Differences between Woolen and Worsted Yarn Manufacturing Systems


There is a large difference between the spinning and manufacturing process of both woolen and worsted yarn. These are the two different systems through which different grades of yarns are produced from the wool taken from different animals like sheep, alpaca, rabbits, goats and llama.

Worsted Yarns

  • Have a long staple length (4 inch fibers and longer only)
  • Are carded and combed
  • Have a tight twist in spinning
  • Are stronger
  • Are finer, smoother, and have more even fibers
  • Are harder

Woolen Yarns

  • Have a short staple (1 - 4 inch long fibers)
  • Are carded only
  • Have a slack twist
  • Are weaker
  • Are bulkier
  • Are softer
