What our yarn looks like
Bobbins from our stock and fabric knitted from our yarn — real photos, no stock images.
On request we send yarn samples (up to 5 shades) and a colour card.
All items are Open End spun. If the count or blend you need is not in the chart, write to us: we will match it or tell you honestly that we cannot.
Conversion: tex = 590.5 / Ne. Many mills quote the count in Ne — this table lets you check an enquiry without converting.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | 98,4 | 10,2 | 65/35, 80/20 | carpets, technical fabrics |

Counts outside the chart on request. Open End spinning tops out around Ne 40: we do not promise finer, so that you do not build an error into your costing.
Indicative ranges. For two-layer fabrics (fleece, terry, flannel) please state two counts in your enquiry — face and backing.
| Product / fabric | Recommended counts | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Carpets and carpeting | Ne 6–10 | We do not spin coarser than Ne 6 |
| Denim, heavy fabrics | Ne 7–10 | Dope-dyed yarn — even shade without dyeing |
| Curtain and drapery fabrics | Ne 10–21 (most often 16/18) | — |
| Fleece (hoodies, tracksuits) | face Ne 16–21 + backing Ne 10–16 | Fabric weight 180–480 g/m²; from 280 g/m² it is "heavy" fleece |
| Sweaters, outer knitwear | Ne 16–21 | Plied (multi-fold) yarn available |
| Towels, terry | Ne 16–21, low twist | Loft achieved by Open End spinning |
| Socks, gloves | Ne 16–21 | Usually combined with elastane in the knit |
| Single jersey | Ne 24–28, up to Ne 40 | We knit this fabric ourselves: 145/160/165/175 g/m², machines 17″–34″ |
| Rib, trims, cuffs | Ne 24–40 (most often 24/26/28) | — |

Pneumomechanical, rotor, Open End (OE) and rotor spinning all mean the same method: the yarn is formed in a fast-spinning rotor, without spindles. What that gives you:
Honestly: on fine counts, Open End yarn has lower tensile strength than ring yarn. If your product needs maximum strength, write to us and we will tell you straight whether we fit.
Pigment is added to the fibre before spinning. Therefore:
Recycled polyester with GRS traceability — for brands that need documented sustainability.
Yarn in bags. Bag weight, pallet type and bag count per 20′ / 40′ container are given on request for a specific count and blend (weight depends on linear density).
For every batch: blend, count, production date, batch number. Enough for labelling, declaration and your customers' requirements.
Invoice, packing list, certificate of origin (CCPIT), GRS, test reports, technical file for the TR CU 017/2011 declaration. TN VED code on request.
Samples: stock yarn and colour card on request. Your own colour after agreeing blend, count and volume (custom colour from 5 tonnes).
Send blend, count and volume — we reply within one business day (Beijing, UTC+8).
