Both ramie and linen are linen fabrics. Many people like this type of fabric because they feel very breathable and comfortable to wear, especially in hot weather. Here is an introduction to which is more expensive and which is better, ramie or linen.
Ramie Which one is more expensive than linen?
Linen should be more expensive. Linen has also become French linen, which is softer and more comfortable. I don’t know the unit price of the fabric, but I know that the price of the finished shirt is about 200-300 yuan (I bought one at Uniqlo, the style is ordinary, but it is very versatile). If the style is relatively new, it will definitely be much more expensive.
The difference between flax and ramie
Flax fiber is the earliest natural fiber discovered and used by humans. Because of its natural texture, elegant and simple color, and anti-ultraviolet function, it is It has no irritating effect on human skin, has good heat dissipation function, and has certain antibacterial function. It is favored by consumers from wearing to using.
The higher the yarn count of linen products, the smoother the surface and the better the quality. First look at the glossiness. Look at the number of small bumps (grain heads) on the surface. The fewer the grain heads on the surface of a linen product, the better the quality. Third, look at the drape. Good linens have a good drape and are very smooth.
Some linen clothing is very stiff when worn on the body and hardens after being put into water. This is a characteristic of ramie products. The distinction between linen and ramie can be made from three aspects: first, the appearance, ramie products have obvious wrinkles and sharp edges, while linen products have larger, natural wrinkles, and will slowly spread out; second, the cloth surface, the structure of ramie is very loose, and the warp and weft of the fabric There are large gaps between the threads, and the linen fabric structure is very
It is full and has particularly good drape; thirdly, when exposed to water, ramie products harden, while linen products are very soft.
Uses of ramie
The stem fibers of ramie are slender, strong, white, shiny, strong in tensile strength, resistant to water and moisture, rich in elasticity and insulation, and can be woven into linen ( The linen produced in Liuyang, Hunan and Wanzai, Jiangxi is the most famous), aircraft wing cloth, lining cloth for the rubber industry, wire wrapping, incandescent yarn, fishing nets, rayon, rayon, etc., and can be blended with wool and cotton. It can be used to make high-grade clothing materials; short fibers can be used as raw materials for high-grade paper, gunpowder, rayon, etc., and can also be used to weave carpets, sacks, etc.
Uses of flax fiber
Flax has high development and utilization value. The fiber made from flax stems is an important raw material for the textile industry. It can be spun purely or blended with other fibers. Because flax fiber has many unique and irreplaceable advantages compared with animal fibers, other plant fibers, and synthetic fibers, it determines that it plays an important role in the national economy.
First of all, flax fiber is strong and soft. Its strength is 1.5 times that of cotton fiber and 1.6 times that of spun silk. It has a high spinnable count and smooth and neat fabrics, making it suitable for making high-end clothing materials.
Secondly, flax fiber has unique advantages such as strong hygroscopicity, fast heat dissipation, friction resistance, high temperature resistance, non-flammable, not easy to crack, low electrical conductivity, low dust collection rate, antibacterial and health care, and is suitable for making aircraft. Wing cloth, military cloth, fire protection, aerospace, medical and health care clothing and canvas, hoses, interior decoration cloth and craft embroidery products, etc.
Thirdly, hemp scraps and hemp scraps also have high utilization value. The processed short fibers, namely hemp cotton, can be used to produce blended yarns with wool, silk, cotton, chemical fibers, etc., or they can Spun pure linen yarn; linen scraps are high-quality raw materials for manufacturing artificial boards or high-grade paper.
