Twisting is applied to DTY, ATY, and FDY yarns to impart specific properties such as improved handling, drape, and resiliency. Widely used twisting methods include Two-for-One (TFO) and Ring Twister. To achieve particular visual characteristics, multi-ply twisting and cabling techniques are also employed. In order to maintain the quality of twisted yarns (TFY), twist-setting is required as a finishing step.
TFY yarns are used in the following applications:
Home Textiles:
