50/36 Textured Yarn
50/36 Textured Yarn — Fine jersey & tricot · lightweight linings · light apparel. Economical, fast to spin; body and light sheen.
The finest total denier in the catalogue, spun at a mid-range filament count: 50 denier divided across 36 filaments gives roughly 1.39 denier per filament. Against the 72-filament version at the same denier it reads distinctly crisper and drier in the hand — the loop stays defined and the fabric flows less. Tenacity sits at 3.6–4.2 cN/dtex, the lower end of the standard band; what separates this yarn is filament thickness, not strength. It suits fine jersey, tricot and lightweight linings, where you want low weight without the surface going soft. For micro-level softness, move to 50/72 at the same denier.
