In the natural fiber segment, Carded Cotton Yarn (CD) serves as the most popular and economical product line. It is the ideal choice for textile products that require a rustic, natural feel and optimized production costs.

1. Introduction

Carded Cotton Yarn (CD) is produced from natural cotton fibers through the carding process. Unlike the combing process, the production of Carded Cotton Yarn (CD) focuses on cleaning impurities and aligning the fibers into a sliver without thoroughly removing short fibers. This creates a distinct surface texture and hand-feel for the final product.

2. Composition

• Main Component: 100% Cellulose from natural cotton bolls.
• Fiber Production Process: After cleaning away dirt and seed hulls, the cotton fibers are passed through a carding machine to detangle and align them. Since it does not pass through a combing machine, the structure of Carded Cotton Yarn (CD) still includes both long fibers and a certain proportion of short fibers, which are then twisted to form a complete single yarn.

3. Key Characteristics

• High Cost-Efficiency: The streamlined production process helps reduce costs, offering the most competitive price among cotton categories.
• Rustic Appearance: Fabrics woven from Carded Cotton Yarn (CD) usually have a slight surface roughness, providing an authentic feel and a vintage style.
• Excellent Absorbency: It retains the full advantages of natural cotton—breathability and moisture-wicking—ensuring the wearer always feels comfortable.
• Stable Durability: Suitable for medium to heavy-weight fabrics, withstanding the intensity of daily use.
