Fiber, Wool & Cotton Processing
Our business began processing various textile fibers into nubs for use in nub & novelty yarns for the spinning industry in 1956.

Multi-Industry Processing
Pillow Fill
In terms of fills, to be considered a “microfiber,” the fiber must be less than one denier, which is extremely fine. This gives the filling its airy weight, downy feel, and soft, silky texture. In comparison, a human hair is 20 denier, whereas Standard Fiber’s microfibers are typically 0.9 denier or less.
Garment Nubs
Nubs give surface texture to an otherwise plain and simple yarn. Variations on this yarn spinning process can create different color nubs along the length of the yarn.
Bedding
Denier is a unit of measurement used to determine the fiber thickness of individual threads or filaments used in the creation of textiles and fabrics. Fabrics with a high denier count tend to be thick, sturdy, and durable. Fabrics with a low denier count tend to be sheer, soft, and silky.
