Cotton & Cotton Blends
The most widely-used natural fiber, highly-versatile cotton is known for its strength and comfort and is used in an amazingly wide variety of textile materials. Cotton makes a soft, breathable textile and has become the most widely used natural-fiber cloth in clothing.
Wool Blends
Wool is a durable, natural fiber that it is comfortable, retains it's shape, resists dirt and static electricty, repels water, and is fire resistant. Wool garments draw moisture away from the body, absorb odors, and allow your skin to breathe while providing excellent thermal properties.
Bamboo
Bamboo fiber resembles cotton in its unspun form, a puffball of light, airy fibers. To make bamboo fiber, bamboo is heavily pulped until it separates into thin component threads of fiber, which can be spun and dyed for weaving into cloth. Bamboo fiber is more sustainable than most textile fibers. Bamboo fabric is light and strong, has excellent wicking properties, and is to some extent antibacterial.
Soybean
Soybean garments have a luxurious appearance with the feel of cashmere. With the luster of silk, soybean garments have elegant draping abilities, resist wrinkling, and provide better ventilation than cotton. Soybean fibers have higher breaking strength than wool, cotton or silk, a moisture absorption equal to cotton, and a warmth retention like wool. Soybean also has little shrinkage, antibacterial qualities, have good color-fast and dyeing properties. Soybean is sunlight resistant, has perspiration fastness, dries quickly and easily and is very lightweight.
Polyester & Poly Blends
Polyester fabrics and fibers are extremely strong and durable - resistant to most chemicals, stretching and shrinking, and wrinkle resistant. Polyester is hydrophobic in nature and quick drying. It can be used for insulation by manufacturing hollow fibers. Polyester retains its shape and hence is good for making outdoor clothing for harsh climates. It is also easily washed and dried.
Hydrotec

Whats more, both the moisture management and antimicrobial properties are integrated into the fiber during the polymer stage and are permanent.
Give yourself a competitive advantage by incorporating HydroPur® into your products today.
TriFlon
TriFlon is a new low-friction, stain resistant yarn.
Coolmax
COOLMAX® fabric pulls moisture away from your skin, absorbs and spreads moisture out across fabric to enhance evaporative drying rate, and allows air moves in to keep your body cool and dry.
Breathability - The performance of COOLMAX® fabric is inherent in the structure itself. The specially engineered fibers allow fabric designers to create high-performance fabrics that are soft, breathable, and moisture wicking.
Easy care - Garments made with COOLMAX® fabric are machine washable and dryable. However, fabric softener and chlorine bleach should not be used. Some garments may require special care because of the style, not the fabric. It is best to read the care label inside the garment.
Energy saving - COOLMAX® fabric is so quick drying that you actually reduce dryer use! Just hang wet clothes and be amazed at how fast they dry. Great for traveling, too!
Year-round comfort - In cold weather, COOLMAX® fabric is a great first layer, especially during high aerobic activities. It keeps chill-inducing perspiration away from your skin and moves it to the outer layers for evaporation. You stay warm when your body is dry.
Eco-Spun
Eco-Spun is a high-quality polyester fiber made from 100% certified recycled plastic PET bottles. It can go into any textile product such as clothing, blankets, carpets, wall coverings, auto interiors, home furnishings, and craft felt. Eco-Spun can also be blended with other fibers, such as cotton or wool, for enhanced qualities.
Go Green with us - Eco-Spun fibers help reduce the amount of plastic bottles that end up in our communities' landfills.
With properties such as strength, softness, shrinkage-resistance, and colorfastness, market applications for Eco-Spun are expanding every day.
Polypropolene
Polypropelene products are able to give good bulk and cover, are abrasion resistant, colorfast, and quick drying. Polypropelen has low static, is resistant to deterioration from chemicals, mildew, perspiration, rot and weather, is stain and soil resistant, and sunlight resistant. Polypropolene garments wick body moisture from the skin, are very comfortable, and very lightweight.
Polypropolene is used in apparel (Activewear and sportswear; socks; thermal underwear; lining fabrics).
