20S 30S Ring Spun Polyester Yarn Socks Gloves

Product Overview

Our 20S 30S Ring Spun Polyester Yarn offers unparalleled versatility and value for manufacturers of socks and gloves, catering to diverse market needs with two carefully calibrated thicknesses. Available in 20s (coarse) and 30s (fine) counts, this yarn addresses varied fabric requirements—from heavy-duty workwear that demands rugged durability to lightweight fashion accessories that prioritize softness and breathability. The ring-spun process ensures uniform thickness and low lint formation, making it compatible with high-speed knitting machines and reducing production disruptions.

Product Specifications

Material: 100% virgin polyester (high-quality polymer with consistent molecular structure for reliability)

Yarn Counts: 20s (coarse, 25–30 tex) and 30s (fine, 15–20 tex) to suit different fabric weights

Twist Level: 100–150 TPM (higher twist for 20s to enhance durability; lower twist for 30s to boost softness)

Color Options: 50+ stock colors (including pastels, neutrals, and bold hues) with Pantone matching available for custom orders

Pilling Resistance: Level 3–4 (ASTM D3512), with 20s offering slightly higher resistance due to its tighter twist

Certifications: OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 (Class II) and FDA-compliant for direct skin contact

Product Features

Dual-Thickness Solution: 20s is engineered for durable work gloves and heavy-duty socks, with enhanced abrasion resistance; 30s excels in lightweight, breathable socks and fashion gloves, offering a softer hand feel.

Cost-Effective Performance: Competitive pricing without compromising on key metrics—20s reduces replacement costs for workwear, while 30s minimizes material usage for lightweight designs.

Easy Processing: Low hairiness (<5 mg/m) reduces machine downtime from lint buildup, improving stitch quality and increasing production efficiency by up to 15%.

UV Resistance: Both counts feature inherent UV stability, with colorfastness up to 500+ hours of sunlight exposure—critical for outdoor applications.

Applications

Workwear: 20s is ideal for heavy-duty gloves used in construction, gardening, and industrial settings, where puncture and tear resistance are essential.

Fashion Knits: 30s shines in trendy gloves, mittens, and socks for seasonal collections, supporting intricate patterns and vibrant colors with its smooth texture.

Medical Accessories: Used in compression gloves for arthritis patients and orthopedic socks, where consistent stretch and non-irritating properties are vital.
