However, calling it just "string" does it a disservice. is defined by its twist . Fibers (whether from a sheep, a cotton plant, or an oil drum) are spun together. The direction of that spin—known as the "S-twist" or "Z-twist"—determines the yarn's strength and how it behaves when you work with it.
Feeling overwhelmed? Ask yourself these three questions:
Synthetic yarns are often more durable and affordable, while natural fibers offer better breathability and environmental sustainability.
Before you can appreciate yarn, you need to understand what it actually is. At its core, yarn is a long, continuous length of interlocked fibers. However, the way those fibers are put together changes everything about how the final fabric feels, drapes, and wears.
Harvested from the undercoat of cashmere goats. It is incredibly soft, luxurious, and lightweight, though it requires delicate care.
: Rapidly growing alternative crops that yield highly sustainable, antibacterial fibers. Synthetic and Regenerated Polymers
