1. Cotton
1 Pure cotton
All with Cotton is woven as raw material and is mostly used to make fashionable clothes, casual wear, underwear and shirts.
Advantages: easy to keep warm, soft and close-fitting, strong hygroscopicity, good breathability, heat and alkali resistance, clean and hygienic.
Disadvantages: Easy to shrink, wrinkle and pill, not very crisp and beautiful in appearance, must be ironed frequently when wearing.
2 Polyester-cotton
Compared with pure cotton, it is a blend, that is, a blend of polyester and pure cotton.
Advantages: Soft and not easy to wrinkle.
Disadvantages: The hygroscopicity is poorer, and compared with “fine shuttle cotton”, it is easier to pill.
3 Ice cotton
An excellent fabric to withstand summer. It just adds a coating to the cotton cloth. The color is mainly single tone, including white, military green, light pink, light brown, etc. It is suitable for women to make dresses, cropped pants, shirts, etc.
Advantages: It feels smooth and cool, the fabric is thin but not transparent, cool, comfortable, soft and breathable, will not shrink, has natural wrinkles on the surface, and has a unique style when worn.
Disadvantages: Ice cotton is as afraid of insects as pure cotton, and is prone to mildew in humid environments. These shortcomings will seriously affect the appearance of the fabric, so we must pay attention to ice cotton. Daily care and maintenance of cotton fabrics.
4 Combed cotton
Pure cotton products are better woven and processed better.
Advantages: Fabric-like fabric can prevent pilling to the greatest extent.
Disadvantages: Darker combed cotton may fade after washing. Another disadvantage is that its price is much higher than that of pure cotton.
5 Washed cotton
Used cotton as raw material, high-quality washed cotton has a uniform layer of plush on the surface, giving it a unique style .
Advantages: soft to the touch, soft gloss and color, no need for ironing, resistant to deformation and fading after washing, slight wrinkles adding a bit of old material feel.
Disadvantages: Products made of washed cotton tend to fall apart over time and are easily deformed.
6 Lycra cotton
It is cotton cloth with Lycra added. Lycra is an artificial elastic fiber exclusively invented and produced by DuPont. It can be stretched freely 4 to 7 times, and quickly returns to its original length after external force is released. It cannot be used alone and can be interwoven with any other man-made or natural fibers. Its extraordinary stretch and recovery properties enhance the color of any fabric.
Advantages: Comfortable and fit to wear, freedom of movement, unique ability to restore wrinkles, long-lasting clothing without deformation.
Disadvantages: It is harmful to the human body. Due to the addition of chemical fiber material, the breathability is average.
7 Mercerized cotton
Select high-grade cotton raw materials and adopt sophisticated technology, which is the best cotton species.
Advantages: soft and comfortable, moisture-absorbing and breathable, bright and shiny, good dyeability, and the fabric is not easy to break.
Disadvantages: often stretched and easily deformed.
8 mesh cotton
Pure cotton, special weave.
Advantages: absorbs sweat and is not easily deformed.
Disadvantages: accompanied by a certain degree of fluffing and pilling.
2. Hemp
The fabrics are made of linen, ramie, jute, sisal, abaca, etc. Made of various hemp plant fibers. It is generally used to make casual wear, work wear and women’s wear. Currently, it is also used to make ordinary summer wear.
Advantages: strong hygroscopicity, alkali and heat resistance, good breathability, not sticky after sweating, crisp and stylish to wear.
Disadvantages: poor wearing comfort and rough appearance.
Cotton and linen blends
Generally, 55% linen and 45% cotton or 50% linen and 50% cotton are used for blending.
Advantages: Rough and crisp appearance, tentacle cotton fabric is soft and not easy to fluff. Cotton and linen interwoven fabrics have a firm and smooth texture and are softer than pure linen; linen and cotton blended interwoven fabrics have a light and thin texture and are suitable for summer clothing.
Disadvantages: The luster is dull, the worsted type has a softer feel, and the woolen type has a loose feel. The elasticity and stiffness of this type of fabric are not as good as pure wool and wool-polyester, wool-polyester blended fabrics.
Three, Mao
1 Pure wool
(1) Pure wool worsted fabric
Advantages: Most of them are thin in texture, smooth in surface and clear in texture. The luster is natural, soft and beautiful. The body is straight, soft and elastic to the touch. If you hold the material tightly and then release it, there will be basically no wrinkles. Even if there are slight creases, they will disappear in a short time.
(2) Pure woolen woolen fabrics
Advantages: Most of them are thick in texture, plump in texture, soft in color and full of light. . Woolen and suede surfaces do not reveal the texture. The grain texture is clear and rich. It feels gentle, stiff and elastic.
2 Wool blends
(1), wool and polyester blends
Advantages: There are shiny spots on the surface under the sun, the fabric is crisp and elastic, and it is better than pure wool fabrics. When you hold the material tightly and release it, there are almost no creases.
<pFabric – Cotton gray fabric is brushed to form a layer of fluffy and fluffy fabric on the surface of the fabric. This kind of flannelette increases air and enhances warmth retention due to the presence of fluff. Therefore, flannel is often used as underwear or baby clothing, making people feel soft, thick and comfortable. Velvet cloth can be divided into single-sided velvet and double-sided velvet.
4 Knitted cotton fabric
The main difference between woven fabrics and knitted fabrics is: woven fabrics are made of warp, Two sets of weft yarns are interwoven vertically. Knitted fabric is a set of yarns that are formed into loops by knitting needles and other knitting machines and are strung together, similar to how we knit a sweater.
Performance characteristics
Soft feel
Greater extensibility and elasticity
Good breathability and wrinkle resistance
Easy to fall apart, curl, and snag, not as strong and durable as woven fabrics
Common varieties
o:p>
Plain weave: continuous unit coils are unidirectionally strung together. It has detachment and severe hemming, and is prone to weft skew.
Ribbing: It has greater elasticity and extensibility in the transverse direction. Not easy to fall apart, no curling, and good dimensional stability. French rib is a double-sided rib with small lateral elastic extensibility and poor dimensional stability.
Knitted jacquard: changing yarn thickness, quantity, color, etc. to form fabric pattern.
5 Chemical fiber fabrics
(1), Man-made fiber fabrics
Man-made fiber fabrics basically refer to viscose fiber filament and short fiber fabrics, which are commonly known as rayon, rayon fabrics and viscose fiber blended fabrics.
Advantages: The moisture absorption performance is the best among chemical fibers; it feels soft, has bright color, is breathable and comfortable; its wearing comfort and dyeability are better than synthetic fiber fabrics; it has good drape; it is durable Good acid-base and light resistance properties.
Disadvantages: However, the shrinkage rate is large; the stiffness, resilience and wrinkle resistance are poor, the shape retention of the clothing is poor, and wrinkles are prone to occur;
(2) Polyester fabric
Advantages: strong strength and elastic recovery; strong and durable, no ironing required, easy to wash and quick to dry. It has good acid, alkali and light resistance, and is not afraid of mold and insects.
Disadvantages of wearing: poor hygroscopicity, feeling stuffy, easy to generate static electricity and attract dust and stains.
(3) Acrylic fabric
Advantages: It is known as synthetic wool, and its elasticity and bulkiness can be compared with natural wool. , bright color. It is wrinkle-resistant and has good warmth retention, about 15% higher than similar wool fabrics. It has light resistance, heat resistance and light weight.
Disadvantages: Poor hygroscopicity, feeling stuffy when worn.
(4) Spandex elastic fabric
Advantages: Also known as elastic fiber, it has excellent elasticity and is suitable for tights. Generally, products do not use 100% polyurethane, and usually mix 5%–30% in the fabric. The appearance style, moisture absorption and air permeability are close to similar products of natural fibers such as cotton, wool, silk, hemp and so on.
Characteristic comparison
Fading: Cotton>Blended>Chemical fiber;
Easy Deformation: knitted > woven;
Fuzzing and pilling: cotton fabrics < blended fabrics (polyester-cotton) < wooly nitrile fabrics;
Static generation: chemical fiber>cotton;
Shrinkage: cotton>blended>chemical fiber;
Anti-wrinkle: cotton<blended<chemical fiber .
The reasons why fabrics are full-dyed and half-dyed
1. Full-dyed weaving:
A In order to achieve the effect of different colors – it is impossible to dye the same raw material with different colors after printing and dyeing, but it can be done by using yarn-dyed weaving.
B Color fastness and shade requirements – yarn-dyed products have good color fastness and good shade feel.
C Requirements for a sense of layering – a good sense of layering is required.
2. Semi-dyed weaving:
Differences in warp and weft raw materials – using different warp and weft yarn raw materials for dyeing Different performance requirements, half-dyed weaving can be used to reduce costs and increase styles.
7. Fur and leather fabrics
1 Fur
Advantages: natural and beautiful, elegant to wear, gorgeous and noble, comfortable and warm.
2 Artificial fur
Advantages: warm, beautiful appearance, plump, soft to the touch, fluffy, good elasticity, loose texture , light, wear-resistant, antibacterial and insect-proof, easy to store, washable
Disadvantages: poor wind resistance and high lint loss rate.
3 Natural leather
Advantages: Not easily deformed when exposed to water, easy to shrink when dried and washed, chemical resistant, anti-aging
Disadvantages: However, the sizes are different and the processing is difficult to rationalize.
4 Artificial leather
Advantages: soft texture, comfortable to wear, beautiful and durable, warm, moisture-absorbent and breathable, moth-proof, non-toxic No need to iron at the same time, the size is stable. </p
