Jacquard Fabric classification
Monochrome jacquard is a jacquard dyed fabric-the jacquard grey fabric is woven by a jacquard loom and then dyed and finished. The finished fabric is a solid color; multi-color jacquard is a yarn-dyed jacquard fabric-the yarn is dyed and then woven by the jacquard loom The yarn-dyed jacquard fabric has more than two colors, the fabric is rich in color, does not appear monotonous, the pattern has a strong three-dimensional effect, and the grade is higher. The width of the fabric is not limited, and the pure cotton fabric shrinks slightly, does not ball, and does not fade. Jacquard fabrics are generally used for high- and mid-grade clothing materials or materials used in the decoration industry (such as curtains, sofa materials). The manufacturing process of jacquard fabrics is complicated. Warp yarns and weft yarns are intertwined with each other ups and downs to form different patterns, with concavities and convexities, and weave more beautiful patterns such as flowers, birds, fish, insects, birds and animals.
The texture is soft, delicate and slippery with unique texture, good gloss, good drape and air permeability, and high color fastness (yarn dyeing). The patterns of jacquard fabrics are large and exquisite, and the colors are distinct and three-dimensional, while the patterns of small jacquard fabrics are relatively simple and single.
Satin jacquard fabric (cloth): warp and weft are interwoven at least once every three yarns, so the satin weave makes the fabric density higher, so the fabric is thicker. Satin weave products are more expensive than similar plain weave and twill weave products. Fabrics woven with satin weave are collectively referred to as satin fabrics. Satin fabric has the front and back sides. The interweaving points in a complete loop are the least, and the floating thread is the longest. The surface of the fabric is almost entirely composed of floating threads in the warp or weft direction. The texture of the satin fabric is soft. The satin fabric has the front and back sides, and the cloth surface is smooth and delicate, rich in luster. The most common satin fabric is striped satin, or satin for short. It is divided into two kinds of fabrics: 40 satin strips of 2 meters 4 width and 60 satin strips of 2 meters 8 width. First weaving and then dyeing process, this kind of fabric is generally solid color, with horizontal strip extension. The pure cotton fabric has a slight shrinkage, does not ball, and is not easy to fade.
Satin jacquard fabric (fabric)
Knowledge of "Satin Jacquard Fabric".
First of all, please understand these three concepts: plain weave, twill weave, and satin.
Plain weave: The fabric woven with plain weave is called plain weave. That is, the warp yarn and the weft yarn are interlaced every other yarn (that is, the yarn is 1 up and 1 down). This kind of cloth is characterized by many interweaving points, firm texture, scratching, and smooth surface. High-end embroidery fabrics are generally plain weave fabrics.
Twill: The warp and weft are interlaced at least once every two yarns, that is, 2 up and 1 down or 3 up and 1 down. By adding warp and weft interweaving points to change the structure of the fabric, it is collectively referred to as twill fabric. The characteristic of this kind of cloth is that it is relatively thick and has a strong sense of three-dimensional structure. There are 30 branches, 40 branches, and 60 branches.
Satin cloth: warp and weft are interwoven once at least three yarns apart, so the satin weave makes the fabric density higher, so the fabric is thicker. Satin weave products are more expensive than similar plain weave and twill weave products, and the fabric surface is smooth, fine and shiny. Plain weave, twill weave and satin are the three basic ways of weaving warp and weft. There is no specific difference between good and bad, each has its own characteristics, among which satin is definitely the finest of pure cotton fabrics.
Let's talk about tribute in detail.
Satin satin must distinguish four concepts: satin, satin strip, satin grid, satin jacquard.
What kind of fabric is satin? In fact, through the introduction just now, you have already understood that "plain weave, twill, and satin" are all fabrics, not specific fabrics.
The most common satin fabric is striped satin, referred to as satin strip. The pattern is a horizontal strip extension (see picture). Using the process of weaving and then dyeing, this kind of fabric is generally solid color. Can not afford the ball, not easy to fade.
There is also a kind of satin called satin grid, which is also a solid color and is a grid-like pattern (see picture).
Satin strips and satin grids are generally the raw materials for hotel bedding. They are inexpensive and luxurious and practical. Satin strips and satin grids are also used to make home kits, but they are far less popular than satin jacquard fabrics.
Jacquard fabric: The pattern on the fabric is woven, not ordinary printing, nor embroidery. When the fabric is weaving, the warp and weft structure is changed to form a pattern, the yarn count is fine, the needle thread density is high, it is not deformed, does not fade, and has a good sense of comfort. Jacquard is very popular in the market, and satin bedding looks high-grade and tasteful. To distinguish the quality of satin, compare the yarn count and density.
The satin also talks about the yarn count. Let's talk about the number of counts first, which is what we often see 30, 40, 60, etc.! For example, some friends call it 30S for 30, it is the same, there is no difference! So what exactly is count? I understand it this way:
Count is the standard of yarn thickness. For example, one gram of cotton can be made into 30 yarns of 1 meter, that is 30 yarns, and one gram of cotton can be made of 40 yarns of 1 meter long, that is 40 yarns; one gram of cotton can be made into 60 yarns. A yarn with a length of 1 meter is 60 yarns. In fact, the higher the yarn count, the thinner the yarn. The thinner the yarn is to weave, the softer and more comfortable the cloth will be. However, high-count fabrics require high-quality raw materials (cotton), and they also have high requirements for spinning mills and textile weaving mills, so the cost of fabrics is relatively high. High yarn count cloth is not suitable for bedding, because it is too thin!
Fabric maintenance method:
Washing: The clothing is made of protein-based delicate health care fiber. It is not suitable to rub rough items and wash with a washing machine. The clothes should be immersed in cold water for 5-10 minutes. Use special silk detergent to synthesize low-foaming washing powder or neutral. Rub lightly with soap, (if you are washing small fabrics such as silk scarves, shampoo can also be used better), and the colored silk clothing can be rinsed repeatedly in clean water.
Drying: After washing, clothing should not be exposed to the sun, nor should it be heated with a dryer. Generally, it should be dried in a cool, ventilated place. Because the ultraviolet rays in the sun easily make silk fabrics yellow, fade and age. Therefore, after washing, silk clothing should not be twisted to remove the water. It should be gently shaken, and the reverse side should be spread out to air. Let it dry until it is 70% dry before ironing or shaking it flat.
Ironing: The anti-wrinkle performance of clothing is slightly worse than that of chemical fiber, so there is a saying that "no wrinkle is not real silk". After washing, the clothes are wrinkled and need to be ironed to be firm, elegant and beautiful. When ironing, let the clothes dry until 70% dry, then spray water evenly, wait 3-5 minutes before ironing, the ironing temperature should be controlled below 150°C. The iron should not directly touch the silk surface to avoid aurora.
Preservation: Preserve clothing. For thin underwear, shirts, trousers, skirts, pajamas, etc., wash them first, iron them dry, and then store them. For autumn and winter clothing, jackets, Hanfu, and cheongsam that are inconvenient to take apart and wash, they should be cleaned with dry cleaning until they are ironed to prevent mildew and moth. After ironing, it can also play the role of sterilization and pest control. At the same time, the boxes and cabinets storing clothes should be kept clean and sealed as far as possible to prevent dust pollution.
