Slub Yarn

Description

Slub Yarn is a textured yarn intentionally produced with irregularities, called slubs, that give the fabric a unique and natural appearance. These slubs create a variety of thicknesses and uneven textures in the yarn, adding a distinctive, fashionable appeal to fabrics. Slub yarns can be made from different fibers and are often used in casual and contemporary clothing for an artsy, handwoven look. The irregularities in the yarn help produce a fabric with more visual and tactile interest.
