100/72 Textured Yarn
100/72 Textured Yarn — Soft general apparel knits (jersey, interlock, single jersey) · T-shirts · light base layers. A balanced, fine-but-stable hand; versatile.
The most versatile yarn in the catalogue: 100 denier across 72 filaments, roughly 1.39 denier per filament. That fine-but-stable balance lets a single yarn cover jersey, interlock and single-plate constructions — which is why it is the default for basic t-shirt and light base-layer programmes. It is not a microfilament; unless you are chasing the softest class, that is predictability rather than a shortfall. It shares the 100-denier band: 3.8–4.5 cN/dtex tenacity, 3.5–5.5 boiling-water shrinkage, 18–28 crimp contraction. For a softer touch at the same denier there is 100/96, and for genuine micro, 100/144.
