Gimp yarn is a type of elastic yarn produced by wrapping another fiber around an elastane or rubber core. It provides high elasticity and durability.
Gimp yarn is used in socks, medical textiles, sportswear, underwear, swimwear, and various technical textile applications.
It offers high elasticity, strong wrap structure, durability, stability, and long-lasting performance. It also improves shape retention in end products.
It is typically produced using an elastane core wrapped with polyester, nylon, or cotton fibers.
Quality issues may result from improper winding tension, low-quality core materials, incorrect spooling, or vibration in the production line.
