Filament Yarns
Filament Yarns
Filament yarns are composed of continuous strands of fibers, typically made from synthetic materials like polyester, nylon, or silk. Unlike spun yarns, which are twisted from shorter fiber lengths, filament yarns provide a smooth, lustrous finish ideal for a variety of applications, including apparel, home textiles, and technical fabrics. Their strength, durability, and low pilling make them suitable for high-performance products. Filament yarns can be mono- or multi-filament, each offering unique properties for different uses in textiles.
