In order to find the key point better, we need to think in reverse: what do you think is affecting the characteristics of yarn?
1. What raw materials are used?
The raw materials commonly used in yarn design include wool, modal, cotton, linen, silk, viscose, cashmere, acrylic, polyester, cuprammonia, acetic acid, modified fiber, etc. Among the above raw materials, we will analyze the characteristics of several widely used raw materials:
A. Wool
Advantages: good bulkiness; Good ventilation; It has good thermal insulation, etc.
Disadvantages: relatively expensive; Not easy to manage; Easy to be eaten by insects, etc.
B. Cotton
Advantages: good water absorption; Soft and skin-friendly, no irritation to skin; Easy to wash.
Disadvantages: easy to fold; Good water absorption, but not easy to dry in case of water, which is not conducive to perspiration.
C. Acrylic fiber
Advantages: soft, good feel; Disadvantages: It is easy to fuzz and static electricity; Low grade.
D. Silk
Advantages: good gloss; Soft and skin-friendly, no irritation to skin, etc.
Disadvantages: It is not easy to take care of, easy to hook, easy to be eaten by insects, etc. The above are based on the general impression of "100% pure fiber". It is not difficult to see that any fiber raw material has its advantages, but also has its own disadvantages. One of the changing elements of yarn design is that the advantages of the main fiber can be retained as much as possible while covering the original disadvantages of the main fiber by adding other fibers with different proportions.
