Description

Material Composition

  • cellulose-rich fibers extracted from the stem of the flax plant

Spinning Method : Compact

  • Compact yarn shows low hairiness, high tenacity, and evenness with good elongation.
  • Siro compact offers balanced structure, reduced hairiness, but slightly lower load-elongation than plied.
  • Vortex has minimal hairiness and imperfections but lower strength, more irregularity, and larger diameter.​
Property Compact Siro Compact Vortex
Hairiness Very low Low Lowest
Strength High High Lower
Evenness Excellent Good Fair
Elongation High Moderate Low

 

Fabric Applications

  • Compact suits premium knits and wovens needing durability.
  • Siro compact excels in shirting and denim for bulk and abrasion resistance.
  • Vortex fits towels and casual wear prioritizing speed and low pilling, though less for high-strength needs

Where I can use this yarn?

  • Ideal for summer shirts, trousers, suits, upholstery, table linens, and crafts due to its eco-friendliness and longevity.
  • Blends temper its crispness for broader apparel.

Key Properties

  • It boasts 2-3 times the tensile strength of cotton, increasing when wet, with excellent breathability, 20% moisture absorption, quick-drying, and natural antibacterial qualities. Low elasticity creates a structured drape but promotes wrinkling, while its hollow structure ensures cooling comfort.
