Plied / Twisted Yarn
Plied / Twisted Yarn — Sewing thread · embroidery · weaving warp/weft · crepe/georgette/voile · high-strength/industrial fabrics · upholstery. Higher linear density; averages out irregularities; higher twist → more compact, smoother, lustrous, better abrasion/pilling resistance.
This yarn comes not from a single product but from an operation: two singles twisted together. Two constructions are in production — 75/72 two-ply (147–150 denier) and 100/144 two-ply (197–200 denier). Plying doubles linear density, averages out irregularities in the singles and tightens the surface; the result is a structure that pills less, prints a cleaner pattern and holds its dimensions better. It is used in sewing thread, embroidery, weaving warp and high-tenacity fabrics. Twist level (T/m) and direction (S/Z) are set per order; balanced twist — ply twist opposite to the single twist — prevents kinking.
| Construction | Two-or-more singles twisted together · S/Z direction · T/m twist · two-for-one (TFO) |
|---|---|
| Process | Plying + twisting (TFO); two-ply in production — T/m and direction on request |
| Luster | More compact, more lustrous surface as twist rises |

| Typical use | Sewing thread · embroidery · weaving warp/weft · crepe/georgette/voile · high-strength/industrial fabrics · upholstery |
| Strength | Higher linear density; averages out irregularities; higher twist → more compact, smoother, lustrous, better abrasion/pilling resistance. |
| Watch for | For continuous-filament polyester, strength is highest near zero twist and falls as twist rises; unbalanced plying kinks; high twist reduces cover. |
