Material Composition | Durable yet soft projects (e.g., blankets) | Industry Standard: 100% polyester (non-recycled) Our Base: 70% polyester/30% cotton (recycled blend, GRS certified) Our Advanced: 60% polyester/40% cotton (▲) (recycled blend, GRS certified) | Base: Eco-friendly with moderate cost. Advanced: Softer texture (▲) for premium comfort. | Industry: Less sustainable; Base/Advanced: Slightly higher cost than conventional yarns. |
Recycled Content | Eco-conscious projects | Industry Standard: 0% recycled (no certification) Our Base: 30% post-consumer recycled (GRS certified) Our Advanced: 45% post-consumer recycled (▲) (GRS certified) | Advanced: 50% higher recycled content (▲) than Base for sustainability. | Higher recycled content may require premium pricing. |
Manufacturing Technique | High-volume production (e.g., apparel) | Industry Standard: Traditional ring-spun (ISO 2068) Our Base: OE (open end) at 24,000 m/min Our Advanced: OE with 32,000 m/min twist (▲) | Base/Advanced: 40% faster production (▲) than ring-spun; Advanced: 33% stronger yarn (▲). | OE yarn may feel slightly rougher than ring-spun. |
Certifications | Compliance-driven projects | Industry Standard: No certifications Our Base: GRS certified Our Advanced: GRS + Oeko-Tex Standard 100 (▲) | Advanced: Dual certifications (▲) for chemical safety and recycled content. | Certification adds 15–20% to production costs. |
Yarn Strength | Heavy-duty applications (e.g., upholstery) | Industry Standard: 20 N/tex tensile strength (ISO 2068) Our Base: 24 N/tex (▲) Our Advanced: 28 N/tex (▲) | Base: 20% stronger than industry (▲); Advanced: 40% stronger (▲) for durability. | Higher strength may limit flexibility in delicate projects. |
Application Suitability | Versatile crafting needs | Industry Standard: Basic knitting/sewing only Our Base: Knitting, light sewing Our Advanced: Knitting, heavy-duty sewing/upholstery (▲) | Advanced: Handles industrial-grade projects (▲) like outdoor gear. | Base may require thicker yarn for heavy-duty uses. |
