Milk cotton is an old type of wool that has lasted for more than 10 years. It is hard to imagine that a textile product still has such a high position among users after more than 10 years.
What's more, a business has registered a trademark for "milk cotton" and a trademark for a variety, which is almost the same as that of an international famous company that has registered a patent for "rounded rectangle".
What is milk cotton?
Milk cotton is not "pure cotton", but a cotton blend product. Milk cotton is blended with cotton and acrylic fiber as the main components, which is also called "cotton nitrile".
Acrylic fiber is called "artificial wool". Such blending improves the warmth retention of cotton thread, and also increases the elasticity and fullness of the thread.
It should be known that one shrinks and the other expands when cotton and real wool meet water. The blending of cotton and wool is a big problem in the textile industry (make an advertisement: our "bud" cotton wool blended yarn is very difficult to process). It is much easier to blend artificial fibers with cotton.
Milk cotton is very popular because of its price and high cost performance. It is soft and warm, and can be used for weaving clothes, scarves, blankets, hats, and dolls. From the moment of R&D, it is doomed that this kind of wire will be popular.
People who have used milk cotton will have a feeling that it is "a little astringent", which is an obvious disadvantage of milk cotton, because of the expanded acrylic fiber composition inside.
After more than 10 years of continuous introduction of new wire rods, it seems that milk cotton is about to withdraw from the historical stage. The manufacturer began to adjust the ratio of cotton to nitrile to improve the characteristics of milk cotton, and the variety has also increased, including 4 strands of milk cotton, 5 strands of milk cotton, 6 strands of milk cotton, etc.
When this material is added to the blend, the milk cotton has seen an exciting improvement. We found that the surface of milk cotton is no longer rough, the fabric is no longer as "astringent" as before, and the skin affinity is further improved, which is more plump and warm than cotton thread.
