Draw textured yarn (DTY) is made from Partially Oriented Yarn(POY). When the POY is drawn and Twisted at the same time, the end product obtained is a draw textured yarn. The technical specifications of draw textured yarn have made it ideal for a wide range of applications as it can be moulded in several ways as well.

Draw texturized yarn is the most used texturing process in the textile industry owing to the numerous advantages associated with it including its ability to process continuous-Filament yarns of different types of polymer and not only thermoplastics. Further, many heating techniques are used to make the yarns suitable for specific applications.
