FABRICS

Double mercerized = yarn mercerized + fabric mercerized

Pure cotton double mercerized fabric is a “double burnt double silk” pure cotton product, which uses mercerized yarn made by singeing and mercerizing as raw material.

The CAD computer-aided design system and the CAM computer-aided production system can quickly weave the designed pattern fabric. After singeing and mercerizing the grey fabric again, after a series of finishing, this high-end knitted fabric is produced with clear textures on the surface. The pattern is novel, the luster is bright, and the hand feels smooth. It is better than mercerized cotton, but the price is slightly more expensive due to two mercerizing finishing. Double mercerized cotton knit fabric main used for high quality t-shirts clothing production.

Leisure T shirts are made of ordinary cotton knitted fabrics, which are comfortable to wear, but slightly poor in briskness. Easy to wrinkle, easy to deform after launching. Mainly to single jersey, rib, double-sided cloth, beads, double beads, etc.

This kind of fabric is rarely used by companies, because its price is very expensive. The price of 120’s yarn count cotton T-shirt fabric is as high as 40 US dollar per kilogram, while the price of 200’s yarn count cotton T-shirt fabric is even higher, reaching more than 600 USD one kilogram, and the 250’s yarn count cotton T-shirt fabric costs 1,800 pounds, and there is no technology for producing this fabric in all country, only few countries can do this.

Single jersey refers to the production of underwear weft knitting fabric, cloth surface is smooth, clear grain, fine texture, smooth feel, longitudinal and horizontal with good elongation, and transverse than longitudinal elongation, moisture absorption and air permeability is better, used for the production of various styles of sweaters and vests.

The weft plain knitted fabric for the production of T-shirts is generally 80-220 grams per square meter. The cloth surface is smooth, the grain is clear, the texture is fine, and the feel is smooth. The longitudinal and horizontal have good elongation, and the transverse elongation is larger than the longitudinal elongation. Hygroscopicity and permeability is good, but there is detachment and curling, sometimes also produce the phenomenon of coil skew.

Common jersey has bleached jersey, special white jersey, fine bleaching jersey, singed mercerized jersey; According to the dyeing and finishing process, there are plain dye solid jersey fabric, printed jersey and navy stripe jersey. According to the different raw materials used, there are blended jersey, silk jersey, acrylic jersey, polyester jersey, ramie jersey and so on.

Interlock is also called double jersey, because the cloth surface is flat and the texture on both sides is exactly the same, it is very popular in all kinds of t-shirt production.

The difference between single jersey and interlock fabric is as follows:

• Different lines

Single jersey fabrics have obvious undersides, which are the same on each side; interlock fabrics have the same texture on both sides, and both sides are exactly the same.

• Different warmth retention

The single jersey cloth is lower in weight, not very warm, and thinner; the interlock cloth is heavier, thicker, and warmer.

Interlock is a kind of weft knitted fabric. Soft and thick, with good horizontal elasticity, it is suitable for sewing underwear and sportswear in spring, autumn and winter. Because only the front loops can be seen on both sides of the fabric, it is also called double-sided fabric.

Cotton wool cloth is a commonly used item in people’s daily life. It is used more and more widely. It is not only limited to making clothes, but can also be used in all aspects of life.

Interlock is double rib knitted fabric, which is a knitted fabric made of two rib weaves compounded with each other. The fabric has a soft hand feel, good elasticity, even cloth surface, clear grain, and stability is better than jersey and rib cloth.

Most of the raw materials of cotton wool fabrics are cotton yarns with a linear density of 14-28 tex, and the twist is slightly smaller than that of jersey yarns to increase the softness of cotton sweaters and trousers. Blended cotton wool fabrics mainly include vinyl cotton blended fabric and chlorine cotton blended fabric, and chemical fiber fabrics include acrylic cotton wool fabric, polyester cotton wool fabric and spandex cotton wool fabric. The striped small squares woven by the striping process are unique; the yarn-dyed process can be used to produce horizontal strips, color strips, thunder flowers and other varieties. Interlock cloth can be used to sew cotton sweaters, sweatshirts, outerwear, vests, briefs, pajamas, etc.

Cotton wool cloth, which is thick, soft, good in warmth, without curling, and has certain elasticity, is widely used to sew cotton sweater pants and sports shirt pants.

Rib (1×1 rib, 2×2 rib, 2×3 rib, etc. )

Rib knitted fabric has the dispersibility, hemming and extensibility of plain weave fabric, and also has greater elasticity.

Commonly used on the collar and cuffs of T-shirts, it has a good body-fitting effect and is very elastic (more elastic than stretch cotton), which is mainly used for casual style clothing.

Common ones are 1+1 ribs (flat ribs), 2+2 ribs, and spandex ribs.

Double rib cloth: Ordinary double-sided cloth, also called cotton wool cloth, is composed of two ribs intersecting and compounding. Common ones include cotton wool cloth, needled cotton wool cloth, spandex cotton wool cloth and so on.

There are also many kinds of rib cloth, 1*1 rib cloth, 2*2 rib cloth, 3*3 rib cloth, 1*2 rib cloth, etc. Depending on the machine, there can also be round knitting rib cloth, flat knitting rib cloth, etc., depending on the material If they are different, there are many varieties, almost countless.

The structure of thick-knitted fabrics is the same as that of ordinary knitted fabrics. The main reason is the difference in style. Because the yarn counts of thick-knitted fabrics are relatively thick, the woven fabric texture is rough, the style is more atmospheric, and the air permeability is better. The fabric weight is higher, and thick needle fabric has its unique advantages and characteristics, which is very suitable for thick needle style T-shirts.

Piqué is a kind of weft knitted fabric. The ingredients can be cotton, blended cotton, or chemical fiber.

The surface of the cloth is porous, like a honeycomb, which is more breathable, moisture permeable, dry and washable than ordinary knitted cloth. Because of its special texture and easy to identify, it is also called “Borobu”.

Because piqués absorb sweat and are not easily deformed, they can’t afford the ball. They are generally used as T-shirts and sportswear. Many big brands of POLO shirts are made of piqué. It can give us a gentle touch and a comfortable enjoyment even in the heat of the day. The appearance is soft and casual, does not deform after washing, and does not deform after washing.

Piqué is a category of weft knitted fabrics on large circular knitting machines. According to the different weaving methods, it can be divided into single bead (four-corner PK) and double bead (hexagonal PK). It is different from ordinary single jersey and double-sided knitting. The disadvantage of wool fabrics is that single-sided fabrics and double-sided fabrics are softer and more skin-friendly, and can be used as t-shirts or lapels. Beads are harder, and they are mostly used to make lapel polo shirts. However, there is also a combined weaving method of cotton covered polyester and polyester covered cotton. The weight (thickness) of the fabric can be increased by adjusting the thread length and needle size. It is suitable for making casual jackets, sportswear, outdoor clothing, etc.

Small jacquard fabrics make relevant adjustments in the organizational structure of ordinary knitted fabrics, so that the woven fabrics appear in small pieces of various shapes. These small-shaped patterns and patterns are the jacquard patterns that the designer needs.

There are a lot of other wefts knit fabric qualities, such as burnout fabric, yarn dyed fabric, print, foil, etc.

Because of the unique comfort and heat preservation of long-staple cotton fabrics, it is deeply loved and sought after by consumers all over the world. The long-staple cotton fabric has excellent drape, silk-like smoothness and comfort. The long-staple cotton fabric also has high color fastness during use, long-term washing and no fading, abrasion resistance and durability, good wrinkle resistance, not easy to pilling, and breathable Many advantages such as good dehumidification.

Long-staple cotton is named after its longer fiber, and is also called island cotton. It is a cultivated cotton species belonging to the genus Malvaceae.

Features: Excellent quality, soft and long fiber, which is hailed as “the best quality in cotton” by the world.

Uses: Long-staple cotton is the key material for spinning high-count yarns. High-end yarn-dyed, home textiles and other domestic top products and export high-value-added textiles and garments all require the use of long-staple cotton as the main raw material.

CVC fabric (chief value of cotton) is a fabric with only two components, polyester and cotton, when the cotton content is equal to or more than 50%. Has good abrasion resistance and wrinkle resistance.

It has good abrasion resistance and wrinkle resistance, but because the polyester fiber is a hydrophobic fiber, it has a strong affinity for oil stains and is easy to absorb oil stains. It is also easy to generate static electricity during wearing and attract dust. It is difficult to wash. The advantage is that the finished product is not Easy to deform, especially in the case of machine washing.

Organic cotton is a kind of pure natural and pollution-free cotton. In agricultural production, organic fertilizer, biological control of pests and diseases, and natural farming management are the main methods. Chemical products are not allowed, and pollution-free during the production and spinning process is also required; it is ecological , Green and environmentally friendly; the fabric made of organic cotton has bright luster, soft feel, excellent resilience, drape, and abrasion resistance; has unique antibacterial and deodorant properties; relieves allergic symptoms and relieves normal fabrics Skin discomfort symptoms, such as rash; it is more conducive to caring for children’s skin care; summer use makes people feel particularly cool. It is fluffy and comfortable to use in winter and can remove excess heat and moisture from the body.

“Polyester cotton” and “cotton polyester”, the order of the two words is changed into two different fabrics. “Polyester-cotton” fabric means that the composition of polyester is more than 60%, and the composition of cotton is less than 40%, also called TC; “cotton polyester” is just the opposite, which means that the composition of cotton is more than 60%, and the composition of polyester is 40%. Hereafter, it is also called CVC.

• Advantage

It not only highlights the style of polyester but also has the advantages of cotton fabrics. It has good elasticity and abrasion resistance in dry and wet conditions, stable dimensions, low shrinkage, and has the characteristics of being tall and straight, not easy to wrinkle, easy to wash, and quick-drying.

• Disadvantage

The polyester fiber in polyester-cotton is a hydrophobic fiber. It has a strong affinity for oil stains and is easy to absorb oil stains. It is also easy to generate static electricity during wearing and attract dust. It is difficult to wash, and it cannot be ironed with high temperature and soaked in boiling water.

Viscose fiber is a cellulose fiber. It is produced with natural fibers (wood fibers, cotton linters) as raw materials.

Ordinary viscose fiber has good hygroscopicity, is easy to dye, is not easy to generate static electricity, and has good spinnability. The short fiber can be spun purely or blended with other textile fibers. The fabric is soft, smooth, good in air permeability, comfortable to wear, bright in color after dyeing, and good in color fastness. It is suitable for making underwear, outerwear and various decorative articles. Filament fabrics are light and thin, and can be used as clothing materials to weave quilts and decorative fabrics. The disadvantages of this type of viscose fiber are poor fastness, low wet modulus, high shrinkage rate and easy deformation, poor elasticity and wear resistance.

Nylon is a higher-quality chemical textile fiber. Nylon fabric is also commonly referred to as nylon. It is mostly used for sports T-shirts or functional T-shirts.

Polyamide is mainly used for synthetic fibers. Its most outstanding advantage is that its abrasion resistance is higher than all other fibers, 10 times higher than cotton, 20 times higher than wool, and a little polyamide fiber is added to the blended fabric. Greatly improve its wear resistance; when stretched to 3-6%, the elastic recovery rate can reach 100%; it can withstand tens of thousands of times of bending without breaking.

The strength of polyamide fiber is 1-2 times higher than cotton, 4-5 times higher than wool, and 3 times stronger than viscose fiber. However, polyamide fiber has poor heat resistance and light resistance, and poor retention. The clothes made of polyamide are not as firm as polyester. In addition, nylon-66 and nylon-6 used for clothing have the disadvantages of poor hygroscopicity and dyeability. For this reason, new varieties of polyamide fibers-nylon-3 and nylon-4 new polyamide fibers have been developed. Light weight, excellent wrinkle resistance, good air permeability, good durability, dyeability and heat setting characteristics, so it is considered to be very promising.

Modal fiber is a kind of cellulosic fiber, which belongs to the same cellulosic fiber as man-made cotton, and is pure man-made fiber. It is made from wood pulp from shrubs produced in Europe and then through a special spinning process. Modal products are mostly used for their own good softness and excellent hygroscopicity but poor fabric stiffness. Production of underwear. Mostly used in fashion t-shirt.

Due to its good hygroscopicity, fast moisture conduction, and relatively small diameter, it is one of the main fiber raw materials for spring and summer clothes. Usually, the cloth woven from flax fibres is called flax fabric.

Linen fabric has the functions of temperature regulation, anti-allergic, anti-static and anti-bacterial. Because linen has good moisture absorption and can absorb water equivalent to 20 times its own weight, linen fabric feels dry and dry. Nowadays, anti-wrinkle, non-iron linen products. The birth and the emergence of blended products have further expanded the flax product market. Internationally, the weaving of linen is mostly projectile looms and rapier looms. Products include delicate and elegant linen handkerchiefs, shirting materials, crepes, fancy yarn products, sportswear, and linen and wool blended products.

Price/cost go from low too high for different colour effect technical of t-shirt fabrics

The characteristic of pure cotton fabric is that it feels good, comfortable and environmentally friendly to wear, but it is easy to wrinkle. Adding a small amount of spandex/Lycra yarn can significantly change the physical properties of the fabric, greatly increase the elasticity of the fabric, while maintaining the texture and comfort of pure cotton.

In addition, the neckline and cuffs are generally made of elastic fabrics with spandex or Lycra. Ordinary spandex rib fabrics are 1X1, 2X2, etc. The cuff collars of POLO T-shirts are generally made of flat knitting collars. Most of the flat knitting collars are added Spandex and other elastic yarns are in the weaving process. Adding spandex to the neckline can prevent the neckline from becoming loose and deformed and maintain the lasting elasticity of the neckline.

Color of various of t-shirt fabrics, color technical of different types of knit fabrics

• Solid dye
• Tie dye knit fabric
• Print
• Yarn dyed
• Brun out knit fabric

T-shirt cotton yarn can be divided into carded and combed yarn.

Carded yarn: refers to the yarn spun by the carded spinning process, also called uncombed yarn.

Combed yarn: refers to the yarn produced by using high-quality cotton fiber as the raw material and adding a combing process to that of carded yarn during spinning. The surface of the fabric is relatively neat, and the hand feels very soft.

The GSM (square gram weight of the fabric), what is the gram weight?

GSM means gram per square meter, means the fabric weight, that is generally used to indicate the thickness of the fabric, the greater the weight, the thicker the clothes. The weight of a T-shirt is generally between 160GSM and 220 GSM. Too thin will be very transparent, and too thick will be stuffy. Generally, it is better to choose between 180-280 GSM. (Short-sleeved T-shirts are generally based on 180-220 GSM. This thickness is just right. Long-sleeved T-shirts generally choose 260 GSM of fabric, which is a thicker type).

The sliver or roving fiber sliver after being drafted is introduced through the ring traveller rotation, the bobbin winding speed is faster than the traveller, and the cotton yarn is twisted to make a spun yarn. The ring spinning is relatively tight, while the air spinning is relatively fluffy and style Rough, suitable for denim fabrics, air-spun yarns are generally thicker.

The sliver or roving fiber sliver after being drafted is introduced through the rotation of the ring traveler, the bobbin winding speed is faster than the traveler, and the cotton yarn is twisted to make a spun yarn. It is widely used in various short fiber spinning projects. Rupu Combing, combing and blending, the traveler is driven by the bobbin through the yarn to rotate around the ring. At the same time, the friction of the ring makes the speed slightly lower than the bobbin to get the winding. High spinning speed, ring-spun yarn The shape of the fiber is a conical spiral with mostly internal and external transfer, which makes the fiber entangled and connected in the yarn. The structure of the yarn is tight and the strength is high. It is suitable for various products such as thread making, weaving and knitting.

Definition: The number of length yards of cotton yarn with a nominal weight of one pound.

Coarse count yarn: pure cotton yarn with 18’S counts or less, mainly used for weaving thick fabrics or piled looped cotton fabrics.

Middle count yarn: 19-29’S count pure cotton yarn. Mainly used for knitted garments with general requirements.

Fine yarn: pure cotton yarn with 30-60’S counts. Mainly used for high-grade knitted cotton fabrics.

The higher the number, the softer the T-shirts are generally 21’S and 40’S.
