0.9cm Fancy Yarn

0.7CM Nylon Crochet Fancy Yarn with Cury Pile Wool-like For Making Sweater

1. Description:

Fancy yarns are made with a distinctive irregular profile which is different from basic single and folded yarns. This profile enhances the visual and textural properties of the fabric. Fancy yarns are also termed novelty yarns, specialty yarns, effect yarns and fashion-oriented yarns, and can incorporate deliberate ‘defects’ or variations distributed randomly or in a pre-defined order, along with colour to give visually and texturally attractive difference to the fabric. Colour effects along the yarn length are introduced by twisting different coloured yarns, spinning blended dyed fibres, or by irregularly printing/dyeing spun yarns.

3. Advantages:

Compound fancy yarns can be found in an unlimited number of varieties and textures. The idea of a compound fancy yarn is to combine two or three strands together so that one of them acts as the fancy or effect strand, another acts as the yarn core and perhaps a third one acts as a binder to secure the effect strand to the core strand. The binder strand is usually small and is often not readily visible. The differences in the appearance of the various yarns are largely dependent on the extent of prominence of the effect strand. This is typically controlled by a number of structural factors including the size of the effect strand, the configuration assumed by the effect strand (wavy, looped, snarled, etc.) and the core-effect arrangement used.

4. Why is fancy yarn important?

Fancy yarns have wide-ranging application in apparel at all levels of the market. Where once the extreme complexity and difficulty of making and using fancy yarns inhibited their production in sufficient quantity or at a low enough price for the mass market, improved process control has now greatly extended their market penetration. In particular, fancy yarns have become an increasingly prominent part of the revived hand knitting market, although this can best be seen as further evidence for the overall change in attitude within the market, which is discussed in the next section.
