Mink down, also known as raccoon dog down, is a kind of precious special animal fiber. It is taken from ferret, a kind of valuable fur animal with long and thick fur and light and tough temperament. Raccoon dog hair is a new type of special spinning material developed in recent years. The warm clothing made with it has the characteristics of fadeless and pilling free, and has a good skin friendly feeling. It is very comfortable to wear.
Cashmere comes from the thin layer of cashmere at the root of goat hair, which is recognized as "soft gold" in the world at present. Its warmth and comfort are very good, and it is favored by consumers.
Mink wool fiber has similar characteristics with cashmere, and is more shiny and warm. The cross section of mink hair fiber is basically round or oval, and most of it has a middle cavity. Its cross section is mainly composed of three parts: the scale layer covering the outside of the hair, the cortex layer constituting the main part of the hair fiber body, and the medulla layer composed of opaque hair pulp in the center of the hair shaft. Although the sections of cashmere and camel hair are round or oval, there are few medullary cavities. The longitudinal scales of marten fibers are in the same direction, and the scales are thick, which are willow buds. The shape of cashmere scales is mainly circular, and the angle of warping is small; The edge of scales on the surface of camel hair is round and smooth. It can be seen that the longitudinal shape of mink wool is obviously different from that of cashmere and camel hair. The density of mink fiber is obviously lower than that of cashmere and camel hair. The larger the hair pulp cavity is, the more air is contained in the fiber pores, and the smaller the density is. Because most mink fibers have medullary layer, the density of the fibers is small, which makes mink fibers have good moisture absorption and warmth retention. Therefore, marten wool is superior to cashmere in heat preservation and moisture absorption.
The static friction coefficient of mink fiber is between camel hair and cashmere; The dynamic friction coefficient is less than cashmere and camel hair, but the friction effect of mink fiber is greater than cashmere and camel hair. The differential friction effect is a unique feature of wool fiber, that is, the friction coefficient of friction along the scale is smaller than that against the scale, which is the necessary condition for the felting of wool fiber. Therefore, mink wool fiber has better cashmere shrinkage than cashmere, and the fabric feels plump and fluffy. Therefore, the shrinkage must be controlled in the process of weaving water system.
Raccoon dog hair is popular this year, among which NM2/20 100% raccoon dog hair is the most popular. The long wool spinning process makes the raccoon dog hair fabric have a full wool feeling, and the comfort is incomparable, which is strongly recommended here.
