This time, we’ll introduce all the premium features of PREMIUM HIGH STRETCH from our collections.
When we talk about PREMIUM HIGH STRETCH, the key points are:
However, many people may not fully understand how it differs from other stretch yarns.
In this article, we’ll explain what makes PREMIUM HIGH STRETCH truly premium, so you can appreciate its depth and uniqueness.

PREMIUM HIGH STRETCH combines rayon and nylon.
But it’s not just a simple blend—there’s a premium combination at play here.
On the rayon side, low-shrinkage rayon is used, while the nylon side combines heat-resistant, strong, and highly elastic stretch nylon.
Increasing the nylon content naturally enhances stretch, but PREMIUM HIGH STRETCH goes further. By creating a significant difference in shrinkage between the rayon and nylon fibers, the yarn gains additional stretch from the differential shrinkage.
This results in an exceptionally strong, premium stretch that is not achievable with standard rayon stretch yarn.
Moreover, this shrinkage difference creates a subtle texture in the yarn, giving the knitted fabric a distinctive appearance.
For those who want a smooth surface but with a hint of texture, PREMIUM HIGH STRETCH is ideal.
Conversely, using high-shrinkage rayon reduces the shrinkage difference with nylon, producing a fabric with a more subdued texture.
The rayon used in PREMIUM HIGH STRETCH also has a higher whiteness compared to other rayons.
Many rayons worldwide have a yellowish tint, but PREMIUM HIGH STRETCH rayon stands out for its brightness.
This allows for excellent color development and deep, sophisticated hues.
As mentioned earlier, PREMIUM HIGH STRETCH utilizes the shrinkage difference to create a stretch yarn.
The yarn is made in a corded yarn structure to maximize this effect.
It combines:

This design generates a double shrinkage difference in the yarn, creating a twisting structure that provides stronger, premium stretchability than usual.
Because PREMIUM HIGH STRETCH has much stronger elasticity than regular rayon stretch, please take care of the following when handling it:
How was that?
