Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

              Not applicable

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

              Item 4 is hereby amended by adding the following:

              This amendment to Schedule 13D is necessitated solely by the fact
              that on April 8, 1997, each of the persons identified in response
              to Item 2 of this Schedule 13D that owns shares of Dyersburg
              Common Stock directly (collectively the "Sellers") entered into a
              stock purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Polysindo
              Hong Kong Limited ("Polysindo") pursuant to which the Sellers have
              agreed to sell to Polysindo, and Polysindo has agreed to purchase,
              an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of the Common Stock of Dyersburg
              (the "Acquired Shares") at a per share price of $7.65, or an
              aggregate purchase price of $22,950,000. The closing of such
              purchase (the "Closing Date") shall take place within three
              business days after the fulfillment of all conditions to closing
              set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Such conditions include
              expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting period
              under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as
              amended, and other customary conditions. The persons filing this
              amendment to Schedule 13D are acting in concert with respect to
              the transactions described herein but do not otherwise share the
              power to vote or dispose of their securities with each other.
              Upon consummation of this transaction no group will exist with
              respect to these shares and no individual filing person will own
              5% or more of the shares of Dyersburg Common Stock. A copy of the
              Purchase Agreement is included herein as Exhibit A.

              Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, if Polysindo initiates a
              tender offer subject to the provisions of Section 14D and 14E of
              the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act")
              for more than 1,000,000 additional shares of Common Stock or
              merges with the Company on or before 12 months after the closing
              of the Purchase Agreement, and the per share purchase price in the
              tender offer or the merger consideration is greater than $7.65,
              Polysindo will pay to the Sellers the difference between (i) the
              tender offer price and (ii) $7.65 plus interest at an annual rate
              of 6.5% for the time between the Closing Date and the closing of
              the tender offer or the merger.

                         PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE SHARES

          2.1 Purchase and Sale of Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions
herein set forth, each such Selling Stockholder agrees to sell to the Purchaser,
and the Purchaser agrees that it will purchase from each such Selling
Stockholder, on the Closing Date, the number of shares of Common Stock indicated
by such Selling Stockholder's name on Annex A, for a price of $7.65 per Share.
The Purchase Price payable to each Selling Stockholder is listed on Annex A. In
the event the transaction closes after April 30, 1997, the price per share shall
be increased by an amount computed like interest, accruing from and after May 1,
1997 to the actual closing date and using the Adjustment Rate. For example, if
the closing occurs on May 30, 1997, the price per share will be $7.69, computed
by multiplying the price per share by the Adjustment Rate, multiplying that
product by a fraction with 30 as the numerator and 365 as the denominator, and
adding the original price per share to the result of the previous computation.

          2.2 Closing. The purchase and sale of the Shares (the "Closing") shall
take place at the offices of Alston & Bird, Atlanta, Georgia, at 10 a.m., local
time, within three (3) business days after the fulfillment of all conditions of
closing, but no later than June 1, 1997, or at such other place, time and date
as each such Selling Stockholder and the Purchaser may agree in writing (the
"Closing Date"). On the Closing Date, each such Selling Stockholder shall
deliver to the Purchaser stock certificates, duly endorsed for transfer and
accompanied by all requisite transfer taxes, if any, representing the Shares
being purchased by the Purchaser from such Selling Stockholder, against delivery
of the Purchase Price for such Shares by wire transfer of immediately available
funds representing payment in full by the Purchaser for the Shares. Each such
Selling Stockholder shall give instructions for the wire transfer.

          2.3 Additional Purchase Price. Purchaser shall promptly pay to each
Selling Shareholder an additional purchase price under the following facts and
conditions:

         (a) Purchaser or an affiliate thereof (i) initiates a public tender
         offer subject to the provisions of Sections 14D and 14E of the
         Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the rules and
         regulations promulgated thereunder ("Tender Offer") for more than
         1,000,000 additional shares of Common Stock or (ii) acquires the
         Company in a merger or comparable transaction, in either instance prior
         to the anniversary date one year from the closing date of this
         Agreement, and, with respect to the Tender Offer, pays to the
         stockholders of Company for the shares of Common Stock acquired in the
         Tender Offer a purchase price per share in excess of the adjusted price
         per share of Common Stock paid hereunder or, with respect to such
         acquisition, distributes consideration with respect to each share of
         Common Stock that is in excess of the adjusted price per share of
         Common Stock paid hereunder.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>


         (b) In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased
         or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or
         kind of shares or other securities of the Company by reason of
         recapitalization, reclassification, stock split up, combination of
         shares, stock dividend or transaction having similar effect, (i) the
         total number of shares of Common Stock referred to in paragraph (a),
         (ii) the price per share of Common Stock paid hereunder and (iii) the
         number of shares of Common Stock purchased hereunder shall be
         proportionately, reasonably and appropriately adjusted by the Purchaser
         for the purpose of this Section 2.3. As a result of the adjustments,
         the adjusted number of shares times the adjusted price per share must
         equal the actual aggregate purchase price paid hereunder for the Shares
         of the Common Stock.

         (c) In the event the Company is engaged in any merger, sale of stock,
         consolidation, or liquidation with a Person other than Purchaser,
         whereby its Common Stock is after any such event no longer publicly
         traded, this Section 2.3 shall lapse and be of no further force and
         effect.

         (d) The additional purchase price per share of Common Stock will be
         equal to (i) the Tender Offer purchase price per share or the
         acquisition consideration per share, as the case may be, less (ii) the
         sum of the (A) price per share of Common Stock paid hereunder, as
         adjusted pursuant to paragraph (b), plus (B) interest thereon at the
         Adjustment Rate for the period between the closing of this Agreement
         and the closing of the Tender Offer. The additional purchase price for
         each Selling Stockholder shall be the additional purchase price per
         share times the adjusted number of shares of Common Stock sold by each
         such Selling Stockholder. The aggregate additional purchase price shall
         be the additional purchase price per share times the adjusted number of
         shares of Common Stock of all Selling Stockholders and such aggregate
         additional purchase price shall be allocated among the Selling
         Stockholders as provided above.

         (e) Such additional purchase price for each Selling Stockholder will be
         paid to each Selling Stockholder as promptly as possible after the
         closing of the tender offer and will bear interest from the closing of
         the tender offer until paid at the Adjustment Rate.
