Therefore, it makes sense why many products rely heavily as yarn constructions rather than using only filaments because having multiple plies gives these items extra strength which increases is durability over time! Thus, in vi .....

..... rn can also consist of multiple plies that make them thicker and stronger than filaments. Additionally, yarn often come in various sizes that can range from very thin to thick depending on what they re used for.
