Haccho Twisted Yarn
Haccho Twisted Yarn refers to a method of producing plied yarn, or the yarn itself, in which multiple yarns are given twists in different directions to balance the twisting forces and reduce twisting.

Definition and Overview
Haccho Twisted Yarn is a twisting method for combining multiple yarns that adjusts the twist direction and amount of each yarn to make it easier to offset twisting forces. It is used to obtain a well-balanced yarn that resists twisting and curling caused by twist.
Haccho twisting is a term that indicates a yarn manufacturing method, not the type of fiber, the structure of woven or knitted fabric, or the fabric name. Even with the same Haccho Twisted Yarn, the fabric thickness, texture, and applications vary depending on the material, yarn count, amount of twist, and finishing process.
Texture and Appearance Characteristics
When the twist balance is well adjusted, the yarn is less likely to twist, and the finished woven or knitted fabric is less likely to show bias distortion or curling. Because multiple yarns are combined, it is also characterized by a fuller hand, different appearance, and moderate firmness compared with single yarn.
Luster, crispness, fuzziness, strength, and stretch are not properties determined by Haccho twisting alone. It is important to check whether the material is filament yarn or spun yarn, the degree of twist, yarn thickness, and the density of the woven or knitted structure together.
Main Applications
Haccho Twisted Yarn is used in woven and knitted fabrics where yarn twisting needs to be controlled. Depending on the material and design, it is used for applications that require appearance and dimensional stability, such as shirts, blouses, knitwear, lightweight clothing, dress fabrics, and fashion accessories.
Seasonal suitability cannot be determined by the yarn manufacturing method alone. Thin woven or knitted items made with fine yarn count are more likely to be suitable for spring and summer, while thicker yarn counts and higher-density designs may also be suitable for autumn and winter. The intended use is determined by checking fabric weight, thickness, and breathability with a fabric swatch.
How to Choose and Handling Notes
When selecting, check the blending ratio, yarn count, structure such as single or plied yarn, twist direction, woven or knitted structure, and fabric weight. Also check the appearance of the front and back of the fabric and the grain direction, and before cutting, relax the roll to see whether there is dimensional change or bias distortion.
Shifts in shrinkage and texture due to washing are mainly affected by the type of fiber and finishing. Before mass production, perform a water soak or washing test and reflect the shrinkage rate in the pattern. In sewing, adjust the needle, thread, and feed conditions according to the fabric's stretch and slipperiness, and check for puckering.
- Follow the care label instructions for each fabric when washing and ironing.
- Check the grain direction and bias distortion before and after cutting.
- Before mass production, check the dimensions after washing, the appearance of seams, and twisting.
Differences from Similar Terms
Twisting is a general term for the basic operation of applying rotation to fibers or yarns to bundle them together. Haccho twisting refers to a twisting method that combines the twist of multiple yarns while considering the balance of twisting forces.
High-twist yarn is yarn with a large amount of twist and is used for purposes such as creating crispness and a cool feel. Haccho Twisted Yarn can also be designed with a high twist, but the two are not synonymous. Whether it is Haccho twisting and whether it is high-twist should be checked separately.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Haccho Twisted Yarn the same as high-twist yarn?
No, they are not the same. High-twist yarn refers to yarn with a large amount of twist, while Haccho Twisted Yarn refers to a manufacturing method that combines the twist direction and twisting force of multiple yarns. It may be designed as high-twist with Haccho twisting, but the twisting strength cannot be determined from the name alone.
Does fabric made with Haccho Twisted Yarn shrink when washed?
The degree of shrinkage is not determined only by whether Haccho twisting is used. It varies depending on the material such as cotton, wool, and silk, the woven or knitted structure, dyeing and finishing processes, and washing conditions. Before product development, it is necessary to test under the intended washing conditions and check the shrinkage rate and twisting.
