caption_attribution_description: Some specialty yarns. From the bottom: rainbow ribbon, rainbow flag and braided lavender sparkly. The red yarn at the top is an ordinary hand-spun yarn for comparison. See also Image:Specialty_yarns_ribbon_flags_braid.png, which omits the normal yarn at the top.
context_page_description: Novelty yarns include a wide variety of yarns made with unusual features, structure or fiber composition such as slubs, inclusions, metallic or synthetic fibers, laddering and varying thickness introduced during production. Some linens, wools to be woven into tweed, and the uneven filaments of some types of silk are allowed to retain their normal irregularities, producing the characteristic uneven surface of the finished fabric. Man-made fibres, which can be modified during production, are especially adaptable for special effects such as crimping and texturizing.
