Twist is the primary binding mechanism for spun yarns. The amount and direction of twist influences many yarn and fabric properties. For knitting yarns, less twist is preferred to produce softer yarns and fabrics. Twist also affects strength, elongation, hairiness, torque, and cover factor. Maintaining a consistent twist level within 3.5% CV is important to avoid quality issues. The formation of spirality in knitted fabrics can be reduced through methods like using low-twist yarns, balanced plied yarns, or alternating S-twist and Z-twist yarns in the feeders.
