Introduction to core sheath combination yarn

Core-sheath combination yarn is a specialized type of yarn consisting of two distinct components: the core and the sheath. The core, typically made of a different material or fiber than the sheath, forms the innermost part of the yarn. It provides specific properties such as strength, elasticity, or moisture management. The sheath, on the other hand, surrounds the core, acting as a protective outer layer.

This yarn is produced through a spinning process where the core material is encased within the sheath material. The two components are spun together to form a single yarn strand with the core securely housed within the sheath

Properties of core sheath combination yarn

• Strength: Exhibits excellent durability and resistance to tension and abrasion.
• Flexibility: Maintains flexibility for various weaving or knitting techniques.
• Moisture Management: Offers effective moisture-wicking properties for dry and comfortable fabrics.
• Softness: Provides a soft and comfortable feel against the skin.
• Better Appearance: Contributes to smooth and uniform fabric surfaces for aesthetic appeal.
• Thermal Regulation: Helps regulate body temperature for comfort in different conditions.
• Abrasion Resistance: Withstands wear and tear for long-lasting durability.
• Customization: Allows for customized solutions by selecting specific materials for desired properties.
