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…

Individual quality criteria

In addition to the standard quality criteria, there are a number of product-dependent requirements. This applies in particular to the manufacture of technical textiles.…

Spun thread

In this type of sewing thread, the single yarns consist of individual, short fibres that are twisted together. The raw materials most commonly used for this type of…

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…

Seam appearance

Seam appearance refers to the visual quality of a seam and is assessed subjectively.

Seam abrasion resistance

Seam abrasion resistance describes how well the sewing thread in a seam withstands rubbing and friction during use.

Seam haptics

Seam haptics refers to the tactile perception or feel of a seam. There are objective measurement methods for assessing textile surfaces, but not for seams. Seams are…

Seam elongation

Seam elongation refers to the elasticity and stretching behaviour of a seam when subjected to tensile stress along the seam. It is primarily determined by the thread…
