A continuous strand of fibers used in tufting, weaving and bonding to form carpet and other fabrics Carpet yarn is often plied and may be either spun staple or continuous filament
A continuous strand of textile fibers created when a cluster of individual fibers are twisted together These long yarns are used to create fabrics, either by knitting or weaving
Twisted strands of roving, used to weave textile reinforcements Yield Strength: The stress at which a material exhibits a specified limiting deviation from the proportionality of stress to strain; the lowest stress at which a material undergoes plastic deformation Below this stress, the material is elastic; above it, viscous Young's Modulus: The ratio of tensile stress to tensile strain below the proportional limit
Spun wool; woolen thread; also, thread of other material, as of cotton, flax, hemp, or silk; material spun and prepared for use in weaving, knitting, manufacturing sewing thread, or the like
Fiber that has been spun by hand or machine into strands for weaving or knitting The yarn can be spun onto skeins, which are usually sold in stores for hand knitting and crocheting, or onto cones, which are used on knitting machines
A yarn is a story that someone tells, often a true story with invented details which make it more interesting. Doug has a yarn or two to tell me about his trips into the bush. Continuous strand of fibres grouped or twisted together and used to construct textile fabrics. Yarns are made from both natural and synthetic fibres, in filament or staple form. Filament is very long fibre, including the natural fibre silk and the synthetic fibres. Most fibres that occur in nature are fairly short, or staple, and synthetic fibres may be cut into short, uniform lengths to form staple. Spinning is the process of drawing out and twisting a mass of cleaned, prepared fibres. Filament yarns generally require less twist than do staple yarns. More twist produces stronger yarn; low twist produces softer, shinier yarn. Two or more single strands may be twisted together to form ply yarn. Knitting yarns have less twist than weaving yarns. Thread, used for sewing, is a tightly twisted ply yarn
A general term covering all specific types of textile structures, with or without twist, made of continuous or discontinuous filaments (according to ISO/DIS 13922)
A generic term for a continuous strand of textile fibers, filaments, or material in a form suitable for knitting, weaving, or otherwise intertwining to form a textile fabric
A generic term used for a continuous strand of textile fibers, filaments or material in a form suitable for knitting, weaving or otherwise intertwining to form a textile fabric Yarn types are as follows: Spun yarn - number of fibers twisted together Filament yarn - number of filaments laid together without a twist Textured filament yarn -number of filaments laid together with a degree of twist or textured Monofilament - single filament with or without twist Specialty and Novelty yarn Chenille, Boucle, Ratine
A continuous strand of textile fibers that may be composed of endless filaments or shorter fibers twisted or otherwise held together Yarns are utilized in making fabric
A generic term for an assemblage of fibers or filaments, either natural or manufactured, twisted or laid together to form a continuous strand suitable for use in producing fibers
Found only in 1 Kings 10: 28, 2 Chr 1: 16 The Heb word mikveh, i e , "a stringing together," so rendered, rather signifies a host, or company, or a string of horses The Authorized Version has: "And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price;" but the Revised Version correctly renders: "And the horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt; the king's merchants received them in droves, each drove at a price "
