There are a few types of yarn that can be used for knitting, and each has its own unique benefits and drawbacks.
What is Drawn Textured Yarn?
Drawn textured yarn is made from a blend of two or more types of yarns. The blended yarn is then drawn through a process called drawing, which creates microscopic bumps and ridges on the surface of the yarn. This makes the yarn less smooth and gives it a textured appearance.
Fully drawn yarn is made entirely from drawn textured yarn like Nylon DTY, with no blended yarn in the mix. This produces a more uniform texture across the entire piece of knitting, making it look smoother than drawn textured yarn.
While both types of yarn can be used for knitting, drawn textured yarn is often preferred for projects that need a bit of extra texture, such as blankets or scarves. Fully drawn yarn is usually used for projects that need to look smooth, such as sweaters or hats.

What is Fully Drawn Yarn?
Fully drawn yarn is a type of yarn that is fully drawn before it is knitted or crocheted. This means that the yarn has been spun so that it has been pulled tight enough to form a thread, but not so tight that the yarn can no longer be spun into new threads. This creates a more textured fabric than drawn textured yarn. Fully Drawn Yarn is also known as Drawing Yarn.
Difference between Drawn Textured Yarn and Fully Drawn Yarn
Drawn Textured Yarn is a type of yarn that has been drawn through a spindle multiple times to give it a rough texture. Fully Drawn Yarn is a type of yarn that has been drawn through the spindle only once.
The main difference between Drawn Textured Yarn and Fully Drawn Yarn is that Drawn Textured Yarn like Polyester DTY and Nylon DTY has a rougher texture than Fully Drawn Yarn. This is because Drawn Textured Yarn has been drawn through the spindle multiple times, which gives it a more pronounced texture.

Conclusion
If you're looking to create a textured fabric, you should consider using drawn yarn instead of fully drawn yarn. Drawn yarn is made up of smaller diameter threads that are twisted together in Yarn twisting machine. This process creates a texture on the surface of the fabric that is different than what would be created with fully drawn yarn. Fully drawn yarn is made up of large diameter threads that are not twisted together and results in a smoother surface texture.
