Texturizing yarn with compressed air is one of the most versatile methods of yarn texturing, allowing for the combination of different types of raw yarns. ATY yarn is the result of an air texturizing process in which compressed air is applied through an air jet to create fiber entanglement, producing yarns with varied appearances.
The goal of this process is to achieve visual and textural properties similar to spun yarns like cotton, wool, and acrylic, using tension and heat generated by compressed air. ATY yarns are used in warp, weft, and pile yarns for carpets, warp knitting, as well as in home and industrial textiles.
