    Twist is the spiral arrangement of fibres around the axis of yarn, which is given during spinning to bind fibres together and strengthen the yarn. The amount of twist affects properties like strength, luster, abrasion resistance, absorbency and flexibility, with most yarns using a 'Z' anti-clockwise twist direction for fabric construction.

    Yarn Twist

    • Twist is the spiral arrangement of the fibres around


    the axis of the yarn.

    • The short staple fibres are always twisted together


    during the process of spinning to produce a yarn.

    • The twist is actually given to bind the fibres together


    as a yarn and to give yarn strength.

    • The amount of twist not only directly affects the


    strength of the yarn; it also affects lustre, abrasion
    resistance, handle, absorbency and flexibility.
    Direction Of Twist
    • Fibres can be twisted together in the clockwise
    or anti-clockwise

    • clockwise direction to form yarns. Yarns are


    twisted in the clockwise direction for "S“ twist

    • Anti clockwise for "Z" twist. The "Z" twist is


    employed in a majority of the spun yarns used
    for fabric construction.
