High Stretch Yarn
Our company ‘s high stretch yarn（high elastic yarn） is a synthetic fiber made from 100% polyester or 100% nylon material which has high elasticity, flexibility, and puffy properties. Its most special feature is its elasticity, which can stretch to several times or even more than ten times its original length after being stressed, and then gradually return to its original length after the external force is removed.

Feature
The advantages of YM THREAD ‘s high stretch yarn
- Good elasticity: The high elasticity of polyester high stretch yarn allows it to adapt to various shapes and sizes during weaving, and maintains the shape and fluffiness of the knitting product, making it widely used in stretch product.
- Flexibility and fluffiness: It has a comfortable and soft feel, is not easily broken or damaged during weaving, and can withstand repeated friction and washing. It can form various soft, comfortable, and warm fabrics during weaving.
- Good breathability: It has good breathability, which can effectively discharge moisture and keep dry and comfortable.
- Easy to care for: no need for ironing, easy to care for, suitable for the fast-paced life of modern people.
It should be noted that our nylon high stretch yarn has a smoother feel and better elasticity than polyester high stretch yarn, making it more suitable for use in intimate products and high-end elastic product.

What is high stretch yarn?
High stretch Yarn（high elastic yarn）, one of the synthetic fibers in the textile industry, is typically made from 100 polyester （100 nylon）as its raw material. This fiber is widely utilized in the textile field, renowned for its outstanding physical characteristics and chemical stability. Its features include robust elasticity and softness, making it the preferred material for manufacturing products that demand high stretchability, such as form-fitting clothing and sportswear and socks.
Furthermore, Polyester High stretch Yarn exhibits versatility in its specifications, allowing for customization according to the specific requirements of different products. Its fiber fineness, elastic modulus, and appearance can all be adjusted to ensure it meets various market demands.
High stretch Yarn also demonstrates excellent wear resistance and durability, capable of withstanding extended periods of wear and washing. Therefore,High stretch Yarn is widely used in the production of various clothing and textiles, fulfilling consumers’ desires for high-quality textile products.
Which yarns have the most elastic stretch?
The yarn with the most elastic stretch properties depends on the fiber type and construction. Yarns made from elastic fibers such as spandex yarn (also known as Lycra yarn or elastane yarn or elastic thread or spandex covered yarn) or natural rubber latex yarn（rubber covered yarn） have the strongest elastic stretch properties. These elastic yarns can be stretched to several times their original length and return to their original shape when the tension is released. They are commonly used in clothing, sportswear, socks，and other textile products that require outstanding stretch and recovery capabilities.
In addition to elastic yarns, some synthetic yarns like air covered yarn（ACY），traditional covered yarn(SCY)，polyester high stretch yarns, nylon high stretch yarns, elastic modal yarns, and polyurethane yarns also exhibit excellent elasticity. They are used in a wide range of applications due to their good stretch properties.

How to dye high stretch yarn？
The dyeing of hig stretch yarn has different methods, with common ones being masterbatch spinning（dope dyed）, cone dyed, hunk dyed.
Masterbatch spinning （dope dyed）involves using polyester or nylon chips as the base material, melting, spinning, stretching, cooling, and shaping colored masterbatches, which can be used directly.
Cone dyed and hunk dyed typically encompass key steps such as raw material preparation, pre-treatment, dye preparation, dyeing, temperature and time control, rinsing, fixing, post-treatment, and final inspection. Proper selection of dye and color formulations is crucial during the dyeing process to ensure uniform and durable coloration of the final product. After dyeing, washing and fixing processes are necessary to ensure the dye adheres firmly to the fibers and resists fading.
