History of Company

Tuscarora Yarns has been a reliable spun yarn source for the apparel and textile industry since 1899. Over the past 110 years, the company has grown to be the largest manufacturer in the United States of cotton heather and mélange yarns. Both ring spun and open-end equipment are used to produce a very eclectic line of spun yarns with unsurpassed quality.

Tuscarora Yarns' motto is "Spinning the Products of Imagination". Through the experience of its creative work force and state of the art technology, Tuscarora Yarns strives to transform customers' ideas into profitable realities. Unmatched color creation and matching begin in a unique R&D facility that is set up with a mini-manufacturing center, enabling it to develop customer color submits in a matter of minutes. Orders are processed with a just-in-time attitude while maintaining the highest quality standards.

Tuscarora Yarns works with a wide range of fibers to produce heathers, sophisticated mélanges, mock twists, solids and other specialty yarns. This list of fibers includes, but is not limited to, cotton, polyester, acrylic, rayon, Modal, Tencel, flax, wool and silk. Many of these can be spun in their 100% form or can be blended with one another. Yarns are offered in carded, semi-combed and "Five Star Brand" fully combed qualities. The general count range is from 4/1 to 40/1 utilizing both ring spun and open-end spinning. Plied yarns are available in the full count range and in both spinning types. Slub yarns, nub yarns and core spun yarns are also available.

Through Tuscarora's international sales and marketing organization, business can be efficiently handled on a global scale. Tuscarora's bilingual staff has received extensive education in international sales and documentation in preparation for handling all aspects of international trade. Tuscarora also offers package dyed, specialty synthetic and recycled cotton yarns through partner companies.
