Four yarn families, eleven products
Every yarn is spun and wound at our Barnala unit and dispatched by road.
White Cotton Yarn
100% cotton, ring spun, single ply, in an optical white finish. Our white cotton yarn is made for knitting and weaving mills producing home textiles and apparel fabric.

A ring-spun blend of polyester and cotton. The polyester adds strength and shape retention while cotton keeps the hand soft — suited to knitting, weaving and specialised fleece.

Dyeable Cotton Yarn
Clean cotton yarn prepared to take dye evenly, in single and double ply. Supplied in white, ready for your own shade cards.

What mills get from our yarn
Ring spun
Our main counts are ring spun for a stronger, smoother yarn that runs cleanly on knitting machines and looms.
High CSP
We spin for strength. Higher count-strength product means fewer breaks and less downtime on your machines.
Optical white
Bright, consistent white for fabric that stays white, and clean dyeable yarn for shades you match yourself.
Dispatched by road
Orders ship by road from Barnala, with eight payment options from cash and cheque to wire transfer.
From fibre to cone
The ring-spinning route every kilogram of our yarn follows.
Fibre selection
Cotton, polyester or reclaimed fibre is chosen and blended for the count and use.
Opening & carding
Fibre is opened, cleaned and carded into a continuous sliver.
Drawing & roving
Slivers are drawn out to even them, then lightly twisted into roving.
Ring spinning
Roving is drafted and twisted into yarn of the required count.
Winding & dispatch
Yarn is wound onto cones, checked, packed and sent by road.
