As you can see throughout these pictures, unlike ordinary fibers, these fibers, called microfibers, are indeed micro small. They have to be looked under the microscope to see it at the size of an ordinary strand of fiber.

When  actually measure them, the strands make less than a diameter of the size of  an ordinary line of silk (1/5 the diameter of a human hair).

Normally, either polymer chains also called Polyesters or the macro molecules called Polyamides create these small waves of fiber.   

 

With these micro fibers, they are used to form items such as mats, knits, cloths, cleaning products, etc.

The way they shape and combine the synthetic fibers results in different characteristics starting from softness and absorption to water repellent and filtration.
