AirySoft™
AirySoft Yarn
Made from eco-friendly polyester, this air-lofted yarn breaks away from the plastic-like hand feel typical of conventional synthetic fibers. It delivers a cotton-soft touch with an inherently lofty, breathable structure — eliminating the need for additional brushing or finishing processes.
3D ATY Yarn Structure
Engineered with a unique spherical bulking structure, AirySoft yarn delivers superior loft and a softer hand feel compared to conventional ATY yarns.
At the same fabric weight, AirySoft achieves greater bulk and thickness — creating a lightweight yet full-bodied touch.
Loft Increase
+35%
Fiber Shedding
-96%
Wicking
Exceptional moisture management through capillary action inherent in the yarn's micro-pockets.
UV Protection
Engineered density provides a natural barrier against harmful ultraviolet radiation without chemical additives.
Cottonly
Delivers a natural cotton-like hand feel while maintaining the technical durability of performance polyester.
Yarn Properties
AirySoft yarn offers a natural cotton-like hand feel, eliminating the need for post-treatment brushing to enhance softness — thereby preventing microplastic emissions during processing. Its unique structure expands when exposed to heat, boosting loft by 35% and producing a fabric that is noticeably lighter than others of comparable thickness.

Sustainability Value
Conventional brushing processes, while effective in creating a soft hand feel, often compromise fabric integrity and lead to significant microfiber shedding during washing — a major source of long-term environmental pollution. Even natural cotton can release over 25,000 fibers in a single wash cycle. AirySoft takes a different approach: by engineering the yarn itself, it delivers a cloud-soft hand feel while dramatically reducing fiber shedding — cutting wash-cycle release by up to 96%.
Impact of Finishing Processes on Microfiber Shedding
According to data from The Microfibre Consortium (TMC), mechanical finishing processes — such as brushing and tumbling — significantly increase microfiber release.
Recommended Applications
Ideal for next-to-skin comfort layers, mid-layers, and everyday wear — including loungewear, casual tops, soft-touch activewear, and all-day comfort apparel. AirySoft delivers a naturally soft hand feel with an airy lightness, offering effortless comfort throughout the day.
