Corespun yarns are generally made of a continuous polyester fibre with what are referred to as "staple fibres" such as cotton or hemp wrapped around, and often finished with a gloss coating. Combined we end up with a very strong thread, with an interesting property: when it gets wet, the sheath expands, and if used in stitching, fills the stitch holes creating a waterproof seal. This is especially useful in shoes and boots, greatcoats, jackets, tents, weatherproof covers and sails. This does not impact on the strength of the thread because that is all in the polyester core.
There's another important property of such threads: during the textile manufacturing process, these threads pass through the sewing machine needles at very high speed. This would be enough to cause sufficient friction to melt the core (and jam the machine), but as it is insulated by the cotton sheath, melting is prevented.

What happens after yarn is made?
Yarn is spun and then sold for craft use.
What is the difference between a spun yarn a filament yarn and a textured bulk filament yarn?
difference between spun yarn and filament yarn
What is the difference between ring spun and open end yarn?
Ring spun yarn is when the yarn is both twisted and wound at the same time. Open ended spun yarn is when the yarn is twisted by rotating at the hap or break in the flow.
An informal story spun out in a casual way?
A yarn. Hence- "spun".
What is the difference between spun yarn and synthetic yarn?
Any fibre, regardless of the source -- natural or man-made, can be spun. Synthetic yarn contains no natural fibres.
How do you improve Elongation percent in Ring spun Yarn?
There are three commercial methods of spinning yarn into the product we see at the store. They are called Ring Spun, Rotor Spun, and Friction Spun. Each method produces different results in the yarn. Increasing the elongation percent in Ring Spun yarn requires a fiber preparation method of carding (brushing). This will produce a softer, longer yarn whis is best used for knitted items.
Conversion of staple fiber into yarn is called?
Individual fibers are spun into yarn.
How much cotton to make yarn and what is the cotton to yarn ratio?
Yarn can be spun from 100% cotton, or may be added to other yarns in whatever ratio is useful for the use of the yarn.
What does the term ring spun mean?
The term ring spun means that the yarn was spun with a ring device. The handle has a soft touch to it. It results in the yarn being soft and very durable and strong.
This was spun to make designs on clothing?
yarn
How is wool turn into cloth?
Fleece-bearing animals are shorn. Their fleece is sorted, cleaned, carded and spun into yarn. Weavers then use the yarn to fabricate cloth.
What is ring spun carded and combed yarn and what are their uses?
There are three commercial methods of spinning yarn into the product we see at the store. They are called Ring Spun, Rotor Spun, and Friction Spun. Each method produces different results in the yarn. The full question, ring spun carded and combed, refers to the fiber preparation method of carding (brushing) and combing the fibers prior to spinning, in order to form a softer yarn which is best for soft knit items. The fibers are spun in a ring arrangement making it unnecessary for extra plies, so the yarn is much finer. There is also a downside to using ring spun, because the very process that causes it to be softer also causes the yarn to be more prone to breaking.
