There are a great many ranges of yarns, which differ in many respects.
The simplest yarn is the one consisting of a single garment, of a single color, with its own title and
number of twists.
Then there are twisted yarns, or the infinite qualities of yarns, obtained from the union of two or more simple yarns.
packets, the same or different. From the simplest combination of two yarns we arrive at the complex com
combination of fancy twists. The knowledge of the twists and the large number of effects obtainable with them
it is essential in the fabric design phase. Let's now look at some types of twisted yarns.
Simple twisted and whirled. By joining two ends of the same color and twisting them together you get a
simple twisted. If the two garments have a different color, the twisted product is called mulinè.
In both cases, the twisting of the twisted piece is usually the opposite of that of the component heads.
Stratorti. They are twisted yarns with the twist in the same direction as the component garments,
mainly wavy at the periphery and are used in fresh fabrics or as a thread (cordonetto).
Fake whirlpools. They are obtained in carded spinning by joining two wicks of different colors. In this
case the yarn has the appearance of a whirl, but in reality it is a simple single-ply yarn.
Tortillas. They are twisted yarns that are subsequently twisted together always in the opposite direction.
