Slub Yarn

Slub yarns have tensile properties and are abrasion resistant which also depends somehow on the Slub parameter. The Slub yarns are also very much susceptible to damage during their usage due to the lack of migration of the fibres in the base and the injected yarns. Despite all the properties of Slub yarn, they are all tensile sensitive in nature.

Ground Slub yarn is a simple yet fancy type of yarn whose appearance is attained due to the variation of linear yarn density during the spinning process. A ground Slub yarn is formed out of a single structure that eventually has two parts. The two parts are Slub part and base yarn part. There are methods to calculate the Slub yarns which are mathematically proved. The mathematical calculations give out the correct number of Slub yarns.

Different types of Slub yarns

Depending on the thickness and the Slub length the yarn can be classified into two different types. Some useful information regarding these two varieties is explained below.

1. Multicount yarn – when it comes to multi count yarn, then the number of thread changes where as the number of twists remains unaltered. This leads to spinning variation in the fabric that provides an excellent colour combination
2. Multi-twist yarn – in this type of Slub yarns, the a number of yarn remain same but the number of twist changes. Owing to this variation leads to different texture in the fabric and colour also gets altered.
