Question

Complex yarns are uneven in texture, providing an interesting appearance to the fabric. Corded complex yarns have the following components:
• [A.] Base yarn
• [B.] Bulky yarn
• [C.] Loop yarn
• [D.] Effect yarn
• [E.] Binder yarn Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

• A. B and C Only
• B. A, D and E Only
• C. A, B and C Only
• D. A and D Only

Hint:

To build a fancy yarn, remember the "Three Strands" rule: one for Strength (Base), one for Style (Effect), and one for Security (Binder).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: Fancy or complex yarns (like bouclé, gimp, or slub) are constructed using different strands of yarn performing distinct roles to achieve a specific aesthetic effect.

Step 1: Identifying functional components: In almost all high-quality fancy yarn structures, three specific yarn types are required:
• Base/Core Yarn (A): This strand provides the mechanical strength and stability to the complex structure.
• Effect Yarn (D): This yarn is fed at a higher speed or different tension to create loops, knots, or slubs (the visual texture).
• Binder Yarn (E): This yarn is wrapped around the base and effect yarns to "bind" or lock the effect in place so it does not slide.

Step 2: Conclusion: While bulky or loop yarns (B and C) are types of effects, the components used to build the complex yarn are the Base, Effect, and Binder (A, D, E). Thus, option (2) is correct.
