Hemp fabric is one of the more popular fabrics. Linen clothing is sweat-absorbent, breathable, soft, anti-allergic, and easy to clean. It also has a certain antibacterial effect, especially suitable for summer. Hemp is a natural environmentally friendly material in nature. Light weight, soft to the touch, durable and comfortable; it is also increasingly attracting people to desire and pursue the truth, kindness and beauty in nature. This trend has even developed into a “nature is beautiful” situation. The highest state of hemp style is the natural characteristics it shows to people. Cotton and linen have many advantages. Let’s take a closer look below!
1. Breathable
The heat dissipation performance of linen is 5 times that of wool and 19 times that of silk. In hot weather conditions, wearing linen clothes will cause the surface temperature of the person’s skin to be 3-4 degrees Celsius lower than that of silk and cotton fabric clothes.
2. Reduce sweat
Help maintain the body’s electrolyte balance. Research shows that cotton and linen clothing can make the human body sweat 1.5 times less than cotton clothing.
3. Radiation protection
Modern people cannot live without computers and mobile phones. Radiation pollution is an inevitable problem for modern people. Japanese research shows that adding 20% cotton and linen to clothing fabrics can prevent 80% of radiation. It is especially suitable for white-collar workers and female friends who are planning to have children.
4. Anti-static
Blended fabrics containing only 10% cotton and linen are enough to exert antistatic effects. It can effectively reduce people’s restlessness, headache, chest tightness and dyspnea in a static environment.
5. Inhibit bacteria
Hemp has a good inhibitory effect on bacteria and fungi and can effectively prevent certain diseases. According to Japanese researchers, linen sheets can prevent the growth of bedsores in bedridden patients. Linen clothing can help prevent certain skin types, such as common rashes and chronic eczema.
6. Hypoallergenic principle
For people with skin allergies, linen clothing is undoubtedly a great blessing, because cotton and linen fabrics will not cause allergic reactions and help To prevent certain allergic diseases, cotton and linen can reduce inflammation and prevent fever.
So what issues should we pay attention to when wearing and washing linen clothing?
Composition and production
The fiber length of ramie fabric is several times that of cotton. The degummed hemp fiber has good luster and whiteness. Ramie fabric is breathable and cool. This is mainly due to the large gaps in the structure, so it is very breathable, absorbent and highly efficient at absorbing moisture. Hemp fiber is 7 times stronger than cotton, has low ductility, is 20% lighter than cotton, and is not afraid of worms and mold.
Flax fiber has the characteristics of strong tension, softness, fineness, weak electrical conductivity, fast water absorption and dispersion, and large expansion rate. It can spin high-count yarn and make high-end clothing. Flax fiber is a typical functional and environmentally friendly rare textile fiber. Its main functions are: moisture absorption, breathability, comfort, heat dissipation, anti-mildew, antibacterial, anti-radiation, no static electricity, dissipating light and sound waves, anti-ultraviolet, beneficial to human metabolism and other excellent functions and the microcirculation function is not restricted. They are globally recognized resources with ecological environmental characteristics and rare and precious resources, and are known as the “Crown of Natural Fibers”.
Use the washing machine carefully
It is best not to use the washing machine to wash cotton and linen clothes. Linen is soft and can easily warp and wrinkle if shaken in the washing machine. If washing in a washing machine, place it in a laundry bag and use the gentle gear of the washing machine.
Spray water to solve wrinkles
Purely natural products have less resistance to wrinkles. Of course, we all admit that casual pleats are the temperament of cotton and linen. In fact, it’s best to take good care of them by spraying some water vapor on them locally, they will drape well and the clothes will become smooth after drying.
Avoid contact
Linen clothes should not be exposed to the sun for a long time, otherwise the fibers will harden due to the characteristics of the linen fabric, thus affecting comfort and type of clothing. You can try turning your clothes upside down to dry in the gentle sunlight. After washing, just dry it in the wind to make it smooth. After ironing at medium temperature, it should be stored in a humid environment.
The difference between linen and hemp can be tested from three aspects: First, appearance, ramie products have obvious wrinkles and obvious edges, linen products have large wrinkles, which are natural and will spread gradually. The second is the surface of the fabric. The structure of ramie is very loose, and the gaps between the warp and weft lines of the fabric are large. The structure of linen fabric is very full, and the drape is particularly good. Third, when ramie comes in contact with water, it hardens, while linen is very soft. Linen absorbs UV rays but should not be left exposed to sunlight for long periods of time. Can be washed in the washing machine, but do not dehydrate to prevent wrinkles and make it difficult to iron.
