Whether you are buying scarves or baby home textiles, most people will first choose pure cotton clothing. However, in addition to pure cotton, there are also combed cotton, Tencel cotton, and long-lasting cotton on the market. Velvet cotton, etc., and the prices of various cottons are also very different. How should we distinguish them? Today, the editor will first take you to learn about “combed cotton”.
What is combed cotton
“Combed cotton” means that a delicate carding process is added to the spinning process. A “combing machine” is used to select neat and long fibers, and remove short fibers and impurities to produce smooth yarn, making the cotton more resilient and less prone to pilling, and the quality of the cotton is more stable.

Advantages of combed cotton
Combed cotton yarn is smoother, flatter, softer and more delicate to the touch. The quality of cotton is more stable and less likely to shrink and pill. The surface of the fabric that comes out is smooth, without neps, and its washability and durability will also be improved. The dyeing effect is also good and the colors are bright.

How to identify combed cotton
Put a single layer of cotton cloth on your hand. When the light is illuminated from the front, combed cotton is relatively compact and the shadow of the hand cannot be seen after light transmission. On the contrary, the outline of the hand is vaguely visible because the weave count of ordinary cotton is not high enough.

Shrinkage is an inevitable disadvantage of pure cotton clothes. The general shrinkage rate is 2% to 5%. Of course, those that have been specially processed and washed will not shrink. If you buy pure cotton clothes that have not been specially treated, how should you maintain them to prevent or reduce shrinkage?
Because pure cotton has the disadvantage of shrinking easily, the pure cotton clothes you buy home must be carefully maintained. Only proper maintenance and washing can prevent or reduce shrinkage. Everyone should realize that incorrect use of hot water for washing will cause multiple shrinkage. Incorrect washing methods and incorrect drying methods will cause pure cotton clothes to shrink or shrink multiple times. All correct laundering care is the best way to reduce or prevent shrinkage of cotton.
