Novelty Yarn Structures Matching Explained

This question requires matching different types of novelty yarns with their characteristic structures. Let's break down each match:

Match (A) Flock Yarn with (II)

Flock Yarn, also known as sprinkle or flaked yarn, is characterized by small tufts or flocks of fibers that are periodically attached to a base yarn. This matches the description:

• (II) Single yarn in which small tufts of fibers are inserted at regular intervals.

Match (B) Chenille Yarn with (I)

Chenille Yarn has a fuzzy, soft appearance due to cut loops that form a pile along the yarn. This creates a velvety texture.

• (I) Short thick pile yarn with soft velvety appearance.

Match (C) Core-spun Yarn with (IV)

Core-spun Yarn involves a central core yarn (often a filament) wrapped or covered by staple fibers or another yarn. This structure provides strength while allowing for a specific outer texture or appearance.

• (IV) Base yarn is completely covered or wrapped by another yarn.

Match (D) Loop Yarn with (III)

Loop Yarn, which can include types like boucle or frisé, is characterized by intentional loops or curls formed around a base yarn, creating a textured effect.

• (III) Base is heavy and coarse yarn. The effect yarn is curled up around the base and is held by the binder yarn.

Correct Matching

Based on the definitions, the correct pairings are:

• (A) Flock Yarn - (II) Small tufts of fibers inserted at intervals.
• (B) Chenille Yarn - (I) Short thick pile yarn with soft velvety appearance.
• (C) Core-spun Yarn - (IV) Base yarn completely covered or wrapped.
• (D) Loop Yarn - (III) Base heavy, effect yarn curled around it.

This corresponds to Option 2.
