Covered yarn

Covered yarn is used in textile for many applications as a preparation process before knitting or weaving but especially for hoisery. In covering, elastane is wrapped with continuous filaments like nylon (polyamide) or polyester. It could be applied as single cover or double cover.

Double covered yarn has elastane fiber with an inner and outer wrapping of flat nylon or polyester – one wrapped in a clockwise direction and, the other counter clockwise.
