Basic knowledge of clothing fabrics includes fiber classification, fiber properties and selection principles. Here is a detailed introduction:
1. Fiber classification:
– Natural fibers: such as cotton, linen, silk, wool, etc., source It is suitable for plants or animals and has good breathability and comfort.
– Chemical fiber: such as polyester fiber, nylon, acrylic fiber, etc., which are artificially synthesized and have the characteristics of wear resistance, anti-wrinkle and easy care.
– Synthetic fibers: such as rayon, viscose fiber, etc., which are processed from natural fibers or chemical fibers and have luster and softness.
2. Fiber characteristics:
– Cotton: good hygroscopicity, good breathability, and high comfort.
– Linen: has good air permeability, strong hygroscopicity, heat resistance, but easy to wrinkle.
– Silk: high gloss, soft feel, good comfort, but low tensile strength.
– Wool: Good warmth retention and high elasticity, but has problems with pilling and shrinkage.
– Polyester fiber: Anti-wrinkle, easy to maintain shape, but slightly less breathable.
– Nylon: It has the characteristics of wear resistance and high strength, but has poor hygroscopicity.
3. Selection principles:
– Applicable occasions: Choose the appropriate fiber according to the wearing occasion and season. For example, you usually choose cotton or linen fabrics with good breathability in summer, and wool or blended fabrics with better warmth in winter.
– Comfort: Consider whether the softness, breathability and moisture absorption of the fabric can provide a comfortable wearing experience.
– Convenience of care: Understand the care methods of fabrics, choose fiber types that are easy to clean and maintain, and avoid unnecessary trouble for yourself.
– Functional requirements: Choose appropriate fabrics according to the functional requirements of the clothing. For example, sportswear needs to be breathable, moisture-absorbent, and wear-resistant.
The above is the basic knowledge of clothing fabrics. I hope it will be helpful to you. When choosing clothing, you can use this understanding to judge the characteristics of the fabric and make the right choice based on your needs.
