What is net yarn?

Author:


Network yarn, also known as network filament, interwoven filament, or interlaced filament, is a type of yarn produced during the chemical fiber manufacturing process by physically entangling and interlocking individual filaments.

Mesh fabric

Mesh fabric , also known as Network yarn, interwoven yarn, interlaced yarn It is a yarn produced during the manufacturing process of chemical fibers, in which individual filaments are entangled and interlocked with each other through physical methods.

Its core production process is as follows: In the post-processing stage of synthetic fiber spinning (typically after drawing and before winding), multiple parallel single filaments running at high speed are passed through a special... Internet nozzle The nozzle emits a high-speed, turbulent stream of compressed air that impacts, rotates, and strikes the fiber bundle, causing the originally straight and loosely arranged individual filaments to locally undergo deformation. Irregular interweaving, entanglement, and knotting forming individual “network nodes.”

 


 

Production Purpose and Core Advantages

 

Production of network yarn is primarily aimed at addressing the challenges associated with filament fibers (especially multifilament fibers). Loose issue Its core advantages include:

 

No sizing/Desizing:

Ordinary filament: The cohesive force between individual filaments is weak, leading to significant friction on the warp yarns during weaving, which easily causes fuzzing and yarn breakage. Therefore, it is essential to undergo... Starch coating The process involves bonding the monofilaments, weaving them into greige fabric, and then proceeding to... Desizing The process is complex and not environmentally friendly.

Mesh fabric: The webbing provides sufficient cohesion to be used directly for weaving, eliminating the two high-energy and highly polluting processes of sizing and desizing. Green and environmentally friendly processing technology.

 

Improve processing performance:

The yarn has few fiber fuzzes and high strength, ensuring smooth operation in subsequent processes such as warping and weaving, with a low breakage rate and high production efficiency.

 

Give fabrics a special style:

The network points create a subtle, irregular fine grain or texture on the fabric surface, enhancing the fabric’s… Fullness, softness and Imitation short-fiber yarn style Reduce the “aurora-like” and plastic-like feel of synthetic fibers.

 

Easy to blend fibers:

It is convenient to process filaments of different materials, colors, and shrinkage rates through the same multi-channel nozzle, enabling them to interweave closely and produce— Different colors, different shrinkage rates, multi-component Functional or colored yarn.

 


 

Main Technical Parameters

 

The key indicators for measuring the quality of network yarn are: “Network degree”

 

Definition:

The number of mesh points per unit length (typically 1 meter) of yarn.

 

Impact:

Network speed too low: Insufficient clamping force can easily cause loosening during machining, failing to achieve the no-glue effect.

Network congestion: The yarn has become stiff, feels rough to the touch, and the mesh points are overly visible, affecting the fabric’s aesthetic appeal.

Regulation: By adjusting Atmospheric pressure, wire speed, nozzle type Control the network degree using process parameters.

 


 

Main application areas

 

Due to their excellent performance and diverse styles, mesh fabrics are widely used in mid-to-high-end textiles.

 

Clothing fabric:

 

Suit/Professional Wear Fabric: Especially polyester wool-like fabrics—net yarns can provide excellent structure and wrinkle resistance.

Down jacket/outdoor wear fabric: High density and high strength to prevent down from poking through.

Shirt fabric: Makes the fabric crisp, smooth, and resistant to pilling.

Silk-like fabric: Achieve a soft, drapey appearance through fine-denier filament networks.

Home textile fabrics: Curtains, sofa fabrics, and the like must have good drape and dimensional stability.

Industrial fabric: Filter fabrics, tarpaulins, and similar materials require high strength and dimensional stability.

 


 

A simple comparison with other yarns

Structural Features

Main advantages

Main drawbacks

Ordinary filament

    Multiple parallel monofilaments with weak holding force.

    Smooth, high strength

    Needs sizing, prone to snagging, with a strong plastic feel.

Internet silk

    There are physical network points between the monofilaments.

    No sizing required, minimal fuzz, mimics the look of short-staple fibers.

    It feels slightly harder to the touch than ordinary filament.

Short-staple yarn (cotton, wool, etc.)

    Short fiber twisting and entanglement

    Soft to the touch, moisture-absorbent and breathable, with a strong natural feel.

    Prone to pilling and relatively low strength.

Deformed yarn (such as low-elastic filament)

    Filament yarn undergoes crimping deformation.

    High elasticity, fluffy, warm

    Usually not used for warp threads; prone to deformation.

 

Summary

In the textile industry, Network yarn is a functional yarn that uses high-pressure air to create entanglement points in synthetic fiber filaments, giving it excellent cohesion and enabling it to be directly woven. It is one of the key technologies driving the modern textile industry toward efficient and environmentally friendly production, striking a balance between the performance advantages of synthetic fibers and the visual and tactile qualities of natural fibers.
