Air Covered Yarns

These yarns, which are very much in demand, are now produced by the RC Yarns on fully automatic, state-of-the-art SSM air-covering machines.
The manufacture of air-covered yarns is our most efficient production process rendering it therefore particularly cost-effective. In this process, the elastane component is intermingled with a filament yarn using compressed air and wound straight onto the yarn spool.
Air-covered yarns have a powdery look and an exceptional softness. They are mainly used for socks, Inner Wear, Sports Wear, Active Wear, Swim Wear, and seamless.
Hard twist yarns
For the warp in weaving, air-covered yarns undergo an additional working step on a two-for-one twisting machine which means that the sizing process can be omitted.
Hard twisting results in improved strength and evenness, giving the final product a smoother surface.
