Pure wool fabrics have the characteristics of warmth, beauty, and good elasticity. They are the first choice for making high-end suits. However, with the development of modern textile technology, there are more and more various kinds of relatively cheap wool-like fabrics, which are quite affordable. People feel that the fake is the real thing.
The following are several ways to identify pure wool fabrics for your reference when choosing clothing:
1. Look at the color: The color of pure wool fabrics is naturally soft, bright and not stale. In contrast, blended or pure fiber fabrics may have a darker luster or have a shimmery feel.
2. Feel: Pure wool fabrics usually feel smooth, soft and not stiff, while blended or pure fiber products are either less soft, or too soft and loose, and have a sticky feeling.
3. Test elasticity: pinch the fabric tightly with your hands, then release it immediately to see the elasticity of the fabric. Pure wool fabrics have a high rebound rate and can quickly return to their original shape, while blended or pure fiber products have poor wrinkle resistance and mostly leave obvious wrinkle marks or recover slowly.
4. Identification by combustion method: Pull out a bunch of yarn at the break of the fabric, ignite it with a match, and carefully observe the fiber burning speed, flame color and residual ash, etc. Generally, pure wool fibers do not burn quickly, have small flames, smell of burning hair, and are extinguished as soon as they are removed from the fire. And the ashes after burning are curled, with black char, easy to crush with fingers, and are in powder form. If there are viscose granules, it means that the fabric contains a lot of chemical fibers. The more hard objects in the form of viscose granules, the It means that the higher the proportion of chemical fibers
