Fabric Knowledge: Classification And Characteristics Of Cotton Cloth

　　 cotton , is the general name of all kinds of cotton textiles. Our common cotton cloth:

① Pure cotton: as the name implies, it is all woven from cotton, with the characteristics of warmth retention, moisture absorption, heat resistance, alkali resistance, hygiene, etc. It is mostly used to make fashion, casual wear, underwear and shirts. Its advantages are easy to keep warm, soft and close to the body, good moisture absorption and permeability. Its disadvantage is that it is easy to shrink, wrinkle, pilling, not very neat and beautiful in appearance, and must be ironed frequently when wearing.

② Fine sparse cotton: the correct term is "fine shuttle cotton". In short, it is well woven, well treated, and pure cotton. This kind of cloth can prevent pilling to the maximum extent

③ Polyester cotton is a blended fabric. Compared with pure cotton, polyester cotton is a blended fabric, which is easier to pilling than "fine shuttle cotton". But because of the polyester component, the fabric is softer than pure cotton, which is not easy to wrinkle, but its moisture absorption is poorer than pure cotton.

④ Washable cotton: Washable cotton is made from cotton cloth. After special treatment, the surface tone and luster of the fabric will be softer, and the hand feel will be softer, and it will show a sense of old material in a slight wrinkle. The clothes have the advantages of not being easy to deform, not fading, and not ironing. There is also a layer of uniform plush on the surface of better washed cotton cloth, which has a unique style.

⑤ Ice cotton: Ice cotton is thin, breathable and cool against summer. To put it more generally, it is to add another coating The color is dominated by single tone, including white, military green, light pink, light brown, etc. The ice cotton is breathable and cool, smooth and soft to the touch, cool to the touch, natural folds on the surface, and thin and impervious to wear. It is suitable for women to make dresses, capris, shirts, etc. It has a unique style and is a superior fabric for making summer clothes. Pure ice cotton will not shrink!

⑥ Lycra cotton: Lycra cotton is added to cotton cloth. LYCRA is a kind of artificial elastic fiber, which can be lengthened 4 to 7 times freely, and quickly return to the original length after the release of external force. It can not be used alone, but can be interwoven with any other man-made or natural fibers. It does not change the appearance of the fabric. It is an invisible fiber, which can greatly improve the performance of the fabric. Its extraordinary stretch and recovery properties greatly enhance all fabrics. The clothes containing Lycra are not only comfortable and fit, but also can move freely, and have super pleated resilience, which makes the clothes durable and not deformed.

⑦ Mesh cotton: Mesh cotton is also pure cotton, but its weaving method is different from that of general cotton, and it is more sweat absorbent and not easy to deform

⑧ Mercerized cotton The cotton raw materials used for mercerized cotton are relatively high-grade, and through a series of strict processing procedures, its products can be called the best of cotton varieties, which not only retain the natural advantages of pure cotton, such as softness, comfort, moisture absorption and breathability, but also have many unique advantages: 1. The yarn strength is increased, and it is not easy to break; 2. The glossiness increases, and the filament is generally bright; 3、 dyeing Improved performance, bright color, not easy to fade; 4. The yarn breaking depth decreases with the increase of tension, that is, it is not easy to stretch and deform.
