cord yarn

Cord yarn is a type of yarn made by twisting together two or more ply yarns. The final twist is typically in the opposite direction of the ply twist. This construction can result in strong, heavy-duty materials suitable for industrial fabrics, rope, or twine. Conversely, cord yarns made from very fine fibers can be used for delicate, sheer dress fabrics. The properties of any yarn, including cord yarn, significantly impact the final fabric's appearance, texture, and performance. Cord yarn can also refer to a rib-like texture on a textile.12
