20s/3 Red 100% Polyester Ring Spun Yarn Weaving Knitting

Product Overview

Our 20s/3 Red 100% Polyester Ring Spun Yarn is a versatile workhorse for textile production, offering strength, color consistency, and multi-process compatibility. This yarn features a 20s three-ply construction—three 20s single-ply strands twisted together—creating exceptional tensile strength and structural stability, suitable for both weaving (heavy fabrics) and knitting (sturdy knits). Its deep red hue (Pantone 186 C equivalent) is achieved through dope dyeing, where pigments are integrated into polyester fibers during extrusion, ensuring permanent colorfastness that resists bleeding, fading, or dulling even after 100+ washes. Made from 100% high-tenacity polyester, it balances durability with softness, making it ideal for fashion apparel, home textiles, and technical fabrics where red is a signature or functional color (e.g., safety gear).

Product Specifications

Material: 100% polyester (virgin or GRS-certified recycled options)

Yarn Structure: 20s/3 (three-ply, 18–20 tex) with Z-twist (120–140 turns/meter)

Color: Deep red (Pantone 186 C) with dope-dyed pigment integration

Tensile Strength: 5.0–7.0 cN/dtex (30% higher than single-ply 20s yarn)

Pilling Resistance: Level 4–5 (ASTM D3512) due to tight three-ply twist

Abrasion Resistance: 40,000+ Martindale cycles (suitable for heavy-use fabrics)

Certifications: OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 (Class II), GRS (for recycled variants)

Product Features

Permanent Red Vibrancy: Dope-dyed color penetrates each fiber, resisting fading from washing (ISO 105-C06 Level 5), sunlight (ISO 105-B02 Level 4), and friction—ideal for color-critical applications.

Structural Integrity: Three-ply twist distributes tension evenly, preventing unraveling or fraying in high-stress areas like seams, hems, and fastener edges.

Eco-Conscious Options: GRS-certified recycled variants use post-consumer PET bottles, reducing carbon footprint by 45% while maintaining the same color and strength as virgin versions.

Dual-Process Versatility: Performs equally well in weaving (jacquard, twill, plain weaves) and knitting (circular, flat bed), with consistent tension that simplifies production setup.

Applications

Fashion Industry: Red denim jeans, statement dresses, and outerwear where color saturation and durability are key—retains boldness through seasonal trends.

Home Textiles: Accent curtains, upholstery fabrics, and bed linens that require colorfastness to sunlight and frequent washing.

Technical Textiles: Safety apparel (high-visibility vests), military uniforms, and automotive interiors where red serves functional (visibility) or branding purposes.

FAQ

Q: Can this yarn be used as heavy-duty sewing thread for upholstery or leather?

A: Yes. Its high tensile strength (5.0–7.0 cN/dtex) and three-ply structure make it suitable for stitching thick fabrics like leather, canvas, and upholstery materials.

Q: Does the red color bleed onto other fabrics during washing?

A: No. Dope-dyeing locks pigments into fiber molecules, resulting in zero bleeding in cold (30°C) or hot (60°C) washes, tested per AATCC 61-2013.

Q: What’s the lead time for bulk orders, and can rush orders be accommodated?

A: Standard lead time is 4–6 weeks for virgin polyester; 6–8 weeks for GRS recycled. Rush orders (3-week delivery) are available with a 20% premium fee.
