Regular in appearance with unlike components: covered: yarn wraps around spandex or rubber. Characteristics and performance measured to ensure consistent fabric and product quality and performance. Strength, resistance to abrasion and other performance aspects. Yarn quality: thin spots: cause problems with processing, fabrication and finishing, weak and likely to break. Costly to repair and decreases fabric quality: neps: small knot entangled fibers (thick spots on yarn). Causes problems with dyeing and finishing: harriness: excessive fiber ends on yarn surface. Yarns are more sensitive to abrasion and pilling. Indirect and denier/the basics of yarn manufacturing (cotton incorporated)
