Fancy yarn is any intentional variation in the form of a yarn, the structure of a yarn, or both. Unlike regular yarns, fancy yarns are designed to enhance the appearance of the yarn and are produced by combining two or more raw materials to create special effects. These yarns also broaden the horizons of textile designers because they can use fancy yarns to design attractive and exclusive products. It is worth noting that these yarns have lower efficiency and higher production costs than other yarns.
Uses of Fancy Yarns
As we have already mentioned, the use of fancy yarns increases the cost of producing yarn, fabrics, and garments, and their production requires several stages of spinning. Fancy yarns are usually fashion-driven, and it is not wise to produce large quantities of them without orders.
The uses of fancy yarns are as follows:
- Fabric production for men’s shirts and suits
- Women’s shirts and dresses
- Decorative textiles
- Furniture fabrics
- Wool tweed fabrics
- Children’s clothing
- Decorative textiles such as curtains and carpets
- Decorative items and textiles used in corporate departments, such as car interior decorations
- Fabric furniture in hotel lobbies
