The plied yarn is a yarn formed by two or more single yarns through doubling. Double yarn is a kind of yarn formed by two single yarns through doubling. The plied yarn includes double ply yarn, which is just one of the plied yarns.

Differences between single yarn and ply yarn

Single yarn: It is made by spinning short fibers, which are arranged along the axis and added.

Stranded yarn: It is made by combining two or more single yarns, and its abrasion resistance is better than that of single yarn. At the same time, the plied yarn can be combined and added in a certain way, and the plied yarn can be repeated. Single yarn is generally Z read.

The ply yarn is divided into: ZS yarn has stable structure, soft handle and good luster; ZZ (The single yarn structure is unstable, easy to kink, rough and hard to handle, and poor luster.

Features of ply yarn:

A ply yarn is a thread formed by twisting two or more single yarns. Its strength and wear resistance are better than single yarn. At the same time, the plied yarn can also be spliced, combined and twisted in a certain way, such as double stranded yarn, triple stranded yarn and multi stranded yarn. It is mainly used for sewing thread, knitting thread or medium thick solid fabric. Conventional ply yarn is usually made by twisting two or more single yarns of pure cotton or blended yarn 0 together. In recent years, fancy ply yarn is made by twisting two or more different single yarns, such as pure cotton and blended yarn, flat yarn and slub yarn, flat yarn and filament yarn, etc
