Is cotton fabric better or combed cotton fabric?

 

Is cotton fabric better or combed cotton fabric? Combing is relative to carding. Before cotton linter is spun into yarn, there is a carding process, which is divided into carding and combing. Combing is to remove the impurities and short fibers in the carded cotton fiber, which improves the strength and texture.

Therefore, the fabric of combed cotton yarn is more durable than the fabric of carded cotton yarn, but the cost is also higher. For some fabrics, considering the cost and fabric style, carded cotton yarn will be more suitable. In general, of course the combing is good.

The characteristics and benefits of all-cotton fabrics are mainly that the cotton fibers contained in all-cotton fabrics have relatively good moisture absorption. Under normal circumstances, the cotton fibers of all-cotton fabrics can absorb moisture into the surrounding atmosphere, and its moisture content is 8 -10%, this ensures that our cotton products will feel soft and comfortable when they touch the skin, without the dryness and stiffness. At the same time, because cotton fiber is a poor conductor of heat and electricity, and the full cotton fiber itself has the advantages of high elasticity and porosity, a large amount of air can accumulate between the fibers, and air is a poor conductor of heat and electricity, which makes cotton Fiber textiles have good moisture retention and also bring more warmth and comfort to people.

The combed cotton cloth is dense, soft and firm. It is suggested that two methods of "watching" and "touching" can be used to distinguish ordinary cotton from combed cotton. The former method is to put a single layer of cotton cloth on the hand and illuminate it with light to see through. The combed cotton is very tight, and no hand shadow can be seen after the light is transmitted; on the contrary, the ordinary cotton cloth is not high enough because the number of weaves is not high, and the contour of the hand It will be faintly visible. As for distinguishing by touch, it is to actually feel the texture of cotton cloth whether it is soft and firm.
