Microfiber: The advent of "Microfibers" is one of the most significant innovations in fabric technology in recent years.  Microfibers are a relatively new, rapidly growing category of fabrics.  The term "Microfiber" is short for "Microdenier" fiber, that is, ultrafine fibers that are less than 1 denier in size.  Most microfibers are finer than the most delicate traditional silk fibers.  In fact, microfibers are approximately 100 times finer than human hair!!!

Microfiber Fabrics can be made from polyester, nylon, rayon, acetate or a combination of those fibers.  They can be made to resemble many traditional fabrics including silks, suede, twill or duck (denim-like) and more.

Advantages of Kianco Microfiber:
Since they are very fine, microfibers can be tightly woven or knit into a very high quality fabric. The denseness of the fibers in the fabric leads to many desirable characteristics.

Kianco Microfibers are usually:
. Very Drape able yet not flimsy;
. Soft with a luxurious hand;
