30s Polyester Quick-Dry Yarn (DRYQCK) for Socks and Lightweight Knitwear

30s Polyester Quick-Dry Yarn for Socks and Lightweight Knitwear

VI-TEX supplies DRYQCK as a 30s polyester quick-dry yarn for socks, lightweight summer knitwear and selected sports-knit fabrics. The yarn uses 100% polyester and comes in a 1-ply cone format.

The specification lists 18G as a gauge reference, twist 780 and a linear density range of 11–20 tex. Before ordering, ask for the latest technical data sheet and confirm the yarn construction, twist unit and S/Z direction.

Fabric structure affects moisture movement, drying time and surface wear. Therefore, buyers should test the finished sock or fabric instead of judging performance from the yarn cone alone.

Where This Yarn Fits

This yarn suits lightweight products that need a polyester base for quick-dry fabric development. The 30s count works as a starting point for lighter sock and knitwear structures. In addition, the 1-ply cone format gives knitting teams a practical sample route.

• Lightweight socks
• Spring and summer sock programs
• Lightweight knitted tops
• Summer knitwear
• Selected sports-knit fabrics
• Lightweight fabrics developed for quicker drying

Although the specification lists 18G, each machine still needs its own tension, stitch length and stitch-structure settings. Start with a short trial before moving to bulk production.

What to Confirm Before Sampling

First, confirm whether the article uses spun or filament construction. VI-TEX identifies the product as functional polyester knitting yarn, while the technical data sheet should provide the exact construction.

Next, confirm the meaning of twist 780. Record the unit and S/Z direction so the knitting team can compare the yarn with other specifications correctly.

Color approval also matters. Send the target shade or color code before production, then keep the accepted shade standard with the order documents for future repeat orders.

Comparison with Other Yarn Options

Regular polyester, cotton-rich yarn and nylon blends serve different product requirements. For example, cotton-rich yarn may give a familiar natural hand, while nylon blends may support selected high-wear areas. Compare the finished fabric instead of relying on the fiber name alone.

Yarn Option	Potential Advantages	Points to Verify	Typical Application
DRYQCK 30s polyester quick-dry yarn	Quick-dry fabric development target, soft handfeel and an anti-pilling development target	Finished drying rate, pilling grade, machine settings and finishing process	Socks, lightweight summer knitwear and sports-knit fabrics
Regular polyester yarn	Wide availability, durability and generally cost-effective sourcing	Surface fuzz, moisture-management treatment and finished handfeel	Basic knitted or woven products
Cotton-rich yarn	Natural-fiber hand and good moisture absorption	Drying time, dimensional change and moisture retention after wear	Casual socks and non-performance knitwear
Nylon blend	Additional abrasion support in selected high-wear structures	Blend ratio, cost, dyeing behavior and finished handfeel	Reinforced socks and other high-wear areas

How to Check Drying and Pilling Performance

Quick-dry performance describes how the finished fabric releases moisture during drying. An open knitted structure may dry differently from a dense structure made with the same yarn. Dyeing, washing and finishing can change the result too.

Likewise, twist can improve yarn cohesion, but twist alone cannot establish a finished-fabric pilling grade. Stitch length, abrasion, fiber movement and finishing all influence the final surface.

If the project needs a numerical drying rate or pilling grade, define the test method, sample condition and pass level before production. Otherwise, treat quick-dry and anti-pilling as development targets rather than automatic guarantees.

Sample Approval Process

A cone sample cannot show every property of the finished fabric. Use the following checks before approving the bulk order:

1. First, check the article: Confirm the product reference, composition, yarn count, ply, cone format and intended use.
2. Next, review the data sheet: Confirm the spun or filament construction, twist unit, twist direction, tex range and cone weight.
3. Then, run a trial knit: Use the intended machine, gauge, tension and stitch structure.
4. After knitting, inspect the sample: Review appearance, handfeel, drying behavior and pilling after the planned dyeing or finishing process.
5. Finally, keep the approval record: Save the shade standard, test conditions, packing requirement and accepted sample reference with the order.

Approve the knitted sample instead of judging the yarn from cone appearance alone. Use the accepted sample when inspecting later lots.

Recommended Applications

• Lightweight socks
• Spring and summer sock programs
• Lightweight knitted tops
• Summer knitwear
• Selected sports-knit fabrics
• Lightweight fabrics developed for quicker drying

In particular, the 30s count can suit lighter constructions where fabric weight and surface appearance matter. The 18G figure provides a starting reference, but each machine still needs its own tension, stitch length and finishing adjustments.

For that reason, run a short trial before bulk production, especially when the buyer has a specific handfeel, drying target or pilling requirement.

Wholesale Terms and Reference Price

Color, order quantity, packaging and delivery destination affect the final quotation. The figures below provide a commercial guide for initial discussions.

Commercial Item	Policy or Reference
Minimum Order Quantity	5,000 kg or above
Reference Price	CNY 28.90 per kg at 5,000 kg or above; confirm the final price by color, quantity and destination
Stock Reference	Up to 10,000 kg; confirm the available quantity before payment
Lead Time Reference	Up to 30 days; confirm the production schedule before ordering
Sampling	Available; confirm the sample type, quantity and courier method
Payment Terms	Confirm in the proforma invoice or sales contract

However, stock and production schedules can change between inquiry and payment. Before payment, make sure the quotation states the article, shade, quantity, packing method, destination and quotation validity.

Packaging and Logistics

• Standard Packing: Cone yarn with an inner poly bag and export carton
• Optional Packing: VI-TEX can arrange palletizing, custom carton marks and custom labels before production
• Shipping: Freight depends on the destination and agreed Incoterms
• Documents: Commercial invoice and packing list; confirm any additional documents for the destination

If the warehouse needs a specific carton mark, label format or pallet configuration, send the template before packing begins. Also provide the delivery port or full address for a more accurate freight quotation.

Information Required for a Quotation

Send the intended application, target gauge, required shade, order quantity and destination. Also include any drying target, pilling requirement, test method, packing instruction or delivery deadline that affects the order.

FAQ About 30s Polyester Quick-Dry Yarn

Where can I source 30s polyester quick-dry yarn?

VI-TEX supplies DRYQCK as a 30s, 100% polyester cone yarn for socks and lightweight knitwear. The MOQ starts at 5,000 kg, and the reference lead time is up to 30 days. Before ordering, request the latest technical data sheet, trial sample and written quotation.

What does quick-dry mean for this polyester yarn?

Quick-dry describes how the finished fabric releases moisture during drying. Knit construction, dyeing and finishing all affect the result, so test the finished sock or fabric under the intended production conditions.

Can this yarn run on an 18G machine?

The specification lists 18G as a gauge reference. Machine compatibility also depends on tension, stitch length, fabric construction and the exact yarn article. Start with a short trial before bulk production.

Does twist 780 guarantee anti-pilling performance?

No. Twist can improve yarn cohesion, but it cannot guarantee a finished-fabric pilling grade. Test the finished product after knitting, dyeing, washing and finishing under the agreed method.

What do buyers check during incoming inspection?

First, check cone condition, net weight, labels and batch identification. Next, compare the yarn with the approved specification and shade standard. Then run a short trial knit before opening the full lot.

Can VI-TEX supply a specific color or shade?

Yes. Confirm the required shade or color code, approval method and acceptable shade tolerance before production. Keep the accepted shade standard with the order for repeat production.
