Our 8s Melange Open End Recycled Polyester Cotton Yarn merges sustainability and style through its unique heathered appearance and eco-friendly composition. Made from 60% recycled polyester (from PET bottles) and 40% recycled cotton (from post-industrial cotton waste), it features a heathered melange effect created by blending pre-dyed fibers during spinning—eliminating the need for post-production dyeing. This process not only reduces water usage by 70% but also creates a rich, multi-tonal texture that hides minor wear and adds visual interest. The open-end (OE) spinning process ensures affordability and consistent quality, making it ideal for casual wear, denim, and everyday textiles where durability and aesthetics are equally important.

Our 8s Melange OE Yarn (also named Open End Recycled Polyester Cotton Yarn) is a sustainable, high-performance textile raw material tailored for large-scale fabric production. Crafted from 60% GRS-certified recycled polyester (sourced from post-consumer PET bottles) and 40% recycled cotton (from post-industrial cotton waste), this recycled polycotton knitting yarn delivers a unique heathered melange aesthetic via pre-dyed fiber blending during spinning, eliminating the need for post-production dyeing. This innovative process cuts water usage by 70% and chemical discharge by 80%, while the 8s coarse count (59–65 tex) is optimized for thick, textured fabrics that balance durability and visual appeal.
With ultra-low hairiness (<5 mg/m), our GRS certified recycled melange yarn minimizes machine downtime and thread breakage during high-speed knitting and weaving, significantly boosting production efficiency and ensuring consistent stitch quality for bulk orders.
The advanced open-end (OE) spinning process delivers uniform yarn performance across every batch, reducing material waste in production. We offer flexible bulk order options, with 10-day fast delivery for stock items, supporting continuous production for large textile manufacturers.
This yarn holds OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 and GRS certifications, helping apparel brand owners and fabric producers meet global environmental regulations and consumer demands for sustainable textiles, with full traceability of recycled raw materials.

Our low hairiness OE yarn for high speed knitting is produced via a fully traceable open-end spinning process. We sort and clean recycled raw materials, blend pre-dyed fibers to create the melange effect, then complete spinning in one step with advanced automated equipment. Our quality control team conducts full inspections for every production stage, including fiber blending ratio, tensile strength, hairiness, and color fastness, ensuring zero batch-to-batch deviation for bulk production.

For optimal performance, this yarn is compatible with most circular knitting and shuttle looms. We recommend conducting sample trials before mass production, especially for screen printing or embroidery projects. Store the yarn in a dry, well-ventilated warehouse with a temperature of 15–25℃ and relative humidity of 40–60%, away from direct sunlight and rain, with stacking height not exceeding 8 layers to avoid compression damage.
Yes, custom color ratios are available with a minimum order of 10 tons, with free color swatches provided for approval before production.
The yarn has minimal shrinkage (<3%) after the first wash, thanks to polyester reinforcement, suitable for pre-shrinking in garment production.
Yes, its excellent UV resistance and moisture-wicking properties make it ideal for outdoor cushions, patio furniture upholstery, and camping gear.
