WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. --

A North Carolina textile company says it is laying off white collar workers in its home city as part of a worldwide cutback that includes closing a yarn plant in China.

The Winston-Salem Journal reported Wednesday that Hanesbrands announced layoffs of 210 corporate and management jobs across the company, including 155 positions in Winston-Salem.

Hanesbrands said half of the cuts are in purchasing, production planning and development and quality control. The other half are in customer management, finance, human resources, information technology and marketing.

The company said it also will close a yarn plant in China by the end of the year and eliminate 185 jobs.
