Contract twisting – your twisted yarn in good hands This week we had the opportunity to sample 400 kg of high tenacity twisted yarn for a global textile company. We are very satisfied with the result. The twisted yarn we produced exceeds the required tensile strengths and could be produced with minimal yarn waste.
