Yarn
Yarn is a long continuous strand of textiles fibers held together by twist
Example: Silk
All fibers that have a practically unlimited
length are considered filaments. In other
words, filament fibers are continuous fiber.
Example: Cotton
Any fiber with a practical, limited or finite
length is considered a staple fiber.
Blending
Example: CVC
Two or more different kinds of fibers are
mixed together.
Example: Organic Cotton + Conv. Cotton
Two or more different kinds of fibers of
the same kind mix.
