Fancy yarns are special products which are made by spinning, twisting, texturing, wrapping, and knitting of yarn. Yarn is made by assembling textile fibers in a form suitable for knitting or weaving. What makes fancy yarn different from traditional yarn is different linear densities, different twists, different elasticity, and finally different raw materials. Fancy yarns are made to have imperfect designs so that they can look fancy. Their twisting and texturing are done to get new and unspecified design in the clothing. Some manufacturers give effects while knitting and twisting the fancy yarn. Fancy yarns are made from natural as well as synthetic yarn. The materials which are used in producing fancy yarns are cotton, wool, silk, polyester, nylon, blend, etc. Popularity of metallic yarn is growing in the fancy yarn market due to its increasing demand in party wear clothes and curtains. Traditionally, gold and silver were used to make metallic yarn; nowadays, aluminized plastic yarn, aluminum yarn, and aluminized nylon are used to make fancy yarns.
