Cooling Antibacterial Sock Yarn | 32s Silk-Linen Blend for Summer Socks

Cooling antibacterial sock yarn supports buyers who need stable summer performance and repeat bulk supply. In other words, this page is about one buying task: sourcing a 32s silk-linen antibacterial yarn in dyed functional sock yarn format for summer sock mills.

In practice, a summer sock program asks for three things at once: a cooler hand feel, cleaner odor-control performance, and cones that keep running repeatable in bulk. For that reason, we spin this 32s silk-linen blend with cotton and viscose, lock the blend ratio by approved bulk sample, and keep lot-linked QC records on every order. However, the yarn is only one part of the result, so the comparison below shows where this route sits against typical market options.

How This Yarn Compares with Common Sock-Yarn Options

Attribute	This 32s Silk-Linen Blend	Synthetic Cooling Option	Bamboo-Based Option
Function direction	Cooling + antibacterial in one yarn route	Single-function cooling is common; antibacterial support usually needs a second yarn	Antibacterial positioning varies by lot and usually needs test confirmation
Blend route	Silk-linen base with cotton and viscose; ratio locked by approved bulk sample	Mostly polyester or viscose/polyester blends. As a synthetic alternative, we also list a 32S/1 viscose-polyester cooling antibacterial yarn	Usually bamboo-cotton blends, such as our 32s bamboo cotton cone yarn. The hand is soft, but cool-touch still depends on construction
Process data	32s, 11-20 tex, twist 780, 24/inch knitting reference	Key indicators are often not disclosed	Often quoted by feel instead of published numbers
Color route	Custom color by lab approval, then bulk color lock. Meanwhile, we keep a related listing for buyers who already run a fixed shade program: the silk linen blend dyed yarn 32S/1	Limited stock shades	Stock and custom shades, but repeat color still needs lab confirmation
Bulk baseline	MOQ 5,000 kg for this listing	Rules vary by supplier	MOQ varies; repeat consistency matters most

Why Sock Mills Source This Blend

VI-TEX has focused on functional yarn since 2003, across two production and R&D bases in China and subsidiaries in Japan and Vietnam. As a result, we supply buyers in 10+ countries and regions. For this listing, that experience shows up in three practical places: the published process data, the lab-approved color route, and lot-linked technical files for audit and customer approval. In short, this page is written for procurement teams that need to compare and decide quickly.

Wholesale Terms, Color Route, and Lead Times

Quotes follow the confirmed specification and order structure, which prevents sample-to-bulk mismatch. In addition, the main cost drivers are blend route, color complexity, volume, delivery window, and compliance scope, so pricing is calculated per order instead of a fixed list. After that, the sample route runs spec lock → lab approval → sample dispatch → bulk lock, and bulk color is fixed against the approved sample.

For lead times, stock shades usually ship in 1-2 days when available, while custom shades take 3-15 days after lab approval. As a result, buyers who lock colors early protect their launch schedule. Meanwhile, the MOQ baseline stays at 5,000 kg for this listing, which keeps factory planning and capacity booking stable. Before you approve a bulk lot, however, it helps to run the checks in our sock yarn quality verification guide.

Packaging and Delivery Notes

• In most cases, packaging is 25 kg per carton or 25 kg per plastic bag, confirmed by final PO.
• Additionally, each shipment can include lot and quantity mapping for receiving checks.
• Meanwhile, we align delivery planning with your approved sample and production schedule.
• For that reason, carton marks and loading details can be matched with your warehouse standard.

Compliance, Certifications, and Documents

• Compliance references include ISO 9001 and OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100.
• GRS/GRS TC can be arranged for eligible orders and approved scope.
• Technical data sheet, test report, COA, and lot mapping are provided by order scope.
• For antibacterial claims specifically, our antibacterial yarn standards guide compares ISO 20743, AATCC 100, and GB/T 20944 so you can agree on the method before sampling.

Quality Control and Lot Traceability

1. First, verify incoming materials against the approved blend and spinning targets.
2. After that, run in-process checks for count, twist trend, and appearance consistency.
3. Then, check pre-shipment quality against the locked sample and packing standard.
4. Finally, if a claim happens, we run lot review, root-cause check, and corrective action with clear records.

Technical FAQ

How does cooling antibacterial sock yarn perform in finished socks?

In practice, the cool-touch feel comes from the blend design, while odor control follows the antibacterial route built into the yarn. That said, the final result also depends on sock structure, finishing, and wear conditions, so we recommend knitting a pilot lot on your production gauge before bulk. For antibacterial claims, see our ISO 20743 vs AATCC 100 testing guide first.

Is silk linen blended sock yarn suitable for high-speed sock knitting?

Yes, with machine settings matched to the yarn. First, confirm your gauge against the 24/inch knitting reference. After that, run a pilot lot before full production. In most cases, this catches tension or feed issues early and keeps bulk running time stable.

Can I order dyed functional sock yarn in custom colors for summer sock lines?

Yes. In short, the route is lab approval first, then bulk color lock. For that reason, we match your shade against a lab dip before production starts, and the approved sample becomes the production standard. Meanwhile, if you are still deciding between fiber and count, our custom sock yarn guide walks through matching fiber, count, and machine gauge.

What MOQ applies to this product?

The standard MOQ for this listing is 5,000 kg.

What lead time should I plan for repeat orders?

In most cases, stock shades ship in 1-2 days when available. Custom shades, however, usually need 3-15 days after lab approval. As a result, we recommend confirming your color program early in the season.
