Small and large chemical fiber yarns: also known as polyester yarns, commonly used counts are 10, 21 and 32. The characteristics are good color, large batch number, strong and stable, few defects, and good spinnability. Small chemical fibers use recycled materials, with uneven prices and quality, feel refreshing, good elasticity, not easy to wrinkle, and abrasion resistance second only to the best nylon, but poor moisture absorption, feel stuffy when worn, and dry quickly.

Acrylic yarn: Commonly used counts are 20, 24 and 28. It is characterized by elasticity and fluffiness similar to natural wool, good warmth retention and breathability, poor moisture absorption and easy to stain.

Nylon yarn: It is characterized by strength and good wear resistance. It is the strongest among all fibers. Its wear resistance is 10 times that of cotton fiber. Its moisture absorption and elasticity are also very good.
