Yarn: A continuous strand of textile fibers created when a cluster of individual fibers are twisted together. These long yarns are used to create fabrics, either by knitting, plaiting, or weaving.

Yarn: A textile product of substantial length and relatively small cross-section and that consists of fibers (q.v.) or filament(s) (q.v.) (or both) with or without twist.
Note: a) assemblies of fibers or filaments are usually given other names during the stages that lead to the production of yarn, e.g. tow, slubbing, sliver, roving (q.v.). Except in the case of continuous-filament fibers or tape yarns, any tensile strength possessed by assemblies at these stages would generally be the minimum that would hold them together during processing.
B) staple, continuous-filament and monofilament yarns are included.
C) no distinction is made between single and cabled yarns.
D) zero-twist and self-twist staple yarns are included.
E) zero-twist continuous-filament yarns are included.
F) by the definition of fiber and filament, paper, metal-film and glass yarns are included.

Yarn, cabled ''cabled yarn'': Two or more yarns (at least one of which is folded) (see yarn, doubled) that have been twisted together in one or more operations.
Note: a) combinations of folded yarns and single yarns may be described as cabled yarns, e.g. a single yarn is twisted together with two folded yarns to give softness to the resulting yarn.
B) in the tyre-yarn and cord sections of the textile industry, cabled yarns are termed "cable cords" or "cords". These terms include two-fold continuous-filament man-made fiber yarns, a traditional example being 1 830 dtex rayon cord, single twist 480 t/m (z), and cabled twist 480 t/m (s).
C) for terms concerning twist designation in cabled yarns, see twist (b).

Yarn, doubled ''doubled yarn, folded yarn, plied yarn'': A yarn in which two or more single yarns are twisted together in one operation, e.g. two-fold yarn, three-fold yarn, etc.
Note: In some sections of the textile industry, e.g. the marketing of hand-knitting yarns, these yarns would be referred to as "two-ply", "three-ply", etc.

Yarn: A product of substantial length and relatively small cross-section consisting of fibers and/or filament(s) with or without twist. Note 1: assemblies of fibers or filaments are usually given other names during the stages that lead to the production of yarn, e.g., Tow, slubbing, sliver, or roving. Except in the case of continuous-filaments or tape yarns, any tensile strength possessed by the assemblies at these stages is generally the minimum that can hold them together during processing. Note 2: staple, continuous filament, and mono-filament yarns are included. Note 3: no distinction is made between single, folded and cabled yarns. Note 4: zero-twist continuous filament yarns are included. Note 5: zero-twist and self-twist staple yarn are included. Note 6: by the definition of fiber and filament, paper, metal, film and glass yarns are included.

Yarn Count: See count.

Yarn Dyed: Fabrics which have had the yarns colored before the fabric is woven. Used to produce stripes plaids or tapestries.

Yarn Dyed and Overdyed: A fabric which has been first yarn dyed, then piece dyed in a lighter shade that allows the yarn dye pattern to show through.

Yarn Linear Density: The coarseness or fineness of yarn or other linear textile material.

Yarn Setting: The process of conferring stability of form upon yarns usually by means of successive heating and cooling in moist or dry conditions.

Yarn, Cable: Two or more folded yarns twisted together in one or more operations.

Yarn, Combination: A yarn in which there are dissimilar component yams especially when these are of fiber and filaments. (1) descriptive of full drawn continuous-filament yarns substantially without twist and untextured (see also twistless yarn.) (2) a synonym for straw (see yarn, straw).

Yarn, Single: A thread produced by one unit of a spinning machine or of a silk reel.

Yarn, Spun: Commonly used to describe a yarn that consists of staple fibers held together (usually) by twist.

Yarn, Straw: Extruded monofilament yarns that have the cross-section and appearance of natural straw.

Yarn, zero-twist: A continuous-filament single yarn in which there is no twist, (2) a multi-fold yarn in which there is no folding twist. Note 1: some fibrous yarns are described as twistless, since the fibers may be held together by adhesive temporarily e.g., Until incorporated in fabrics. Varieties of core-spun yarn and scaffolding yarn have appeared with this description after solvent-removal of one component. Note 2.. Zero-twist continuous-filament yams usually become twisted by over-end withdrawal e.g., From a pirn in a loom shuttle.

Yarn; Folded, Doubled, Plied: A yarn in which two or more single yarns are twisted together in one operation, e.g., Two-fold yarn, three-fold yarn, etc. Note: in some sections of the textile industry, e.g., The marketing of hand-knitting yams, these yarns are referred to as two-ply, three-ply, etc.

Yarns, Fancy: A yarn that differs from the normal construction of single and folded yarns by way of deliberately produced irregularities in its construction. These irregularities relate to an increased input of one or more of its components or to the inclusion of periodic effects such as knots, loops, curls, slubs or the like.

Yellowing: The yellow discoloration that may develop on textile materials during processing, use, or storage.

Yjshtinuam: Boat shaped cap (topi), worn close to the head. Kulah.

Yoryu: See crepon /yoryu.
