Polyester DTY Yarn
Polyester DTY (Draw Textured Yarn) is our flagship product and one of China's most widely exported textile raw materials. Produced by simultaneously drawing and texturing POY through a precision draw-texturing machine, DTY has a characteristic crimped, elastic, and soft-bulk structure that makes it ideal for a wide range of fabric applications. Yaakan sources DTY directly from China's leading polyester producers — Hengli, Tongkun, and Xinfengming — ensuring consistent quality and competitive FOB Xiamen pricing for buyers worldwide.
