Premium Polyester Sliver Tops
for Worsted Spinning
Engineered combed sliver for high-quality wool blends and worsted yarns.
Consistent quality, export-grade specs, global supply.
What are Polyester Sliver Tops?
Polyester sliver tops are continuous strands of polyester fibers that have been carded and combed to align the fibers parallel to each other. They are the semi-finished raw material specifically designed for worsted and semi-worsted spinning. Unlike loose staple fiber, combed sliver is ready for drawing and blending, ensuring superior yarn uniformity and mimicking the texture of wool for high-quality blended fabrics.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between polyester sliver and loose fiber?
Loose staple fiber is unorganized and randomly oriented. Sliver tops have been processed through carding and combing machines to align the fibers parallel to each other and remove shorter fibers. Tops are a "semi-finished" product ready for the drawing/gilling stage of worsted spinning.
Where do you ship?
We engage in global trade, shipping from major Chinese ports (Shanghai/Ningbo) to spinning mills worldwide, including destinations in Southeast Asia, Europe, and South America.
What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?
Our typical MOQ is one container load (approx 10-20 tons depending on packing), but we can discuss smaller trial orders or LCL shipments for specific high-value specs.
Do you provide samples?
Yes, we provide quality samples for your spinning tests. Please contact our sales team with your required spec (cut length, denier, luster) to arrange delivery.
