Unifi Inc. said it would dismiss 200 employees, or 3.5 percent of its work force, when the company closes two yarn factories to cut operating costs. After the job cuts, Unifi will have 5,500 employees, the company said. Unifi, which is based in Greensboro, N. C., said it would close two older yarn plants in Graham and Lincolnton, N.C., by Feb. 1 to concentrate on running its 14 remaining plants more efficiently. Unifi took ownership of the two factories, which make yarns used in socks, women's hosiery and waistbands, when it acquired Spanco Yarns last month. Unifi also makes textured polyester and nylon. The company had revenues of $1.70 billion for the year ended June 29. Its shares rose 18.75 cents yesterday, to $37.75.
