Combed cotton and pure cotton fabrics are common fabric types. They have received widespread attention for their soft fiber texture and good breathability. However, there are some differences in the production process, fiber processing and fabric texture between combed cotton and pure cotton fabrics. The differences between combed cotton and pure cotton fabrics will be introduced in detail below.
1. Production process:
– Combed cotton: Combed cotton is a high-quality cotton fiber obtained through the processing technology of cotton fiber. Quality cotton fabric. During the production process of combed cotton, the cotton fiber is combed through multiple passes of the carding machine to remove short fluff and impurities, thus improving the smoothness of the fiber. This process ensures fiber length and strength, making the yarn softer and more uniform.
– Pure cotton fabric: Pure cotton fabric refers to fabrics made of 100% natural cotton fiber. The production process of pure cotton fabrics is relatively simple. It only requires basic processing of cotton fibers such as spinning and weaving, and does not involve the mixing of other fibers.
2. Fiber processing:
– Combed cotton: In the production process of combed cotton, fine machine combing technology is used , remove the shorter cotton fibers with more impurities, leaving only the long fibers. Therefore, the fibers of combed cotton are more neatly arranged and have a higher fiber spinning rate.
– Pure cotton fabric: The cotton fibers in pure cotton fabrics are not specially processed or screened, and fibers of various lengths are retained. Compared with combed cotton, pure cotton fabrics have lower fiber uniformity and fiber worsting rate.
3. Fabric texture:
– Combed cotton: Combed cotton yarn is smoother and softer due to carding and fiber selection. , the fabric has fine texture and high gloss. Compared with pure cotton fabrics, combed cotton has a smoother, more comfortable texture and a better hand feel.
– Pure cotton fabric: The texture of pure cotton fabric is plain and relatively rough. It has not been processed by carding and fiber selection, and the structure of the yarn is relatively loose, so the feel is not as delicate as combed cotton.
In general, combed cotton has higher fiber uniformity, fiber worsting rate and fabric texture than pure cotton fabrics. However, in certain application scenarios, the relatively simple and original characteristics of pure cotton fabrics also have certain advantages. Therefore, when choosing fabrics, you need to consider the characteristics of different fabrics, as well as your own requirements for fabric texture, comfort and functionality.
