Sweater Guide

Autumn clothing is definitely not without sweaters, sweaters of different materials, make clothes feel is not the same, generally divided into cotton sweater, chemical fiber sweater, wool blended sweater, wool sweater, cashmere sweater. Here's how to identify the material of the sweater.

A sweater is a woolen blouse woven by machine or hand. Sweater by hand knitting to woven, people wear a great change, from the original simple warm type to light, soft, thin direction of development, and more fashionable and beautiful.

Sweaters are made of cotton, chemical fiber, wool, wool blend and cashmere.

1.pure cotton wool is soft and warm, no pilling, water shrinkage deformation, the more through wide, small elasticity, color fastness is not strong, high temperature wash easy to fade. (Cotton sweater, no pilling, but easy to deform, warm effect is average)

2.chemical fiber wool does not shrink, feel smooth, elastic, it is best to buy with the nose smell, if there is no odor can buy, otherwise it will harm the skin. Prone to static electricity, wear dry skin itching. The price is lower than pure cotton. Chemical fiber sweater, good shape preservation, bright color. But the warm effect is poor, there may be pungent smell, buy before smell)

3.Wool blends are generally wool + acrylic fiber or polyester or combed cotton, etc. This kind of wool has better color fastness, better styling, small shrinkage rate and certain elasticity, but the warm effect is not as good as that of pure wool, and no pilling. Wool blend, warm effect is better, no shrinkage, no pilling, moderate price. But the warm effect is not as good as wool, more suitable for southern wear)

4.wool texture is soft, elastic, feel good, warm or good, the sweater in cotton shirt friction with each other for about 5 minutes, and then quickly separated from each other, such as no "patting" sound, is true sweater; If there is a "pop" sound, even with electrostatic sparks, is chemical fiber fabric, is a fake sweater. Woolen sweater shrinkage rate is relatively large, is determined by the shape and structure of the fiber itself, cashmere fiber is composed of scale layer and cortical layer, scale has a certain height and thickness, some edge zigzag shape, such as barbs, it is easy to produce fiber collusion and adhesion in the wearing process, pilling phenomenon. Wearing it becomes smaller and pilling is more severe. It should not be exposed to the sun. It should be washed in cold water or dry cleaned. (Wool sweater, easy to pilling, it is best to buy a size larger, in fact, its characteristics are related to the surface of the wool scales, after friction, they will tangle together, so it is easy to shrink, pilling and pilling because wool fiber is more difficult to break, their fiber is longer.)

5.cashmere texture is very soft and warm, elastic, feel very smooth, with the characteristics of wool, at the same time, easy to lose hair, the more wash thinner. But its shrinkage rate is not as high as wool's. (Cashmere sweater, cashmere fiber is shorter, so it does not pilling as much as wool, but because the fiber is shorter, it will have a layer of short hair exposed. Cashmere and wool have similar properties.)
Core-spun yarn

Core-spun yarn is generally made of synthetic fiber filament with good strength and elasticity and spun with cotton, wool, viscose fiber and other short fibers twisted together. Core-spun yarn has the excellent properties of filament yarn and staple fiber. The common core-covering yarn is terylene cotton core-covering yarn, which takes polyester filament as the core yarn and outsources cotton fiber. There is also spandex core-spun yarn, which is made of spandex filament yarn and other fibers. Knitted fabrics or jeans made from this core-spun yarn can stretch and fit comfortably.

Features: Comfort is relatively good, do not cut hands, can be worn closely, belonging to the feel of the relatively good material.

Mercerized cotton

Mercerized cotton is one of the best products in cotton. The fabric is made of cotton, which is made into high woven yarn through worsted spinning, and then made into bright, soft and wrinkle resistant high-quality mercerized yarn through special processing processes such as wool burning and mercerizing. High-quality knitted fabrics made from this material not only fully retain the excellent natural characteristics of raw cotton, but also have a silky luster and soft fabric feel.

Features: It is a popular material because it feels comfortable, smooth and can be worn close to the body. It has elasticity and strong extensibility.
