Crêpe yarns are used to make fabrics with a wrinkled surface and a sandy handle. They are made from highly twisted yarns. Fabric examples: crêpe de chine, georgette, crepon, marocain. Blends Most modern fabrics contain more than one fibre. This is because there is no such thing as the perfect fibre so manufacturers include different fibres in a blend. Blending is achieved by spinning two or more fibres together to make a yarn. This enables a fabric to be made which will be better suited to the product. In order to make a successful blend, the fibres must be the same length so that they can be mixed together before they are spun into a yarn. Continuous filament yarns can be twisted together to make a multi-filament yarn, e.g. polyester and nylon.
