Combed, Carded or Compact: Choosing Cotton Yarn

India’s home for luxury yarns and fabrics: cotton, silk, wool, zari and handloom, woven with heritage and delivered worldwide.

Carded yarn is economical and good for heavier, casual fabrics.

Combed yarn removes short fibres for strength, lustre and a smoother surface, ideal for premium shirting.

Compact spinning reduces hairiness further, giving crisp fabric with better colour clarity.
