What is polyester microfibre and how does it feel in knitwear?

The Alteks Tricot team
The Knit Journal · 1 min read

Polyester microfibre is a very fine fibre, under about 1 denier per filament, giving a softer, denser fabric with a peach-skin or silky hand. It is light, strong and dries fast.

It is used for sportswear, technical articles and garments with a fine drape. Being synthetic, it absorbs little water, so it is not as comfortable as cotton in warm weather. The fine surface can highlight knitting flaws and may need careful finishing. Ask for a sample to judge the hand.
