What is a technical yarn?
A yarn built to perform. Flame-resistant, and resistant to abrasion, tensile stress or industrial laundering, a technical yarn is engineered for a specific function. For weavers and knitters, it is the starting point for everything: the performance of a textile is decided first by the choice of fibre and blend.
Which industries use Régitex technical yarns?
Fibres and requirements change from one market to the next; the Régitex process does not. Each market has its own page below.
Protective textiles
When safety is not negotiable. Our flame-resistant yarns protect those on the front line: firefighters, police officers, military personnel, electricians, welders, energy utility crews and race car drivers. Spun mostly from solution-dyed fibres, they keep colours true to the uniform, wash after wash.
The analysis service examines fibres before they enter production.
Industrial textiles
Yarns built to last in the most demanding conditions. Dry filtration, technical fabrics, protection against heat, flame or cuts: in each of these applications, we select the fibre for its strength and its service life.
Single or plied constructions, 2 to 4 plies.
Furnishing and apparel
Performance without sacrificing comfort. For furnishings, fashion and sport, we develop technical yarns that feel good to the touch and to wear.
Natural, artificial and synthetic fibres, alone or blended.
Medical textiles
Close to the patient. Bandages, compression, prostheses, antimicrobial textiles: our yarns are designed for direct, prolonged skin contact, with no compromise on performance.
Military textiles
Our technical yarns go into the making of military equipment: flame-resistant combat uniforms, underwear, hoods, gloves and socks. They are designed to withstand the most demanding conditions of use, in the field and through repeated care.
Why choose a yarn manufacturer that serves several markets?
Because you benefit from expertise gained in industries with very different requirements, with the same rigour for every order. Whatever your sector, your yarn goes through the same workshop and gets the same services: our ten production steps, colour matching, laboratory fibre analysis and advice on setting up your machines. Our terms are the same for everyone, too: orders from 2,000 lb and a quote within 24 business hours.
All our yarns are spun in Quebec, in Saint-Joseph-de-Beauce. And for every order, we provide its carbon footprint, a practice still rare in our industry.
Choosing the right technical yarn

Is the 2,000 lb minimum order fixed?

How do you reduce yarn breaks in weaving or knitting?
We take constant care in winding our yarns, to maximize your production time and reduce breaks. Our process is presented on the Expertise page.
