Hybrid yarn is made from two or more different fiber types united in a single yarn. There are two main types: commingled yarn, which intermixes continuous multifilament yarns without twisting, and friction-spun yarn, used for coarse counts and technical yarns combining materials like rayon and kevlar. Hybrid yarns offer advantages like high strength, heat resistance, and cut protection, making them suitable for applications requiring reinforcement, heat proof fabrics, conveyor belts, and composites. They are a promising technology for solving the high viscosity problem in thermoplastic composites.
