In summer, when many people buy T-shirts, they will ask what kind of cotton it is, why it feels silky smooth, and why it feels so textured. Today, let’s distinguish the characteristics of various types of cotton
Combed cotton: Combing is a process, a type of pure cotton, which removes impurities and thick short fibers from the fibers. . Combed cotton, as the name suggests, is cotton fiber that has been treated by the combing process. Because the cotton fibers are straightened out and impurities and short fibers are removed, the yarn spun from combed cotton is thinner and of better quality.
O’Dell is more expensive than Modal. O’Dell is mostly used in T-shirts. O’Dell O’Dell fabric is an environmentally friendly fabric. O’Dell organically combines the soft feel of cotton with the soft luster of silk. It has the hygroscopicity and moisture conductivity of cotton, and the soft, smooth, breathable, refreshing, and drapey and elegant properties of silk. Its appearance satisfies people’s desire for health-conscious wear. , the pursuit of comfort and aesthetics. O’Dell’s unique blended material makes the fabric light, thin and smooth. You don’t have to worry about shrinkage of the fabric under regular washing. It is also easy to wash and quick-drying, which is in line with modern people’s pursuit of convenience in clothing that requires no ironing, washability and wearability.
Mercerized cotton is also pure cotton, but it has one more mercerization process than pure cotton, which is the difference in technology.
Mercerized cotton fabric is the best among cottons. It is lighter and thinner than ordinary cotton fabrics, and has good hygroscopicity and air permeability. Mercerized cotton fabric uses cotton as raw material, which is made into high-woven yarn through worsted spinning, and then undergoes special processing procedures such as singeing and mercerization to make high-quality mercerized yarn that is smooth, bright, soft and wrinkle-resistant. It has a silky sheen, the fabric feels soft, is moisture-absorbent and breathable, and has good elasticity and drape; the fabric is refreshing, comfortable, soft, moisture-absorbent and breathable, does not deform, and has excellent gloss. Rich colors, comfortable and casual to wear, fully reflecting the wearer’s temperament and taste
Washed cotton is made of cotton cloth, and the appearance of the fabric is colored after special treatment , the gloss becomes softer, the feel becomes softer, and the subtle wrinkles reflect the feeling of old materials. This kind of clothing has the advantages of not being easily deformed, not fading, and does not need to be ironed. The surface of the better washed cotton cloth also has a uniform layer of plush. The washed cotton materials with unique characteristics mainly include natural cotton and chemical fiber fabrics. It is an ideal material for water-washed cotton. The surface of washed cotton has been treated with high-temperature ironing and has a prominent film feel, making it difficult for cotton fibers to come out. It also has good tensile strength, washability, high density and good thermal insulation performance. It is an ideal cotton for mid-to-high-end cold-proof outdoor clothing. One of the excipients.
High-woven cotton is characterized by thick cotton and high-end products. Many customers think that cotton is thick when worn in summer. On the contrary, I like high-woven cotton best. It is soft and not stiff when touching the skin. , strong sweat absorption, if the temperature increases, it will emit moisture, making the fabric reach a water balance state, making people feel comfortable. 42 count cotton, 60 count cotton, the larger the number, the finer the yarn, the better the quality, and of course the higher the price
