1What is yarn count?
The common ones on the market are 30, 40, 60, etc.! For example, some friends call 30 pieces 30S, which is the same, there is no difference!
2So what exactly is count?
Count is the standard for the thickness of yarn.
An analogy
One tael of cotton can be made into 30 1-meter-long yarns, that is, 30 counts, and one tael of cotton can be made into 40 1-meter-long yarns, that is That is 40 counts; 1 tael of cotton can be made into 60 yarns 1 meter long, that is 60 counts. In fact, the higher the yarn count, the finer the yarn. The thinner the yarn is, the thinner the cloth will be. Soft and comfortable.
High-count cloth requires high-quality raw materials (cotton), and it also requires high-quality raw materials (cotton), and also requires high-quality raw materials for yarn mills and textile weaving mills. The requirements are relatively high, so the cost of the cloth is relatively high.
3What is density?
The density of cloth is a very important data in the textile industry! In the industry, fabrics basically don’t talk about count, they only talk about
** Multiply ** (such as 110*90, 128*68, 65*78, 133*72), because there are very few choices for count, generally 30S and 40S, and 60S
There are very few applications. It can be said that 60S cloth is not suitable for bedding because it is too thin!
The density of fabric refers to the number of warp or weft yarns that the fabric has per unit length. Density is divided into warp density and weft density, referred to as warp density and weft density. Its measurement expression method is generally adopted in my country:
Represented by the number of yarns in a length of 1 inch (2.54 cm).
For example:The warp density of a certain fabric is 128 threads/inch, and the weft thread density is 60 threads/inch. When writing, it is expressed by warp density × weft density, that is: 128×60
In short, the count of the fabric refers to the thickness of the yarn, and the density of the fabric refers to how many yarns are contained within 1 inch.
4How to calculate the density of cloth?
Calculating the density of fabric is easy or difficult. It is difficult to judge the number of yarns within 1 inch of a piece of fabric with the naked eye, and the calculation is time-consuming and laborious. Therefore, we generally look at the density of the fabric. Everyone likes to use density mirrors, and the job is very simple with the help of tools.
5Several misunderstandings
Misunderstanding 1:The more the count, the better. The higher the count, the thicker the cloth. The higher the count, the denser the cloth!
View:Not necessarily. For the same density, a higher count is better, but those above 60S cannot be used as bedding; the higher the density, the denser the cloth; the lower the count, the thicker the yarn, and the cloth The thicker!
Myth 2: 30S and 40S fabrics are very poor.
View:That’s not the case. You must know that among big brand bedding manufacturers, more than 95% are 30S and 40S. It can be said that 98% of the bedding we see now are 30S and 40S. There are more. They are 20-count (the fabric is very thick) and 60-count; embroidery and printing are both 30- and 40-count, and 60-count only have jacquards, satin strips, etc., and jacquards are also relatively small.
6Several professional terms
Plain weave fabric:Every other warp and weft yarn is interlaced , the interweaving points are densely arranged, and there is no difference between the front and back sides, so the plain weave fabric has a tight structure and a firm texture, but it feels hard.
Twill fabric:It is a fabric with twill weave. The cloth surface has obvious diagonal lines, good feel, gloss and good elasticity.
Satin fabric:The warp or weft of the satin fabric forms some independent, non-connected warp or weft points in the fabric. The cloth surface is almost entirely covered by the warp or weft, and the surface It seems to have diagonal lines, but it does not have obvious diagonal lines like twill. The warp and weft yarns are interlaced less often, giving it a smooth and bright appearance.
