Document Summary
Water temperature: more dots = higher temperature; vice versa. Washing: indicates how to wash clothes; the dots in the symbol represent what temperature it should be washed at. Dry: drying is a square with a circle inside it and dots inside that circle indicate the temperature recommended to dry the clothes. Staple: short fibers that are matte, dull, usually fuzzy. Filament: synthetic yarns that are long continuous strands, monofilament: one fiber that is strong enough to use on its own, multifilament: multiple fibers are in the yarn to create textiles. Tape yarns: made from extruded polymer films, flat, can be crinkled, almost like a thin plastic sheet, olefin usually comes in this format. Twists: s-twist & z-twist, alignment of the fibers, most weaving yarn are z-twists. The amount of twists will affect the appearance, behavior and durability. Behavior: absorbency, comfort, elasticity (more twists, more elasticity)
