Fabric classification
According to the fabric composition, it is divided into natural fabrics and chemical fabrics
Textile
refers to fabrics that use certain fibers and are woven in a certain way. Among all fabrics, textiles have the most variety and are the most widely used. Depending on the fiber composition and weaving method, the texture characteristics of textile fabrics are also different.
Line fabric
All fabrics made from linen yarn are called linen fabrics. Linen fabric is breathable, cool and relatively strong, but has poor wrinkle resistance. Since hemp fiber is difficult to arrange evenly, the surface texture of this type of fabric is rough and not smooth, giving it a simple, rough appearance and style.
Advantages
Moisture absorption and perspiration, high strength; stiff (three-dimensional Strong sense,);
Soft luster; insect-resistant and acid-resistant;
Disadvantages
Poor elasticity and slightly rough feel (rough style);
Poor cohesion; prone to mildew, wrinkles, and shrinkage;
Cotton fabric
Any fabric using cotton yarn as raw material is called cotton fabric. Its characteristics are relatively soft and comfortable, strong warmth retention, good hygroscopicity and breathability, but poor wrinkle resistance. Cotton fabrics are earthy in style.
Advantages
Breathable and sweat-absorbent, comfortable and soft; good warmth retention,
Antistatic; strong alkali resistance, good dyeability; anti-moth;
Disadvantages
Poor elasticity, easy to shrink; easy to fade, easy to mold;
Poor acid resistance; easy to wrinkle;
Silk fabric
It is divided into domestic silk (mulberry silk) and wild silk (tussah silk, etc.). All fabrics woven with silk activated fiber filaments are silk fabrics, which are characterized by being relatively light and thin, and have good It has a drapey feel, soft and elegant appearance, graceful and luxurious, relaxed and elegant. It has been an ideal fabric for making high-end clothing since ancient times.
Advantages
Bright and bright color; soft and smooth texture;
High hygroscopicity, good elasticity; good drape, acid resistance;
Disadvantages
Easy to wrinkle and snag;
Afraid of sun exposure and easy to snagging Insect-eaten; not resistant to alkali;
Wool fabric
All fabrics made of wool or other animal hair are wool fabrics, which are characterized by a strong sense of warmth.
Advantages
Warm and breathable; soft and elastic;
Strong acid resistance; good gloss;
Disadvantages
Easy to shrink and deform;
Not resistant to alkali and wear; prone to insects
Worsted woolen fabric
Wool woolen
Common pure wool raw materials
Sheep wool
In the knitting industry, since sheep wool is used the largest amount, “wool” has become the abbreviation of sheep wool.
Goat hair (mohair):
Goat hair is Refers to the coarse and dead hair that is cut off from goat hair. The Zhongwei goat hair in northwest my country also belongs to the mohair category.
Alpaca wool (ALPACA) is also called “alpaca wool”
The fiber is 20-40 cm long and comes in white, brown, gray, black and other colors. Because 90% is produced in Peru, it is also called “Peruvian wool”. It has two varieties, one has curly fibers and has a silver luster, the other has straight fibers with less curl and a luster similar to mohair.
Rabbit fur
Rabbit fur is light, fine and It is popular among people because of its softness, strong warmth retention and low price. It is composed of soft down and coarse hair, mainly including ordinary rabbit and Angora rabbit hair, with the latter having the best quality. The difference between rabbit hair and wool is that the fiber is slender and the surface is particularly smooth, making it easy to identify.
Chemical fiber fabric
All fabrics woven with chemical fibers become chemical fiber fabrics. They are generally stronger, more elastic, stiff (gua), not easy to deform, easy to wash and dry, not afraid of insects, not afraid of mildew, etc., but they are breathable and moisture-absorbing. Sex and softness are poor.
[Polyester, chiffon, nylon (the world’s earliest chemical fibers)]
Fur
Fur is an animal skin with only fur. Animal fur is naturally produced, and most of it shows natural and beautiful patterns, and has the unique luster of animal hair. Therefore, it has a handsome appearance, luxury, nobility, and elegance, and is a high-end fabric.
(leopard print, fox, mink)
Leather
Leather refers to animal skins that have been shaved and tanned, including artificial leather. Only animal skins with short-sighted skin flaps can be used to make leather, so the only common ones are sheepskin, cowhide, and pigskin. Leather is generally stiff, soft, elastic, and has a rough and unrestrained style.
