Microfiber Yarn: Good Choice for Sweaters and Lounge-wear
As a knitwear manufacturer or knitted garment firm, the type of yarn you choose has a direct effect on how well your major orders do. This is especially true for sweaters and lounge-wear, where comfort, durability, and consistency are what keep people coming back. Douyou Yarn Company, a professional Fancy Yarn maker with more than 25 years of experience working with industry partners. We have made our Microfiber Yarn better so that it may be used in large quantities. Our Microfiber Yarn is more than merely a material; it helps you work more efficiently, cut down on waste, and develop things that stand out in crowded markets. It comes in a full range of parameters from 3.8NM to 13NM and is certified by the Global Recycled Standard (GRS).
Why Microfiber Yarn Is a Must-Have for Making Lots of Loungewear and Warm Sweaters
Microfiber Yarn is the best choice for industrial partners who want to place large orders because of three non-negotiable reasons: it is consistent, functional, and scalable. Here’s a list of reasons why it’s the only thing that can meet your bulk manufacturing needs:
Consistency for making a lot of things:
Automated quality control makes sure that huge batches of microfiber yarn are made. This means that when you get more orders during busy times of the year (like Q4 Christmas lounge-wear or early fall sweaters), you won’t have to deal with unanticipated delays because the gauge or texture isn’t right.
Functionality that fits the end products:
- Lounge wear：like robes and pajama sets needs to be comfortable and able to handle being washed many times. Our microfibre Yarn’s microfibre structure stays soft even after 20 washes (proven in our own labs).
- Sweaters need to keep heat in without becoming too heavy. Our yarn does this well, keeping wearers warm without restricting their movement.
Microfiber Yarn: Specifications, Uses, and Tips for Making It
One of the most common complaints we get from knitwear makers is that they have a hard time matching yarn characteristics to different types of products. If you use the wrong yarn for heavyweight robes, you won’t be able to use it for lightweight thermal base layers. This loses time and materials. Our 3.8NM-13NM range is meant to meet all of your large-scale production needs and give you clear instructions on how to do your work:
Yarn Spec (NM) | Material Composition | Ideal Large-Scale Products | Key Advantages for Manufacturer |
3.8NM/1 | 100% Polyester (P) | Heavyweight loungewear robes, thermal sweater cuffs/hem | Ultra-plush texture; high heat retention; minimal stretching |
4.5NM/1 | 100% Polyester (P) | Mid-weight thermal sweaters, loungewear pants | Balances softness/structure; even dye absorption |
5.3NM/1 | 100% Polyester (P) | Lightweight thermal sweaters, loungewear tops | Layering-friendly; maintains shape post-wash |
7NM/1 | 100% Polyester (P) | Lightweight thermal sweaters, loungewear tops | Gentle on sensitive skin; high tear resistance |
9NM/1 | 100% Polyester (P) | Luxury lightweight loungewear, thin thermal bases | Silky texture; excellent drape |
12.5NM/1 | Polyester/Nylon (P/N) | High-end loungewear tops, thermal undershirts | Adds elasticity (improves fit); anti-pilling |
13NM/1 | Polyester/Nylon (P/N) | Ultra-light thermal bases, loungewear sleep shirts | Lightweight yet warm; quick-drying |

How Douyou's Microfiber Yarn Fixes Problems with Mass Production
There is no space for mistakes in large-scale manufacturing, whether it’s inconsistent yarn damaging batches or orders that are late and miss deadlines. Our Microfiber Yarn is designed to solve the three biggest problems we hear from industrial partners, and Douyou stands behind its reliability:
1. Bad Gauge equals Wasted Resources
Problem: The thickness of the yarn changes, which makes you drop stitches and have to throw away dozens of sweaters at a time.
Solution: Douyou tests every batch of Microfiber Yarn with automated tension meters that can measure tension within a range of +/- 0.1NM. This means that more than 100 cones will work the same way on your machines.
2. Problems with dyeing lead to late orders
Problem: Different colors in different batches cause retailers to return items and hurt relationships.
Our Microfiber Yarn is made to absorb dye evenly. 100% polyester specifications accept dye rapidly, while P/N blends keep color without fading.We can dye things to order: Send a code for Pantone.
3. Sustainability Compliance = Headaches
Problem: Retailers want GRS-certified items, but it takes a long time to find them.
Answer: All Douyou Microfiber Yarn is GRS-certified and is created from recycled polyester and nylon.This helps you easily pitch your products as “sustainable,” which will attract buyers who care about the environment.We don’t simply offer yarn at Douyou; we help you with every step of the production process. No matter if you’re a tiny manufacturer or a multinational clothing brand, our services are meant to make large-scale manufacturing easier.

Douyou Yarn Helps US Brand Scale Up Production of sweaters in the Real World
A mid-sized US knitwear company that makes sweaters for outdoor workers, like construction workers and hikers, has two big problems:
- Their old yarn was extremely thick, which made sweaters difficult to wear under jackets.
- Pilling caused 30% of customers to return items, which cost them thousands of dollars in lost sales.
They asked Douyou for help, and we told them to use our 5.3NM/1 100% Polyester Microfiber Yarn. This is what happened:
- Comfort boost: The 5.3NM spec is light enough to layer but warm, and customer comfort scores went from 3.2/5 to 4.7/5.
- Anti-pilling design cut returns to 5%, which is a victory for durability.
- Efficiency gain: The yarn worked with their current 8G machines, so they didn’t need to buy any new ones. Without adding extra shifts, manufacturing went from 5,000 to 8,000 sweaters a month.
