Yarn structure

Yarn structure Yarn structure (twist or type of yarn) may affect maintenance. For example yarns with high twist would shrink or novelty and complex yarns may catch or snag or get abraded. Blended yarns would mean that both fibre contents would have to be taken care of. You cannot use very hot water when polyester is blended with cotton since it would shrink, however it would not wrinkle much and therefore easier to iron.
