Why do textiles shrink
Why do textiles shrink
The shrinkage of textiles is related to the following four factors.
1. Different raw materials of fabrics have different shrinkage rates. Generally speaking, fibers with high hygroscopicity will expand when soaked in water, increase in diameter, shorten in length, and have a large shrinkage rate.
2. Different fabric densities have different shrinkage rates. If the longitudinal and latitudinal densities are similar, the longitudinal and latitudinal shrinkage rates are also similar. Fabrics with high warp density will have greater warp shrinkage.
3. Fabrics with different yarn counts have different shrinkage rates. Fabrics with a thicker yarn count will have a greater shrinkage rate, while fabrics with a finer yarn count will have a smaller shrinkage rate.
4. Fabric production processes are different, and shrinkage rates are also different. Generally speaking, during the weaving, dyeing and finishing process of fabrics, the fibers have to be stretched many times, and the processing time is long. The shrinkage of fabrics with greater tension will be greater, and vice versa. biST29sMq
