Microfiber is a type of synthetic fabric made from ultra-fine fibers, typically polyester or nylon. These tiny fibers are spun into yarn that is finer than human hair and have unique properties such as high absorbency, softness, and the ability to hold color well. Microfiber fabrics are used in a variety of applications including clothing, upholstery, cleaning cloths, and more due to their durability, ease of care, and versatility.
