Microfiber fabrics are an innovative and ultra-comfortable textile material that is gaining popularity in the sewing field. Thanks to their structure of very fine and dense fibers, they stand out for an incredibly soft touch, a high absorption capacity, and hypoallergenic properties. Whether for clothing such as sweatshirts, hygiene accessories, or even household linen, microfiber is a solution that is both aesthetic, practical, and easy to maintain.
What are microfiber fabrics?
Microfiber fabrics are made from very fine synthetic fibers, usually a blend of polyester and polyamide. Each thread is up to 100 times finer than a human hair, giving it great softness, an astonishing lightness, and unmatched durability.
