Distinguishing clothing fabrics is a very important skill that can help us choose suitable clothing. Here are some common ways to identify clothing fabrics.
1. Touch feeling: Touch the fabric with your hands to feel its texture and feel. Silk is usually smooth and soft, cotton will have a texture, and wool will have a fuzzy feel.
2. Look at the gloss: observe the gloss of the fabric. Silk and satin generally have a shiny appearance, while cotton and linen are relatively smooth.
3. Stretchability: Stretch the fabric to see if it has a certain elasticity. Fabrics with good elasticity are usually made from elastic fibers such as spandex, such as spandex.
4. Fiber characteristics: Understand the fiber composition of the fabric. Common fibers include cotton, linen, silk, wool, polyester, etc. You can check the clothing label or ask a store clerk for this information.
5. Burning test: Carefully remove a small piece of fabric, ignite it and observe its burning. Different fibers will behave differently when burned. For example, silk will emit a smell similar to burning hair when burning, while cotton fabric will have a smell like burning paper when burning.
6. Detail inspection: Observe the details of the fabric, such as texture, pattern, weaving method, etc. These details can help us judge the quality and characteristics of the fabric.
It should be noted that the above methods are only some common methods for preliminary judgment of fabrics, and may not be applicable to some special fabrics or blended fabrics. If you need a deeper understanding of the texture and composition of the fabric, it is recommended to consult a professional or refer to relevant information.
