PC yarn is a “poly-cotton” blend in which polyester is usually the majority fibre — commonly 65% polyester and 35% cotton. It is one of the most widely used blends in apparel for its strength, easy care and value.
What PC yarn is
PC combines polyester’s strength, wrinkle-resistance and low cost with cotton’s breathability and comfort. The standard 65/35 poly/cotton ratio gives durable, shape-holding fabric that dries fast and needs little ironing — ideal for high-wash, high-wear uses.
PC vs CVC vs 100% cotton
| Option | Feel | Durability | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100% cotton | Softest, breathable | Good | Varies with cotton |
| CVC (cotton-majority) | Cotton-like | Higher | Moderate |
| PC (poly-majority) | Smooth, crisp | Highest | Lowest |
Where PC is used
PC is the go-to for uniforms, workwear, institutional wear, value t-shirts and shirting — anywhere durability, easy care and price matter. It also takes disperse dyeing well for bright, fast colours.
