SPUN/BLEND YARNS
In the manufacture of sew and embroidering thread, spun yarn is also used. PSY is often available to use in the textile industry on either side of full and double employment.
Blended yarn is made from a number of raw materials such as polyester, cotton, viscose and acrylic, mixed together in different amounts. Since yarn is strong, mixing it with synthetic materials helps in keeping the finished the product in good shape and appearance.

Cotton Blends
To produce products to be used at the desired final destination, cotton is blended with a number of natural, semi synthetic and synthetic fibres. Wool’s contribution to the blend of cotton and wool is warmth, absorbency, body, drape and hand.
Viscose Blends
Polyester Blends
This technique involves producing a textile which is made up of both Polyester and Natural fibres. Polycotton, linen blends or terrycloth are among the most popular examples of this blend. The category of manmade or synthetic material would still apply to polyblend.
Knitting
Knitting is a method of producing textile products by combining yarn loops with other yarns that are similar or different. A lot of different types of clothing can be produced with it. It can be knit by hand or machine.
Weaving
The process of weaving is to arrange two sets of yarns together to form a fabric. The two sets of yarn are twisted around and under each other. Cotton, rayon, linen, bamboo and polyester fibres may be used for these yarns. A piece of fabric can be made by the weaving of yarns.
