Soft Tam Yarn Supplier | 1/13Nm Acrylic Nylon Wool Blend

VI-TEX supplies Soft Tam Yarn (Dralon) for knitwear that needs loft, warmth, and a controlled surface. This 1/13 Nm compact-spun yarn combines 52% acrylic, 40% nylon, and 8% wool. Because acrylic adds volume, nylon supports strength and recovery, and wool adds natural warmth, the blend balances softness with practical knitting performance. As a result, buyers can use it for sweaters, scarves, hats, gloves, beanies, and other autumn/winter knitwear.

Buyers searching for a 1/13Nm wool-nylon specialty yarn should review the complete fiber blend. Acrylic forms the largest share of this yarn, while nylon and wool support its structure and handle. Therefore, we describe it accurately as an acrylic-nylon-wool blended fancy yarn.

How Soft Tam Yarn Compares with Standard Brushed Tam Yarn

Brushed yarn creates attractive volume, but its open surface can also release more loose fibers. Soft Tam Yarn uses compact spinning to improve fiber control while keeping a full hand. In addition, the nylon content supports cohesion and recovery during knitting.

Feature	Standard Brushed Tam Yarn	Soft Tam Yarn (Dralon)	What Buyers Should Verify
Surface control	Brushing can leave more loose fibers on the yarn surface.	Compact spinning helps control loose fibers and supports cleaner stitch definition.	Check fuzzing and pilling after knitting, finishing, and washing.
Knitting behavior	Some open structures may shed more or run less consistently.	The nylon-supported blend promotes cohesion and recovery.	Test the yarn on the target gauge, tension, and machine setup.
Loft and hand feel	Handle varies with fiber quality, brushing, and finishing.	The acrylic-nylon-wool blend targets a full, soft, and warm handle.	Approve a knitted swatch before confirming bulk production.
Color appearance	Multi-fiber blends can react differently during dyeing.	We develop each shade around the 52/40/8 fiber combination.	Approve the lab dip and define the shade standard for the order.

Performance note: This comparison explains the yarn’s design focus; it does not promise a fixed test grade. Actual pilling, stitch definition, dimensional stability, and hand feel change with gauge, tension, fabric structure, brushing, finishing, and wash conditions. Therefore, test a sample under your own production conditions before placing a bulk order.

Sampling and Order Planning

We support stock sampling, trial orders, and bulk production. First, choose an available stock shade when you need a quick handle or gauge review. Next, knit the sample on the intended machine and check the finished fabric. Finally, confirm the shade, quantity, packing, test requirements, and delivery plan with our team.

Order Type	Quantity	Typical Lead Time	Recommended Use
Stock sample	From 1 kg per stock shade	1–2 days	Handle review, gauge testing, and stock-color confirmation
Trial order	100–1,000 kg	3–7 days	Buyer testing before a larger seasonal program
Bulk production	1,000 kg or more	7–15 days	Confirmed programs; timing depends on shade, count, quantity, and production schedule

We usually prepare stock sample orders within 1–2 days. However, custom production normally takes 3–15 days after we confirm the specification and shade. In addition, our team can prepare custom-color lab dips in about 3–5 business days. We will confirm the applicable MOQ and final schedule before you place the order.

Packaging and Shipping Support

We place each cone in a protective plastic bag. Then, we pack the cones in export cartons to help protect the yarn during storage and transportation. A standard carton usually contains about 25 kg, although the final weight may change with the cone size and buyer requirements.

Inner packing: Protective plastic bag for each cone
Outer packing: Export carton
Typical carton weight: About 25 kg
Shipping coordination: We review carton marks and dispatch details before shipment

Compliance and Testing Options

Tell us about the garment, target market, and testing standard at the enquiry stage. Then, our team can review the product-specific documents and testing options for your program.

Quality and safety: Ask us to review OEKO-TEX-related requirements and the available product evidence.
Sustainability: For relevant programs, ask us whether a GRS- or OCS-related production line can meet the requested fiber and documentation requirements.
Application support: Share the gauge, fabric structure, target handle, and end use so our team can review the development direction.

Dralon specification note: Buyers may use “Dralon” to describe branded acrylic fiber or a broader type of soft thermal acrylic yarn. If your program requires genuine branded Dralon® fiber, state that requirement during the enquiry. Therefore, we can check the fiber source and supporting documents before sampling.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Soft Tam yarn different from standard brushed tam yarn?

Soft Tam Yarn combines a lofty brushed appearance with a compact-spun structure. Therefore, the yarn offers better surface control than a very open brushed construction while retaining a full handle. However, buyers should still test pilling and surface change on the intended fabric.

How does the 52% acrylic / 40% nylon / 8% wool blend perform in knitwear?

Acrylic adds loft and softness, while nylon supports strength and recovery. Wool also adds a natural warm touch. As a result, the blend suits winter knitwear that needs volume, comfort, and structural support.

What kinds of products is this yarn suitable for?

Buyers commonly use it for sweaters, scarves, hats, gloves, beanies, and other autumn/winter knitwear. In addition, our team can review other applications after you share the target gauge, fabric weight, and handle.

Is Soft Tam yarn suitable for next-to-skin knitwear?

The blend provides a soft and comfortable touch for many knitwear structures. However, gauge, brushing, finishing, and garment construction all affect the final skin feel. Therefore, approve a finished swatch before bulk production.

What gauge range is commonly used for this yarn?

Buyers often start with 7GG or 9GG for single-end use. In addition, we can review multi-end knitting after you share the machine setup and target fabric.

What MOQ and lead time should buyers expect?

Stock sampling starts from 1 kg for available shades, and stock service usually takes 1–2 days. Meanwhile, custom production commonly takes 3–15 days, depending on the shade, count, quantity, and schedule. We will reconfirm the custom MOQ and commercial terms before order placement.

Can you customize count, color, or blend for a new program?

Yes. Share the target count, shade, gauge, composition, and hand feel with our team. Then, we will review technical feasibility, sample terms, MOQ, and lead time before starting development.
