A powerful USTER tool which builds yarn specifications tailored to end-use. Yarn Quality Profiles help the entire industry to talk about quality in a clear and objective way, based on the unique USTER® STATISTICS benchmarks.

Too often, yarns are specified with only the most basic parameters, such as material and count. That approach is too simple and can lead to huge variations in yarn quality. The damage shows up as huge quality costs in downstream processes and at the retail stage.

USTER® Yarn Quality Profiles set out detailed and clear quality requirements for critical yarn and fiber parameters. They relate directly to the globally-accepted benchmarks in USTER® STATISTICS.

Yarn Quality Profiles are useful at several stages in the textile value chain:

• Spinning mills and yarn traders use them to describe yarn products on offer.
• Weavers, knitters, finishers and others use them to define minimum quality requirements for the yarns they want.
• Retailers and brands use them to add extra specifications to their fabric quality requirements.

Uster Technologies supports Yarn Quality Profiles by analyzing the critical parameters for matching each application. The results are a closely-tailored specification – covering only the important parameters – which is understood by everyone in the industry.
