1/28 Nm Silk Cashmere Sock Yarn Supplier

1/28 Nm silk cashmere sock yarn for autumn and winter

VI-TEX supplies 1/28Nm cashmere-silk specialty yarn for autumn and winter socks. The yarn uses siro spinning and contains 5% cashmere, 5% silk, 20% viscose, 20% nylon and 50% polyester.

The product is supplied as a dyed blended sock yarn in single yarn form. The count can be customized. For development orders, the MOQ starts at 1 kg per color, so buyers can check shade and machine performance before planning a larger lot.

What the blend is intended to offer

Cashmere and silk give the yarn a softer touch. Nylon and polyester support wear resistance and shape retention, while the full blend keeps the material mix more practical than a high-cashmere construction. Final warmth and wear depend on the sock structure, machine settings and finishing process.

For repeat orders, buyers should keep the approved shade, reference cone and lot information. This makes it easier to compare later shipments with the approved sample.

How the siro-spun structure fits sock production

The 1/28 Nm siro-spun structure is intended to help control yarn unevenness during knitting. It can support a cleaner production flow, but it does not remove the need for a machine trial.

In practice, running stability depends on needle condition, yarn tension, machine settings and lubrication. Before bulk production, run a pilot on the target sock machine and check machine running, surface appearance and fabric hand.

Product comparison for sock programs

Yarn option	Suitable when	Point to check
Standard polyester or nylon sock yarn	The program focuses on basic lines and cost control	The hand feel may be less premium
High-cashmere blend yarn	The product needs a stronger luxury positioning	Material cost can fluctuate more and requires closer budget planning
1/28 Nm silk cashmere blend	The sock program needs a softer hand with a practical fiber mix	Shade control and lot consistency still matter for repeat orders

Applications and limits

This yarn fits autumn and winter socks and soft-touch knit items. It is not designed for flame-resistant or conductive protective use.

It works well when a buyer wants a softer hand from a blend that includes nylon and polyester. However, the final result depends on the fabric structure and finishing process.

Technical FAQ

Where can I buy 1/28Nm cashmere-silk specialty yarn?

VI-TEX supplies this product as a 1/28 Nm siro-spun dyed blended yarn for autumn and winter socks. The blend contains 5% cashmere, 5% silk, 20% viscose, 20% nylon and 50% polyester. The MOQ starts at 1 kg per color. Request the current technical data sheet and confirm the commercial terms before ordering.

How does this blend affect winter sock performance?

Cashmere and silk improve the hand feel, while nylon and polyester support wear resistance and shape retention. As a result, the yarn can suit winter socks that need a softer touch and practical durability. Final warmth still depends on the sock structure and finishing process.

Is 1/28 Nm siro-spun yarn suitable for high speed sock knitting?

It can be evaluated on mainstream sock machines. However, needle condition, tension, machine settings and lubrication affect running stability. Run a pilot on the target equipment before confirming a bulk order.

Which tests should buyers request first?

Start with colorfastness, pilling and dimensional stability. Next, add destination-market requirements and any tests required by your compliance or brand standards.

Can the composition and yarn count be customized?

Yes, within technical and sourcing limits. Changes to the blend ratio or yarn count may change the MOQ, lead time and quotation. Confirm the final specification before sampling.

What does MOQ from 1 kg per color mean?

It supports development work and shade validation with a smaller initial quantity. For mass production, larger planned lots usually make shade continuity and scheduling easier.

How should we plan lead time in peak season?

Book early. Stock orders usually take 1 to 2 days after confirmation, while custom orders usually take 3 to 15 days. Peak production periods can extend the production queue.

How do you control consistency between repeat orders?

Use lot records, shade checks and retained reference samples. Buyers should lock the approved standard and reference cone before releasing a repeat order.

Which compliance files can be provided before PO approval?

VI-TEX can discuss ISO 9001, OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 and GRS or GRS TC documents for eligible orders. Technical files and test reports depend on the product, order and buyer test protocol.

How can buyers reduce claim risk after delivery?

Set acceptance criteria before shipment and keep the lot IDs on the delivery records. When a claim occurs, the retained sample and lot record help both sides review the result against the agreed standard.
