The strength of a yarn is the ability of the yarn to withstand forces under stress. The strength of a yarn depends on factors such as its material, fiber length and fiber density. Generally speaking, the longer and denser the fiber, the higher the strength of the yarn. In addition, the processing and quality of the yarn will also affect its strength. Generally, high quality yarns will have higher strength.

How do consumers determine the strength of yarn before purchasing?
1. Check the label on the yarn package: The strength level of the yarn is usually marked on the yarn package, such as "superfine", "fine", "medium", and "coarse". Consumers can choose the appropriate intensity level according to their needs.
2. Yarn tensile test: Consumers can stretch the yarn for a certain length to observe whether it is easy to break, so as to judge the strength of the yarn.
3. Consult professionals: You can consult textile professionals or experienced handicraft enthusiasts to understand the difference in yarn strength between different types and brands, so as to make a choice.
4. The material and application of the reference yarn: the yarn strength of different materials is different, for example, the strength of cotton yarn is generally higher than that of silk yarn. At the same time, yarns for different purposes also have different strength requirements, for example, crochet fabrics require relatively strong yarns.
5. Refer to the evaluations of other consumers: You can check the evaluations of other consumers before buying yarn to understand the strength and use effect of the yarn.
6. Look at the quality standards: pay attention to whether there are relevant quality standards or specification requirements on the yarn packaging, such as ISO9001, Oeko-tex and other marks. This provides yarn quality assurance.
7. Look at the packaging: observe whether the yarn packaging is complete, whether the seal is firm, and whether the marking is clear, etc., to avoid problems such as yarn core leakage and pollution caused by poor packaging.
8. Check the appearance: Check whether the surface of the yarn is even, whether there are burrs, knots and other problems. If the yarn surface is uneven or has many burrs, this may affect the strength of the yarn.
In addition, consumers can also improve the quality assurance of yarn purchases by purchasing yarns of well-known brands and choosing yarns with good weight and packaging.
