Today I would like to share with you some little knowledge about linen fabrics
First of all, you must know what linen material is. Hemp fiber textile fabrics are fibers obtained from various hemp plants, including bast fibers from the cortex of annual or perennial herbaceous dicotyledonous plants and leaf fibers from monocotyledonous plants. Linen materials include ramie, jute, green hemp, hemp, flax, apocynum and hone.
There are two types of common linen materials. The first type is pure linen fabrics, and the second type is linen blended fabrics.
The first category is pure linen fabric, which can be divided into three types: linen fabric, ramie fabric and other linen fabrics. Linen fabric is cool and comfortable to wear because of its fine, clean and smooth surface, soft and elastic feel. It has the advantages of not being close to the body due to sweating. The surface of ramie cloth is tight and flat, even and smooth. Ramie clothing is tall, dry and breathable to wear.
The second category is linen blended fabrics, which are fabrics blended with ramie, flax fiber and other fibers. So what are the common linen blended fabrics?
There are four common types of linen blended fabrics. The first is silk and linen sand-washed fabrics. It has the excellent characteristics of silk fabrics and linen fabrics. This fabric is comfortable and elastic, and is very suitable for making summer clothing. . The second type is hemp and chemical fiber blended fabrics, which include fabrics blended with hemp and one or more chemical fibers. This fabric not only has the cool, comfortable, crisp and breathable characteristics of hemp fabric, but also has the excellent characteristics of the other two fibers. , very suitable for making all kinds of fashionable clothes, jackets, skirt materials, trousers materials, etc. The third type is wool and linen blended fabrics. This kind of fabric is made of different proportions of wool and linen blended yarns, including wool and linen herringbone and various wool and linen tweeds. Wool and linen blended fabrics have a smooth, crisp, and smooth feel. It has good elasticity and is generally used to make youth clothing, suits, skirts, vests, etc. The fourth type is linen-cotton blended interwoven fabric. This kind of fabric is generally blended with 55% linen and 45% cotton, or 50% linen and 50% cotton. The appearance maintains the unique rough and crisp style of linen fabric, and has the characteristics of cotton fabric. Its soft characteristics improve the shortcomings of traditional linen fabrics, which are not fine enough and easy to fluff, and are suitable for summer clothing.
Let me share with you the advantages and disadvantages of linen fabrics: breathable, uniquely cool, non-sticky when sweating; brightly colored, with good natural luster, not easy to wear Fading, not easy to shrink; thermal conductivity and moisture absorption are greater than cotton fabrics, not sensitive to acid-base reactions, anti-fungal, not susceptible to moisture and mildew; anti-moth, good anti-fungal; disadvantages are: rough feel, not slippery and comfortable to wear, easy to wrinkle , poor drape; hemp fiber steel is hard and has poor cohesion.
Finally, I would like to share with you how to care for hemp fabric clothing. Hemp fiber is stiff and has poor cohesion. It is lighter than cotton fabric when washing. Remember to use a hard brush and rub hard. To prevent the fabric from fluffing, do not wring it out after washing. Colored fabrics should not be soaked in hot water and should not be exposed to the sun to avoid fading. Have you remembered this?
