Construction types for sewing thread production
While the construction of the yarns individually determines the type of sewing thread, twist, ply, and cord define general construction parameters for all sewing threads.…
Care properties of sewing threads
When it comes to the care properties of sewing threads, the quality requirement is simple: the sewing thread must meet the care requirements of the fabric. The outer…
Continuous filament, braided
To produce a braided continuous filament, 12 to 16 filament yarns (continuous filament bundles) – depending on the thickness of the finished thread – are wound together…
Continuous filament, texturised
To produce this type of construction, continuous filaments are permanently crimped using a process known as false twisting.
Continuous filament
In continuous filament threads, the single yarns are made from continuous fibres (filaments). In some cases, up to 200 individual filaments are combined to form a yarn…
Core spun thread
In case of core spun threads, the single yarns consist of a core of multifilaments and a sheath of fine fibres. In sewing thread production, this finished strand is…

Carbon fibres
Manufacture by thermal treatment (carbonisation) of suitable carbon-containing materials, such as polyacrylonitrile or viscose.
Cotton (CO)
The seed hairs of the cotton plant are processed through various production steps to form a fibre fleece (rovings), which is then spun into a finished yarn.
