The Important Role of Drawn Textured Yarn

Drawn Textured Yarn (DTY) is a type of yarn that has undergone texturizing processes to add additional characteristics. These processes involve creating coils and loops on the yarn that can later be separated for desired textures. This yarn can then be used for various applications including socks, hosiery, and textiles. The type of texturing that will be done to this yarn will depend on its intended use; some applications such as hosiery require greater stretch than others do; to accommodate this hosiery requires two passes through a texturing machine which will produce tight set yarn.

Draw textured yarn is created by drawing and twisting multifilament polyester POY yarn through an extensive heating process to form a texturized material with greater stretch while still maintaining bulkiness and elasticity, which makes it suitable for apparel as well as home furnishing fabrics.

Draw texturizing is completed using a special machine known as a false twist texturizing machine, where yarn moves between shafts 1-3 for heating zones 1-3 and can be altered in various ways to achieve its end-use desired texture. After being finished texturized it is heat set for additional durability and flexibility.

Drawn textured yarn can also provide the added advantage of being dyed with more colors than other synthetic fibers, while its texture prevents shrinkage and wrinkles for fabrics that require frequent washings, which makes the fabric less vulnerable to staining.

DTY yarn can also be utilized for crafting fabrics used in the automotive industry, such as seat covers and headliner fabric. Because these fabrics often endure extreme frictional force, durability and stain resistance are crucial features that must be included within their makeup. DTY is an excellent solution as its highly resistant properties mean it can withstand multiple uses without becoming damaged or weaker over time.

DTY fabric construction is one of the most versatile and widely-used solutions available and can be altered in various ways to produce desired textures and appearances for fabric designs. By employing texturing equipment properly, manufacturers can produce products sure to please their customers.
