Friends who have heard of professional sports socks should know that there are great differences between professional sports socks and ordinary socks, and the most obvious point should be in the material of the two.
Ordinary socks are mostly made of a single type of yarn such as cotton and nylon, while professional sports socks are made of special yarn - polyester/cotton blended yarn, and the yarn of professional sports socks will also be subject to cash technical treatment in advance, such as moisture absorption and sweat elimination, antibacterial and deodorant technology. Some people may ask, what is the relationship between socks and yarn? How many people don't know that socks are made of yarn! Let's introduce the characteristics of the yarn of sports socks.
1. Cotton. The cotton fabric has a strong skin-friendly feeling and a certain degree of anti-sensitivity. Cotton has good moisture retention performance, which means that cotton socks absorb sweat but do not sweat, which is a disadvantage for socks made of cotton. Nonperspiration also means that it is easy to breed bacteria, which is not conducive to the environment of feet during sports.
2. Polyester, also known as polyester fiber. Polyester treated with advanced technology is generally used to make professional sports socks, which has good resilience, is not easy to deform, and is wear-resistant, heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant. However, polyester without technical treatment has the disadvantages of poor permeability and moisture absorption.
3. Nylon, also known as nylon. Nylon material is wear-resistant and corrosion resistant, with smooth surface and certain toughness, but its disadvantages are poor water absorption, heat resistance and anti-static property.
4. Wool. The biggest advantage of wool is that it is very warm, and also has good elasticity, moisture absorption, breathability. It also has a high gloss in appearance and is not easy to wrinkle, but its disadvantage is that people are more disgusted with shrinkage and pilling.
5. Acrylic fiber, also known as polyacrylonitrile. The advantages are light, heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant, and the disadvantages are poor moisture absorption and non-wear resistance.
6. Polyester cotton blended. Good elasticity, heat resistance and wear resistance, not easy to shrink and wrinkle, fast drying, smooth, soft and comfortable; However, the polyester/cotton blend without technical treatment is easy to absorb oil and dust.
After understanding the above, you know the close relationship between socks and yarn. High-quality yarn is the basis of good socks.
