Of late, textile companies in India have been using synthetic fibres with manmade fibres to blend the properties of both the two components. The result is the production of fibres with exceptional durability, elasticity, and retention. Filament yarn, air-covered yarn, and core-spun yarn are some of the fibres which are manufactured in the process. Due to their high tenacity and better frictional properties, these fibres are used in the manufacture of fashion apparels, hosiery, denims, sports-wear, active-wear etc.
In socks
Among these, air covered yarn is used in the manufacture of socks and seamless garments. Along with the soft stretch and excellent recovery of air covered yarn, the socks have high retention even after several washes. The air covered yarn present in socks gives off a soft and light feel when one wears it, thereby becoming your second skin.
In seamless garments
The use of air-covered yarn is also extremely popular in seamless garments. They are being widely used in textiles companies in India because the yarn provides these garments with excellent stretch and recovery features. The yarn also supports your body at the right places and accentuates your curves. Seamless garments, which are designed for comfort, have exceptional dimension stability, and improved fabric handle. They also provide a very soft feel to garments and have high elongation.
Popularity in the garment manufacturing market
The ability to blend with almost every textile raw material makes air covered yarn extremely popular in the garment manufacturing industry. The yarn is very cost-effective when used in the manufacturing process apart from being highly versatile, flexible, and strong.
