Knitting yarn is the yarn used for knitted fabrics. The yarn has high quality requirements, low twist (TPI) and moderate strength.
Influence of twist on yarn
twist affects the strength, stiffness, flexibility, elasticity, shrinkage and other indexes of yarn.
Selection of yarn twist
Warp yarn should have higher strength and twist; Weft yarn and knitting yarn should be soft and twist should be small.
The twist of yarn for woven and knitted starting fabrics should be smaller to facilitate pile up.
