100/36 Textured Yarn
100/36 Textured Yarn — Lightweight general apparel knits · linings · basic shirting · entry sportswear. More body, sheen and abrasion resistance; a crisp hand.
The coarsest construction at 100 denier: 36 filaments put roughly 2.78 denier on each. This yarn is not chosen for softness but for body and durability — high abrasion resistance, a clean surface and a firm hand. Tenacity of 3.8–4.5 cN/dtex with 16–22 elongation leaves a wide safety margin against breaks on the machine. It is used in lightweight general-apparel knits, linings, basic shirtings and entry-level sportswear. For a softer surface at the same denier move to 100/72; to approach the micro threshold, 100/96 is the next step.
