Different Types of Polyester Yarn
Polyester yarn is a type of synthetic fiber produced from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). It is the most common and widely used textile fiber worldwide. It is mainly used to make clothes, blankets, and soft furnishings.
It is produced by melting and extruding PET pellets through tiny holes called spinnerets. It is then cooled to harden into a fiber. There are many different types of polyester fibers, depending on their quality. These include spun, staple, tow, and fiberfill.
Spun Yarn: This is the most common form of polyester. It consists of single, long polyester filaments that are twisted or air-tangled to make them workable. It is a versatile and strong fiber that is also reversible.
Filament: This is a more durable form of polyester and can be used for fabrics with a smooth surface. It is also less slippery than spun yarns and may be used in knitted or crocheted garments where it will be exposed to water, stains, and dirt.
Staple: This is a polyester fiber that resembles cotton yarn and is spun into a yarn-like material. It is typically used for knitted or crocheted garments that will need to be washed frequently.
Tow: This is a continuous, loosely arranged form of polyester fiber that makes smooth-surfaced fabrics. It is often used in knitted or crocheted garments that need to be machine-washed and dried.
Fabrics with a Texture: This is a variety of polyester fibers that can be twisted and woven together to produce textured fabrics. It is an excellent choice for clothing because of its high tensile strength and elasticity.
Knitted and Crocheted Items: A wide range of colorful, lightweight fabrics are made from polyester yarn. These fabrics can be a great alternative to wool and can be machine-washed safely. Some knitters prefer to use polyester to make sweaters and hats for their children, as it is more durable than wool and tends to hold up better when worn over time.
In addition to its strength and elasticity, polyester yarns are usually easy to care for. They can be washed in the washing machine and dried in a low-heat setting in the dryer. This makes them a good choice for knitted items that will be donated.
Quilts, Bedspreads, and Throws: These are all great options for people who enjoy knitting or crocheting but want to avoid the expense and hassle of purchasing animal-fiber blankets or Afghans. These can be made with a wide range of colors that are easily combined into granny squares or other patterns.
These materials are very warm and comfortable, but they do not breathe like natural fibers. This is a problem for people who spend time outdoors or in a humid environment, as the fabric can feel wet and clammy.
A combination of polyester and nylon is a popular choice for a fabric that is durable, wrinkle-free, and resistant to mildew. This blend has some drawbacks, though, as pilling and a lack of breathability can be an issue.
