Twisted Yarn

Twisted yarn is made by twisting two or more yarns together a further time, for the sake of greater durability.

What sets twisted yarn apart from single yarn

Fabrics made from twisted yarn are flatter, more even and more tear-resistant than fabrics made from single yarn. The extra twisting also gives the material a more refined look.

Why this matters for your underwear

The higher price of twisted-yarn fabric reflects the more elaborate production – in return, you get a material that is noticeably more hard-wearing and longer-lasting.
