In the process of yarn processing in the textile industry, to ensure the performance of the fabric, it is common to apply twisting to the yarn to improve its strength and elasticity. Compared to before twisting, polyester twisted yarn has significant advantages in various performance aspects. During the twisting process of ring-spun yarn, due to fiber movement, fibers repeatedly move from the inner layer to the outer layer and back, spiraling around the yarn's axis. The spiral radius alternately increases or decreases along the axis. At this time, longer fibers tend to move toward the yarn's core, while shorter fibers tend to move toward the outer layer. Finer fibers tend to move toward the yarn's core.

During the twisting process of ring-spun yarn, due to fiber movement from the inner layer to the outer layer of the yarn and then back from the outer layer to the inner layer repeatedly, the fibers spiral around the yarn axis, with the spiral radius alternatingly increasing or decreasing along the axis. At this time, longer fibers tend to be more towards the yarn axis, while shorter fibers tend to be more towards the outer layer of the yarn. Finer fibers tend to be towards the yarn axis, and coarser fibers tend to be towards the outer layer. Fibers with a smaller initial modulus are mostly located on the outer layer, while fibers with a larger initial modulus are mostly located on the inner layer. By reasonably selecting fibers with different properties, yarns of different styles can be spun to suit different fabric uses or improve wearing performance.

 

Since polyester twisted yarn can freely choose the length, fineness, and cross-sectional shape of the fibers, outerwear fabrics are suitable to use slightly coarser and shorter synthetic fibers blended with cotton to increase the hairy texture on the yarn surface.
