Custom & Blended Yarns
Elmika coordinates made-to-order custom and blended yarn production for textile manufacturers requiring specific fibre compositions, yarn counts, colours and performance characteristics.
Tell us the required blend, application and approximate quantity, and we will review suitable production options with our manufacturing partners.
Yarn Made to Your Specification
Custom yarn development allows fibre composition and yarn construction to be adapted to the intended textile application.
Elmika works with manufacturing partners to review technically feasible combinations based on the required properties, yarn count and commercial quantity.
Specifications We Can Review
- Fibre composition
- Blend ratios
- Yarn count
- Single or plied construction
- Colour requirements
- Performance characteristics
- Packaging requirements
- Production quantity
Fibre and Blend Options
Available fibre combinations depend on the required yarn construction, end application, production capability and minimum manufacturing quantity.
Cotton Blends
Cotton can be combined with polyester, acrylic and other fibres to balance comfort, durability, cost and performance.
Polyester Blends
Polyester blends can provide strength, durability, dimensional stability and consistent textile performance.
Acrylic Blends
Acrylic may be incorporated where softness, bulk, colour retention or wool-like characteristics are required.
Viscose & Cellulosic Blends
Cellulosic fibres may be used to improve softness, moisture management and wearer comfort.
Wool Blends
Wool can be combined with synthetic fibres to balance warmth, resilience, durability and commercial performance.
Technical Fibre Blends
Specialised fibres can be combined for applications requiring flame resistance, strength or other functional characteristics.
Why Use Blended Yarns?
Balance of Properties
Different fibres can be combined to balance strength, softness, durability, moisture management or thermal performance.
Application Performance
Blend ratios can be selected according to the intended knitted, woven or technical textile application.
Commercial Optimisation
Fibre selection can help achieve the required performance while maintaining a commercially viable yarn specification.
Typical Applications
Custom and blended yarns can be developed for a wide range of industrial and textile manufacturing applications.
- Knitted fabrics
- Woven fabrics
- Workwear
- Uniform fabrics
- Home textiles
- Fashion textiles
- Protective clothing
- Industrial textile products
The Right Blend Depends on the End Use
A suitable fibre combination should be selected according to the required textile performance rather than simply by fibre type.
For performance or protective applications, see our Technical & Functional Yarns .
How Custom Yarn Supply Works
1. Send Your Requirement
Provide the required composition, yarn count, colour, application, quantity and delivery destination.
2. Technical Review
We review the specification with suitable manufacturing partners and assess production feasibility.
3. Production & Delivery
Once specifications and commercial terms are agreed, production is arranged and the yarn is shipped to your nominated destination.
Colour Options
Colour availability depends on fibre composition, yarn count, production method and minimum order quantity.
Standard Colours
Existing production shades may provide the most efficient option for commercial orders.
Custom Shades
Custom colours can be reviewed against supplied colour references where production quantities permit.
Blended Colour Effects
Different coloured fibres may also be combined to create mélange, heathered or blended visual effects.
