Fabric is the material used to make clothing. As one of the three elements of clothing, fabrics can not only interpret the style and characteristics of clothing, but also directly affect the color and shape of clothing. The following is the fabrics collected and organized by Kahn’s assistant. What are the basic common knowledge, welcome to read.
1. Fabric classification
1. Natural fibers: plants — cotton, hemp; animals — silk, wool
2. Synthetic fibers: polyester fabric, acrylic, nylon, vinylon, spandex, chlorine fiber
3. Man-made fibers: viscose, soybean fiber, glass fiber, metal fiber, bright silk (ice silk)
4. Blended fabrics: cotton-nylon blended (NC fabric), cotton-polyester blended (TC fabric), cotton-nylon-polyester blended (TNC fabric)
2. Fabric dyeing and finishing
1. Fiber dyeing: dyeing at the fiber stage, with good color fastness, mostly for color series products.
2. Yarn dyeing: Yarn is dyed in stages, the color fastness is better, and most of them are stripe series products.
3. Cloth dyeing: After dyeing the finished cloth, it is still easy to fade even though “color-fixing agent” is added
4. Piece dyeing: it is difficult to fix the color in the dyeing stage of the garment, and the color that has been strengthened is also easy to fade.
Three, commonly used fabric characteristics:
Cotton fabrics: pure cotton fabric, mercerized cotton, double-pipe cotton (American cotton), sea-island cotton (long-staple cotton: Xinjiang), lint cotton.
Common cotton: the first obtained is called common cotton; semi-worsted cotton: cotton treated by semi-worsted spinning; worsted cotton: cotton treated by worsted spinning.
Four, pure cotton
advantage:
1. Hygroscopic, breathable, comfortable and hygienic;
2. Soft to the touch, comfortable to wear
3. Good warmth retention (multi-choice underwear);
4. Good dyeability, soft luster and natural beauty
shortcoming:
1. The shrinkage rate is large, easy to wrinkle, and difficult to take care of;
2. Acid and alkali resistance, “mercerized cotton” can be obtained after treatment
3. Relatively not light-resistant and heat-resistant (avoid exposure to the sun);
4. Not resistant to mold, but resistant to moths (wash and store).
Five, mercerized cotton:
The best quality cotton, worsted high-woven yarn, and then processed by caustic soda dehairing process.
Monomercerized: After a caustic soda hair removal process (sweat-absorbing, breathable, soft to wear);
Double mercerizing: after two caustic soda hair removal processes (clear texture, deep and bright color, smooth hand feeling).
Advantages: (silk, light, cotton)
1. Retain the excellent properties of cotton, moisture absorption, breathability, softness and comfort;
2. The fabric is light and thin, with light and soft hand feeling, high yarn strength, good elasticity and drape;
3. The dyeing performance is improved, the color is bright, silky and bright, and it will not change color after long-term washing;
4. The fabric is crisp, good wrinkle resistance, not easy to pilling, comfortable and casual, reflecting the taste.
Disadvantages: sweating in summer is easy to show “salt”
6. Double piqué (breathable and sweat-wicking fabric)
1. The quality is very light, and it can be worn casually. 2. It is dry, breathable, and will not change shape after washing.
Seven, lint cotton
1. Long fibers and few foreign fibers. 2. Warp yarns have strong stretchability.
Eight, silk cover cotton:
The two sides are woven from different yarns, often with polyester as the front and cotton yarns as the reverse.
Nine, washing water cotton
1. The cotton fabric that has been soaked in water will not shrink after washing;
2. The surface is treated with high temperature, the film feeling is outstanding, and the cotton fiber is not easy to emerge;
3. Washable, good tensile force, high density, good heat preservation.
10. Silk fabric:
Silk, including mulberry silk, tussah silk, castor silk, cassava silk.
advantage:
1. Light-absorbing, smooth and elegant, pearly light;
2. There are wrinkles in the hand, the hand feels soft, and there is a slight scratching feeling;
3. Rubbing on both sides will produce a “siming” sound.
shortcoming:
1. The shrinkage rate is high, so it must be one size larger when purchasing;
2. It is easy to snag, difficult to take care of, and needs to be dry cleaned.
Eleven, bright silk:
The full name of the new fabric developed by “Montejiao” is “bright rayon”, which is similar to real silk.
advantage:
1. Comfortable, smooth, bright and supple;
2. Not sticky, not wrinkled, not easy to deform;
3. High toughness, wear-resistant and durable, easy to take care of;
4. Easy to wash and dry quickly, keep the luster and never fade.
Disadvantages: The raw material is nylon yarn, but it is better than nylon yarn. There are mixed fish and dragons in the market, and the quality is different.
