness are required.
