Q
what is neps in yarn
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Neps in yarn refer to small entanglements or clusters of fibers that can occur naturally or as a result of the spinning and weaving processes. These tiny knots or balls are typically considered imperfections in the yarn, affecting its texture and appearance. In some fabrics, like tweed, neps are intentionally included to add a distinctive character and aesthetic appeal. However, in yarns aiming for a smooth and uniform look, neps are usually undesirable. The formation of neps can be influenced by the type of fiber, with some materials like cotton and wool being more prone to developing these irregularities. Advances in textile manufacturing technologies have aimed to reduce the incidence of unintentional neps, enhancing the quality and consistency of yarns.
