As the name suggests, monofilament: 1 strand, multifilament: 2 or more strands, single yarn: 1 strand. Multi strand yarn: 2 strands or more.

 

As the name suggests, monofilament: 1 strand, multifilament: 2 or more strands, single yarn: 1 strand. Multi strand yarn: 2 strands or more.

Difference between monofilament, multifilament, single yarn, and multi strand yarn:

1. Monofilament: A small single filament produced using a single hole spinneret in chemical fiber production. Its fineness is thicker than that of a single filament in a multifilament. The melted synthetic resin is condensed into a fine stream of raw liquid squeezed out from the fine pores of the spinneret. Alternatively, a porous spinneret (up to 50 holes) can be used for spinning, followed by untwisted stretching and spinning to form a single filament tube.

2. Composite filament: a type of chemical fiber filament. It is a twisted or untwisted bundle made by combining fine threads spun from a porous spinneret. A multifilament composed of multiple single fibers is softer than a single fiber of the same fineness.

3. Single yarn: Simply put, textile single yarn is woven with one thread, while double yarn is woven by combining two yarns.

4. Stranded yarn: Stranded yarn is a thread made by twisting two or more single yarns together. Its strength and wear resistance are better than single yarn. At the same time, the strands can also be combined and twisted in a certain way to obtain double stranded strands, triple stranded strands, and multi stranded strands. Mainly used for sewing thread, weaving thread or medium thick and sturdy fabrics
