What is woolen fabric? The difference between woolen fabrics and worsted fabrics. Among clothing fabrics, we often hear the word woolen fabrics, which are widely used in various clothing productions. But in fact, there are still many friends who don’t know what woolen fabrics are. The following editor will popularize some knowledge about woolen fabrics for everyone, so that everyone can have a simple understanding of woolen fabrics.
Wool spinning is a spinning method of wool. The process is: raw wool – initial processing – optional wool – blending and oiling – woolen carding – fine yarn – post-processing – carded wool yarn. Woolen fabrics have fluff on the surface and generally have no obvious texture. They are heavy fabrics with a soft and elastic feel. Woolen fabrics are characterized by rough style and hard feel. They are mainly used to make coats, such as the most typical Markton, short and smooth, etc.
The difference between woolen fabrics and worsted fabrics
1. Worsted fabric has a smooth surface and fine and clear texture. The luster is soft and natural, and the color is pure. It feels soft and elastic. Pinch the dough tightly with your hands and loosen it. The crease will not be obvious and it can quickly return to its original shape. Most of the yarn count is double ply.
2. Woolen fabric has a plump surface and a tight and thick texture. There is fine velvet on the surface, and the texture is generally not visible. It feels warm, plump and elastic. The yarns are mostly thick single yarns.
3. Worsted and woolen spinning are all containing wool, but worsted spinning generally uses high-grade wool, such as Australian wool, while woolen spinning can use ordinary wool as raw material. The difference between worsted and woolen is mainly due to differences in looms and processing.
Generally speaking, worsted spinning has gone through many processes and the fabric is highly delicate. But it cannot be said that worsted spinning is definitely better than woolen spinning. Because whether a fabric is worsted or woolen depends on what occasion you use it and what kind of clothes you make.
As for the price, under the premise of the same thickness, the price of worsted spinning is definitely higher than that of woolen spinning. But if the thickness is different, it certainly cannot be compared like this. For example, woolen coat fabrics are much more expensive than worsted fabrics!
