COVERING YARN
Elasticity Meets Durability in Modern Textiles
1. What is Covering Yarn?
Covering yarn (also known as Covered Yarn) is a type of yarn produced by wrapping one or more layers of outer fibers around a main core filament.
This unique structure allows the yarn to maintain high elasticity from the core while having a beautiful, durable, and easy-to-process surface from the covering layer.
Today, covering yarn is an essential material in the hosiery, sportswear, pantyhose, bodycon apparel, swimwear, and many other products that require stretch, durability, and a high-quality finish.
2. Structure of Covering Yarn
- Core Yarn: Typically made of spandex, latex, or rubber.
- Covering Yarn: Often made of cotton, polyester, or nylon, which provides a comfortable feel against the skin while increasing durability and dyeability.
- Common Classifications:
- Single Covered Yarn (SCY): Has one outer covering layer.
- Double Covered Yarn (DCY): Has two outer covering layers wrapped in opposite directions to enhance stability.
3. Outstanding Advantages of Covering Yarn
- High Elasticity: Ideal for body-hugging products.
- Smooth and Beautiful Surface: Does not cause discomfort when worn.
- Colorfast and Durable: Resistant to friction and repeated washing.
- Easy to Dye and Print: Suitable for various fashion designs.
