Book excerpt: The purpose of this research was to compile a lexicon of fancy yarns, along with explore non-traditional methods of creating fancy yarns for use in the mechanized, or commercial textile industry. There are many different types of fancy yarns throughout the textile industry. Their uses range from upholstery to apparel and from transportation to home furnishings. Fancy yarns are regarded as any yarn which has deliberate inconsistencies applied during processing. This could include variation through the diameter of the yarn, character, or even in the color. Given the large number of fancy yarns, along with the possibility for a large number of variations, there is also a large number of manufacturing processes that are used in the creation of fancy yarns. A few of the processes used to create fancy yarns include hollow-spindle machinery, fancy twisters, ring-spinning, and chenille machines. These methods have been researched and documented thoroughly. After exploring the traditional methods for fancy yarn creation, untraditional methods were explored, mainly the Gilbos Air Twist System. This system consolidates input feedstock and inserts areas of s- and z-twist throughout the length of the yarn. These areas are separated by areas of entanglement, known as tack points. This research explores the possibilities of yarn creation on the Gilbos Air Twist System. Both yarn samples and fabric samples are included.

It contains close-ups of the yarns themselves together with an analysis to show how appearance and texture can be varied by changing the feedstock or machine settings.Textile historians and conservationists will find the book especially useful in helping to identify yarn types in historical fabrics and in developing an understanding of the variety of yarns available in antiquity and typical uses for them.Fancy yarns is an essential reference to a wide range of industrial textile technologists including spinners, knitters and weavers, fabric and garment manufacturers, students of textile technology and design and curators and conservationists of historical textile collections. - The first book to be devoted exclusively to fancy yarns and fancy doubled yarns - Describes all the major yarn types, their manufacture and potential for use in garments and furnishing fabrics - Includes over 100 drawings, diagrams and photographs
