We produce a range of cotton-polyester mix mussel meshes.

We use three types of cotton-polyester mix yarn. Details are given in the table below.

 

Yarn Type Cotton-Polyester Mix
Name DPC 15 DPC 20 DPC 40
% Cotton Content 85 80 60
% Polyester Content 15 20 40
Average Knitted Width (Stretched) (mm) 310
Thread Count* 16/1

 

*The thread count is indicative of the yarn weight and strength e.g. 16/1 yarn is approximately 20% heavier and stronger than 20/1 yarn.  Therefore, while 16/1 yarn is easier for operators to use, 20/1 yarn is more delicate and has a longer knitted length per kilogram. We currently only stock cotton-polyester mix yarn in 16/1 count. If you have a preference for a different thread count, let us know and we will try and meet your requirements.

An approximation of knitted mesh length for each yarn is as follows:

1kg 20/1 yarn = 200m knitted mesh

1kg 16/1 yarn = 160m knitted mesh
