Introduction to “Corduroy” fabric
Corduroy is woven with a double weft structure and then finished with cut velvet. The fabric has cord-like velvet strips on the surface, also known as corduroy.
The raw material of corduroy is generally cotton, but it is also blended or interwoven with polyester, acrylic, spandex and other fibers. Corduroy uses a wide range of yarns. The warp yarns are usually 18-48tex (32-12 inch count) single yarn, or 10tex×2-28tex×2 (60/2-21/2 inch count) strands; the weft yarn is commonly used 14.5- 36tex (40-16 English count) single yarn. The weave adopts a double weft weave in which two sets of weft yarns are interwoven with one set of warp yarns. The ground weave has plain weave, twill weave and equal weft weight. The ground weft and warp yarns are interwoven to form a ground fabric, and the pile weft and warp yarns are interwoven to form rows of loops. The loops are cut off by cutting pile, and after brushing and finishing, towering corduroy strips are formed on the surface of the fabric. The weave adopts a double weft weave in which two sets of weft yarns are interlaced with one set of warp yarns. Corduroy is a high weft density fabric with a warp tightness of 35%-65% and a weft tightness of 110%-200%. The arrangement ratio of ground weft and pile weft is 1:2 and 1:3.
There are many types of corduroy. According to the thickness of the velvet strips, it is divided into extra thin strips (more than 19 strips/2.54cm), thin strips (15-19 strips/2.54cm), medium strips (9-14 strips/2.54cm), and thick strips (6-8 strips/2.54cm). 2.54cm), wide strips (less than 6 strips/2.54cm), and intermediate strips (alternating thickness) of corduroy, etc. Generally, thick strips of corduroy use strands in the warp direction and single yarns in the weft direction; medium strips of corduroy have both warp and weft directions. Use single yarn; thin strips of corduroy can be single yarn or stranded.
According to the different yarn structures used, it is divided into full yarn corduroy, half-line corduroy and full-line corduroy; according to different processing techniques, it is divided into dyed corduroy, printed corduroy, yarn-dyed corduroy and jacquard corduroy (jacquard corduroy). Partially raised, forming various patterns).
Corduroy has round and plump velvet strips, wear-resistant velvet, thick texture, soft hand feel and good warmth retention. It is mainly used for clothing, shoes and hats for men, women, the elderly and children. It is also suitable for furniture decoration cloth, handicrafts, toys, etc.
When washing corduroy, it is not advisable to scrub hard or use a hard-bristled brush to scrub hard. It is advisable to use a soft-bristled brush to gently brush in the direction of the pile. It is not suitable to iron and it is not suitable to press heavily when collecting to keep the pile plump and erect. SMgriSwQuO
