What is the advantage of adding twist to yarn?

The amount of twist added into a yarn will determine the property of the yarn in terms of durability, flexibility, resilience and strength. A high-twist yarn may offer a hard and relatively stiff yarn, whereas a low-twist may give a weak yarn that is more flexible. Finer yarns have more twists in them than coarser ones, and warp yarns have more twists in them than weft yarns. Fabrics with a soft surface, e.g. peach effect, have a slack twist called soft twist, which allows fiber ends to be pulled to the surface. Fabrics with smooth surfaces have a higher amount of twist, which offers extra strength and some crease resistance, whereas textured surface fabrics, such as crêpe, are given a maximum twist.
