Core-Spun Yarns
Core-Spun Yarns
Core-spun yarns consist of a central core surrounded by an outer layer of fibers. The core is usually made of filament yarns like polyester or elastane, providing strength and elasticity, while the covering fibers can be natural, synthetic, or blended, offering softness and other desired properties. This construction combines the benefits of both materials, such as durability from the core and comfort from the cover. Core-spun yarns are widely used in applications like stretch denim, activewear, and sewing threads, where strength, comfort, and elasticity are important.

Benefits
Made by wrapping fibers around a central core, which can be a filament or another yarn.
Combines the core's strength and elasticity with the surface fiber's properties (e.g., cotton or wool).
Provides stretch, durability, and comfort.
Often used to create stretchy fabrics while maintaining the look and feel of natural fibers.
