Usually, a yarn is considered as Novelty if it has an interesting texture, or other special features that distinguish it from regular plied yarns. The most known types of novelty yarns are bouclé, eyelash, fleece-effect, flammé, different kinds of ribbons or tapes (ladder- and rail-road-style, etc.), amd mixed textured yarns when a few stylish, different textured strands, are mixed in one yarn (sample). In the 1930s, as technology advanced, humans learned how to create their own fiber. Since the 1950s many superlatived advances in synthetic fibers have been achieved, and the availability of these man-made fibers has outstripped the natural ones.." Except yarns made of animal wool, plant fibers (cotton, linen (flax), rayon and viscose, etc.), bast fibers (hemp, banana fiber, soy silk) and silk itself, there is a category of man-made synthetic fibers such as acrylic (dralon, courtelle - the best quality acrylics), nylon, olefin, polyester, polyamide, acetate, anidex, aramid, azlon, elastoester, glass, lyocell, melamine, metallic, modacrylic, nytril, olefin, PBI, PEN, PLA, polypropylene, saran, spandex (lycra), chlorofiber, sulfar, triacetate, vinal, vinyon, and mamy, many others. - For more information please refer to FiberSource.com |
