Compact yarn is a ring-spun yarn in which the fibres are condensed before twisting, so it has less hairiness and is stronger and smoother. The fabric shows a cleaner surface, clearer colours and less pilling.
It is worth it for premium T-shirts, polo shirts and white or light articles, where flaws show easily, and when you plan fine printing. It costs more than conventional ring yarn, so for volume products it is not always necessary. Ask whether the yarn is compact or conventional ring and compare with a sample.
