Demand for a range of cotton yarn blends is growing with growing inflow of orders from local and European knitwear producers.
On the other hand, cotton yarn spinners are struggling to sustain their profit margins with gradually dropping demand.
Recently, it is learnt that some domestic manufacturers dissatisfied by the quality of lower-count yarns imports, have opted for local spun yarn.
However, cotton yarns blended with cashmere, wool, silk, linen, hemp and other such materials, are raking up big profits.
The 'super pima' yarn that is a blend of Egyptian ELS cotton similar to cashmere in texture as well as appearance, is also bringing in huge export orders.
Export orders from Japan are also pouring in.
As the popularity of Italian specialty yarn grows, manufacturers shift their operations to low production cost regions.
