Textile Term: Core-Spun Yarns
Core-spun yarns are yarns that consist of a core of one fiber, often a strong and durable fiber like nylon or polyester, with another fiber wrapped around the core which can be a softer material, typically cotton or wool.
The wrapping fiber helps to protect the core fiber from wear and tear. The core fiber in core-spun yarns provides strength and durability, while the wrapping fiber contributes to the yarn's appearance and texture.
These yarns can be used for a variety of applications, including apparel, home textiles, and technical textiles. They are commonly used in fabrics for outdoor gear, such as jackets and backpacks, as well as in industrial fabrics.
