Doubling combines multiple yarn strands to create plied yarns, which are stronger and more uniform. This technique is used for specialty blended or multi-strand yarns. We can ply up to four strands of yarn, accommodating customized blends of fibers such as wool, bison, alpaca, nylon, polyester, and Kevlar®. Depending on the need, we can ply up to five or even six strands, but only specific cases. Doubling enhances the durability and yarn performance for technical textile applications.

The Doubling Process
The Doubling Process - Step 1

Selecting Yarn Strands

Individual strands are chosen for plying (e.g., two wool strands, or one wool + one nylon strand).

The Doubling Process - Step 2

Parallel Alignment

The strands are guided onto a doubling frame.

The Doubling Process - Step 3

Controlling Evenness

The yarns are kept under precise tension to ensure uniform structure.

The Doubling Process - Step 4

Spooling

The plied yarn is wound onto tubes, ready for the twisting process.
