Document Summary

Staple: short fibers: any natural or manufactured fiber produced in or cut to a short length measured in inches or centimeters. Single: one strand: consists of one strand of fibers held together by some mechanism. Simple: same appearance along length: a yarn alike in all its parts. Filament: continuous filament: a yarn made from filament fibers; smooth or bulky are possible. Yes as well as yarn diameter, uniformity and quality. Filament fibers vs. staple fibers: filament fiber: refers to fibers that are extremely long (length measured in miles or kilometers) or yarns made of these fibers. Filament yarn: a yarn made from filament fibers; smooth or bulky are possible. Type of yarns: smooth-filament (mono or multi-filament), tape, and network: smooth-filament yarn: a yarn of filament fibers that have not been crimped or textured, regular or conventional filament yarns, uniform as they come from the spinneret. There are no protruding ends, so no linting or pilling.
