With normal TM of PV yarn, it is not sufficient to spin yarn for premium quality high-cost fabrics, the higher twist multiplier is required. The higher twist reduces the production as the twist comes in the denominator in calculating production. This loss in production can be recovered by increasing spindle speed. The about 11 to 15% higher twist multipliers are required for premium quality fabric manufacturers depending on the blends, specialty fibers, single weft/double yarns, and count than normally used twist multipliers of around 3 for grey yarns and other regular PV dyed yarn spinners selling yarn in the domestic market.
