Editing Yarn (section)

==== Hosiery yarn ====
Hosiery yarns are used in the manufacturing of [[knitted fabric]]s. Since the knitted materials are more delicate than woven materials; hence hosiery yarns are made 'softer' with fewer [[Twist per inch|twists per inch]] than their woven counterparts. Hosiery yarn comes from a separate spinning process (melt spinning), and is used with circular knitting machines to form fabric.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Wingate|first=Isabel Barnum|url=http://archive.org/details/fairchildsdictio00wing|title=Fairchild's dictionary of textiles|date=1979|publisher=New York : Fairchild Publications|others=Internet Archive|isbn=978-0-87005-198-2|pages=298}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|date=1927-03-01|title=Hosiery Yarns and the Knitted Fabric|journal=Journal of the Textile Institute Proceedings|volume=18|issue=3|pages=P74–P75|doi=10.1080/19447012708665800}}</ref>
