What is microfiber?
Microfiber is a fiber with less than 1 denier per filament. The Denier is a measure of linear density and is often used to describe the size of a fiber or a filament (9000 meters of a one-denier fiber weighs only one gram). Fibers are combined to form yarns. Yarns are knitted or woven in a variety of constructions. While many microfibers are made of polyester, they can also be composed of polyamide (nylon) or other polymers. More details on microfiber here.
