WHAT ARE FANCY YARNS? WHAT ARE FANCY YARNS?
'Fancy yarns' are those in which some
deliberate decorative discontinuity
or interruption is introduced,
of either colour or form,
or of both colour and form.
This discontinuity is incorporated with the
intention of producing an enhanced
aesthetic effect.

The irregularities in a fancy yarn The irregularities in a fancy yarn
can be an increased delivery rate can be an increased delivery rate
of one or more of its components, of one or more of its components,
or the inclusion of periodic effects or the inclusion of periodic effects
such as knops, loops, curls, slubs such as knops, loops, curls, slubs
or the like. or the like.

PRODUCTON METHODS OF PRODUCTON METHODS OF
FANCY YARNS FANCY YARNS
Most fancy yarns are produced by specialist fancy
spinners, using machines modified or developed for the
purpose.
Others are produced from
'fancy slivers', which are used as minor components in
yarns made by spinners using normal equipment.
Still others are made exclusively from continuous
filament, using adaptations or extensions of the airjet
texturing process.
Finally, it is also possible to produce an appearance that
resembles some of the effects produced by incorporating
slub yarns in a woven fabric,
without the expense in materials incurred by the use of
the yarns themselves.

WEAR RESSTANCE WEAR RESSTANCE
Wear resistance is,
resistance to wear during use,
and the effects of that wear on the yarn
strength,
colour, or other physical properties;
and the differential changes on certain
yarn components as a result of wear

MARL YARN MARL YARN
a marl yarn is one in which two yarns of
the same count and twist, but of different
colours, are folded together to
form a balanced yarn

SPRAL OR CORKSCREW YARN SPRAL OR CORKSCREW YARN
A spiral or corkscrew yarn is a plied yarn
that displays a characteristic smooth
spiraling of one component around the
other.
it can be produced relatively simply on a
doubling frame or under the ring spinning
system.

GMP YARN GMP YARN
A gimp is a compound yarn consisting of a
twisted core with an effect yarn wrapped
around it so as to produce wavy
projections on its surface.
Since a binder is needed to ensure the
stability of the structure, the yarn is
produced in two stages.

DAMOND YARN DAMOND YARN
A diamond yarn is made by folding a thick
single yarn or roving with a fine yarn or
filament of contrasting colour using S-
twist, and cabling it with a similar fine yarn
using Z-twist.
Multi-fold or 'cabled' yarns may be
produced by extending and varying this
technique, to produce a wide range of
effects.

LOOP YARN LOOP YARN
A loop yarn consists of a core with an
effect yarn wrapped around it
and overfed so as to produce almost
circular projections on its surface.
As a general rule, four yarns are involved,
of which two form the core or 'ground'
yarns.

CLOUD OR GRANDRELLE YARN CLOUD OR GRANDRELLE YARN
The two threads of different colours used to
create the yarn are manipulated in such a
manner that each thread alternately forms the
base and cover to 'cloud' the opposing thread.
t is made by alternate fast and slow deliveries
from two pairs of rollers.
Because the yarns alternate in forming the base
yarn, no dedicated core yarn is required.
