YARN TWIST AND SEWING THREAD

YARN TWIST AND SEWING THREAD YARN TWIST:-      Twist is the spiral arrangement of the fibres around the arts of the yarn. The twist binds the fibres together and also contributes to strength of the yarn. The amount of twist inserted in a yarn defines the appearance and the strength of the yarn. The number of twist is referred to as turns per inch.        Yarn twist is defined as the spiral deposition of the components of a twist is the measure of the spiral turns given to a yarn in order to hold the constituent fibers or threads together TYPES OF TWIST:- ü S-twist ü Z-twist   S-twist:-         S-twist yarn is a yarn spun counter-clockwise and is normally used to create right-handed twill, while Z-twist yarn is used for left-handed twill. By opposing the direction of the yarn and the direction of the twill, the finished material is softer than fabric created with a corresponding yarn and twill weave. Z-twist:-        Z-twist. When a twisted yarn is held vertically, the individual fil
