What is spun polyester used for? (Detailed explanation of its uses)

Spun polyester is widely used and permeates every aspect of our lives because it combines the strength and durability of polyester with a comfortable feel similar to cotton.

Here are some common uses of this fabric:

⋙ Everyday Clothing and Apparel

Skin-friendly clothing: It's a popular material for making T-shirts, shirts, and skirts. Compared to ordinary synthetic fiber clothing, spun polyester doesn't have that cold, shiny, plastic feel; instead, it feels very much like pure cotton, breathable and soft.
Sports and outdoor wear: Many warm sports shirts or lightweight jackets also use this material. It helps wick away sweat during exercise and dries very quickly after washing, making it particularly suitable for sportswear that needs frequent washing.
Warm accessories: For example, scarves, gloves, and hats worn in winter are made from this material, which is lightweight and windproof, and unlike pure wool, it doesn't shrink or feel itchy.

⋙ Home and Household Items

Bedding: Many modern bed sheets, duvet covers, and pillowcases use this fabric. It not only feels warm and comfortable to the touch but is also very durable and doesn't wrinkle easily, always looking neat and tidy on the bed.
Curtains and decorative fabrics: It's very suitable for making curtains because it's sun-resistant and doesn't fade easily when hung by the window.  It also has a moderate weight and good drape, adding a warm touch to the home.
Cleaning cloths: Many of the microfiber cleaning cloths we commonly use are also made of this material. It easily absorbs dust and can be used again quickly after washing.

⋙ Catering and Commercial Uses

High-end tablecloths and napkins: Many restaurants and hotels favor napkins made of spun polyester. These napkins look high-quality, like linen or cotton, but their advantage lies in their wrinkle resistance and ease of care. They are also easier to clean than cotton napkins when stained with oil.
Aprons and workwear: Aprons for chefs and baristas often use this material. It's more durable than pure cotton and can withstand frequent washing and heavy use every day.

⋙ Hand Sewing and Industry

All-purpose sewing thread: If you have a sewing kit at home, the thread inside is most likely made of spun polyester. This type of thread is extremely strong and durable, resulting in sturdy and long-lasting garments. It sews very smoothly, whether by hand or with a sewing machine, and is less likely to break.
