Abstract:
Fashion and its components have been discussed and represented a lot like silhouettes, cuts, surface ornamentation and different types of fabrics. Of these, yarn is also one of the main construction element, which helps to create more sophisticated and multiple structure textile consumer goods. Design of yarns is very important part of textile’s design. Fancy yarns are special products of spinning, twisting, wrapping and texturing. It is and will always be up-to-date, as there is no alternative to them. The demand for yarns with structural and/or optical effects is due to the special aesthetic and high decorative appeal to the woven, knitted materials, and other textiles as well. The paper discusses that the unusual structures of fancy yarns are desirable in designing of new textiles. Fabrics which are produced using fancy yarns find applications in normal and high fashion products making them sustainable. It also encourages the application of fancy yarn fabrics in development of fashion products as they are production effective and eco-friendly.
