The texturing process in Black DTY yarn can have an impact on the weight and thickness of the yarn compared to non-textured yarns. The texturing process involves heat setting and stretching the yarn, resulting in a yarn with improved elasticity, softness, and bulk. Here's how it can affect the weight and thickness:
Increased Bulk: The texturing process introduces bulk to the yarn by creating loops and crimps along its length. This added bulk can make the yarn appear thicker compared to non-textured yarns of the same weight.
Enhanced Loftiness: The crimped structure of textured yarns, including DTY, contributes to increased loftiness. This loftiness can make the yarn feel fuller and plumper, influencing the overall thickness and weight perception.
Improved Drape: While the texturing process adds bulk, it also enhances the drape of the yarn. Despite the increased thickness, DTY yarn often maintains a soft and flexible drape, making it suitable for various projects.
Elasticity and Stretch: The texturing process imparts stretchiness to Black DTY yarn, allowing it to bounce back to its original shape after being stretched. This characteristic can affect the perceived thickness when the yarn is in use, as it can conform to the shape of the stitches or fabric.
Consistency in Weight: Although the texturing process influences the visual and tactile aspects of the yarn, the weight (measured in grams or ounces) remains a standardized measure. This means that, in terms of weight, a certain length of textured DTY yarn should be comparable to the same weight of non-textured yarn.
