What is ring-spun yarn?
Ring-spun yarn is a superior cotton yarn that results in a softer, more durable fabric than open-end yarn. The time-honored process of ring spinning requires two more processing steps than open-end yarn production and ring-spun yarn takes five times longer to produce.The additional steps involve continuously twisting and narrowing the rope of cotton fibers. This continuous fiber “helix” or twist gives ring-spun yarn extra softness and strength. The resulting garments feel softer wash after wash.
