Who can introduce the characteristics of common bedding in detail?

When many customers buy bedding, they know little about the professional knowledge of bedding, and they are also at a loss when faced with various technical terms, and some customers even have some misunderstandings. In view of this, I have carefully arranged some bedding knowledge for your reference and study, hoping to help you!

Let me briefly summarize and give you some ideas. You can read this article along the following lines.

Bedding is made of cloth, not yarn, so spinning comes first. Yarn count belongs to the category of "spinning". Yarn count is the most basic unit of finished cloth, which indicates the number of yarns that a certain amount of cotton can weave. The higher the count, the higher the quality of cotton, and the thinner and softer the cloth.

After the yarn is spun, it is woven. Density and yarn count belong to the category of "weaving". Density refers to the number of yarns in a certain area in two directions (that is, the longitude and latitude direction, the north-south direction and the east-west direction). Density represents the quantity of materials used in cloth and is the most important index to describe the quality of cloth. The same yarn count, the higher the density, the denser the fabric and the heavier the weight!

The yarn count is divided into plain weave, twill weave and satin weave, and the grades are increasing in turn.

When the cloth is woven, beautiful patterns will be formed on it. There are several kinds of patterns on cloth: printing, embroidery and jacquard, and the grades are increasing in turn, among which jacquard is produced in the process of "weaving"

Next, this paper also introduces the analysis of shrinkage rate and shrinkage reasons, the collocation of bedding, the concepts of sheets, hats, bedspreads and bedspreads, and the matters needing attention in washing bedding.

1. What is the yarn count?

Explanation 1: Let's talk about counting, which is what we often see: 30, 40, 60, etc! For example, 30 yuan is also called 30S by friends, which is the same, and there is no difference! So what exactly is counting? I understand it this way: the count is the standard of yarn thickness. For example, one or two cotton can be made into 30 yarns 1 m, that is, 30 yarns, while one or two cotton can be made into 40 yarns 1 m, that is, 40 yarns; 1 cotton can be made into 60 yarns with a length of 1 m, that is, 60 yarns. In fact, the higher the yarn count, the thinner the yarn and the softer and more comfortable the cloth is. However, high count fabrics require high quality of raw materials (cotton) and high requirements for yarn mills and textile mills, so the cost of fabrics is relatively high.

Explanation 2:

Yarn (editor's note: this refers to the count mentioned above): the smaller the number, the thicker it is, and the larger the number, the thinner it is: 16S, 30S, 40S, 60S. General clothing 60-80, bedding 30-60.

Explanation 3:

Yarn count is the most basic unit of finished cloth, and the number of yarn counts is inversely proportional to its thickness. The larger the quantity, the thinner it is, and the higher the quality requirements for raw materials (cotton) are. The yarn count of bedding fabric is generally divided into 2 1, 30, 40, 60 and 80 according to its thickness, which is relatively rare. Most common bedding products on the market are 40 yuan. General twill 40 printed bedding 4-piece set according to the pattern style, the market price is between 300-500 yuan!

There is also a special kind of cloth, which is made of different yarns. For example, some satin fabrics have 60 warp yarns and 40 weft yarns. For this kind of cloth, it can be said to be sixty or forty. If a piece of cloth is made of cotton yarn with the same thickness, it can be directly said as 30 or 40.

Is the higher the number, the better Of course, counting is a key index to evaluate the quality of bedding, but it is not absolute! In fact, the higher the yarn count, the thinner the yarn, and the thinner the fabric made of this yarn, the softer and more comfortable the fabric is. For example, many bedding sellers say that their fabrics are 120, so buyers should be cautious. For bedding, 80 is rare, let alone 120, because 120 is very thin, and the fabric that is too thin may not be suitable for bedding at all. At this time, it is necessary to guard against the suspicion that the seller has stolen the concept. Maybe what he said.

Second, what is density (editor's note: refers to latitude and longitude density)

Explanation 1: Let me talk about the density of cloth again. This is the data that people don't pay much attention to, but it is the most important! In the industry, cloth basically does not count. They only talk about * * multiplied by * * (for example, 1 10*90, 128*68, 65*78, 133*72) because there are few choices for count. It can be said that 60S fabric is not suitable for bedding, because it is too thin! There are few factories in China that can make 80 pieces of cloth. Don't think that if 80 pieces of cloth are missing, it will be expensive. I haven't seen it, but I've heard of it. As far as I know, it's made in China. Not yet, 80 pieces of bedding are all out!

Explanation 2:

Density of warp and weft: How many yarns are there in one inch (2.54 square centimeters) vertically and horizontally? Commonly used are 30S yarn 68*68, 30S yarn 78*65, 40S yarn1/kloc-0 * 90, 40S yarn 1 10*80 and 40S yarn 90*90.

Carding: The total stalk over 29mm is uniform, smooth and smooth.

Carding: stems are large, small and uneven (thin, thick and thick).

Pure cotton fabric:

Twill cotton: the density is133 * 72,40 * 40.

Plain cotton: the density is 76 * 68,30 * 30,100 * 90,40 * 40.

Explanation 3:

The warp and weft density refers to the number of warp and weft yarns arranged per square inch. For example, the common "40×40/ 128×68" means that there are 40 warp yarns and 40 weft yarns, and the warp and weft density is 128×68, which is also an important technical index for bedding purchase, because there are few fabrics to choose from, only 30 and 40. But remember, a high count can be a high density. It would be ridiculous if only 20 counts were called high density.

Special reminder

Several misunderstandings

Myth 1: The more you count, the better. The higher the count, the thicker the cloth. The higher the count, the denser the cloth! My opinion: not necessarily, the same density is good for high count, but it is impossible to make bedding more than 60 s. The higher the density, the denser the cloth; The lower the count, the thicker the yarn and the thicker the cloth!

Myth 2: the cloth of thirty or forty is very poor. My opinion: no, it can be said that it is the bedding we see now. Yes, 30, 40, and more, 20 (thick cloth), 60; Embroidery and printing are both 30 and 40, 60 pieces are only jacquard and satin strips, and jacquard is relatively rare.

Myth 3: Over-trust what technical data! Pursuit of high support and high density! My opinion: people may say, 60, I can say, 80. Who wouldn't? The network has a virtual side. What can you see from the picture without looking at the real thing?

Third, the weaving of textile fabrics.

Explanation 1:

Plain weave fabric: every other warp and weft are interwoven, and the interwoven points are densely arranged, and there is no difference between the front and back, so the plain weave fabric has a dense structure and a firm texture, but it feels hard.

Twill fabric: it is a twill weave fabric with obvious diagonal lines, good feel, luster and elasticity.

Satin strength: the warp or weft of satin fabric forms some independent and unconnected warp or weft knitting points in the fabric. The cloth surface is almost completely covered by warp or weft, and the surface seems to have diagonal lines, but unlike twill, it has less warp and weft interweaving, smooth and bright appearance and soft texture.

Explanation 2:

1. Plain weave: The fabric woven with plain weave (warp and weft interweave every other yarn) is called plain weave.

Features: many interweaving points, firm texture, smooth surface and consistent appearance on both sides. The density of this weave fabric should not be too high, and the lighter it is, the better the wear resistance and breathability are.

2. Twill fabric interweaves warp or weft at least once every two yarns, and the weave structure of the fabric is changed by increasing the interweaving points of warp and weft, which is collectively called twill fabric.

Features: a. There are positive and negative points; B, the interweaving point in a complete knitting cycle is small, and the floating thread is long; C. it feels soft; D. The fabric density is higher and the product is thicker; The cost of this woven product is higher than that of similar plain weave products.

3. Satin fabric The warp and weft of satin fabric are interwoven at least once every three, so this kind of weave makes the fabric denser and thicker. This woven product is more expensive than similar twill woven products. Fabrics woven with satin weave are collectively called satin fabrics.

Features: a. There are positive and negative points; B. In a complete weave cycle, there are the least interweaving points and the longest floating lines, and the fabric surface is almost entirely composed of floating lines in warp or weft; C. the texture is soft, and the cloth surface is smooth and shiny.

Explanation 3:

What are the differences, advantages and disadvantages of twill and plain weave?

A fabric woven with plain weave (warp and weft interweave every other yarn) is called plain weave.

Features: many interweaving points, solid texture, smooth and flat, and consistent appearance on both sides. Plain fabrics should not be too dense, light and thin, and have good wear resistance.

The so-called twill fabric means that at least two warp yarns and two weft yarns are interwoven into a complete weave, each warp yarn and weft yarn can only have one warp knitting point, and the fabric surface is composed of continuous knitting points. Twill weave is the appearance effect of twill on the surface of fabric composed of warp float or weft float. Twill fabric has fewer interweaving times between warp and weft than plain fabric, which makes the gap between warp and weft smaller and the yarn arrangement denser, so the fabric is denser and thicker. Therefore, twill fabrics have obvious diagonal lines, soft hand feel and strong three-dimensional sense, and have better luster and elasticity than plain fabrics. However, due to the long float line, the wear resistance and fastness of twill fabric are not as good as plain fabric under the same warp and weft density. For example, ordinary hotels and baby bedding are not suitable for twill fabrics, because bedding needs very frequent washing and has high wear resistance requirements!

What is satin cloth?

Warp and weft are interwoven at least once every three yarns, so the satin weave makes the fabric denser, so the fabric is thicker. The cost of satin weave products is higher than that of similar plain weave and twill weave products. Fabrics woven with satin weave are collectively called satin fabrics. Satin fabric can be divided into two sides, and there are the least interweaving points and the longest floating lines in a complete weave cycle. The surface of the fabric is almost entirely composed of floating lines in the warp or weft direction, and the satin fabric is soft in texture. The surface of the cloth is smooth and delicate, and it is rich in the unique luster of the fabric.

Fourthly, the shrinkage rate of fabric.

Explanation 1:

The shrinkage of fabric refers to the shrinkage of fabric after washing or soaking. Generally speaking, the fabrics with the largest shrinkage rate are synthetic fibers and their blended fabrics, followed by wool fabrics and linen fabrics, cotton fabrics are in the middle and shrink greatly, and viscose fibers, artificial cotton and artificial wool fabrics have the largest shrinkage rates.

Factors leading to fabric shrinkage:

1. Different raw materials of fabrics have different shrinkage rates. Generally speaking, fibers with strong hygroscopicity will expand, increase in diameter, shorten in length and have a large shrinkage rate after being soaked in water. If the water absorption of some viscose fibers is as high as 13%, and the hygroscopicity of synthetic fiber fabrics is poor, its shrinkage rate will be water.

2. Fabrics with different densities have different shrinkage rates. If the density of warp and weft is close, the shrinkage rates of warp and weft are also close. Fabrics with high warp density will shrink in the warp direction; On the contrary, fabrics with high weft density will shrink in the weft direction.

3. The shrinkage is different with different yarn counts. The shrinkage of fabric with thick yarn count is large, while that of fabric with thin yarn count is small.

4. Different fabric production processes have different shrinkage rates. Generally speaking, in the process of weaving, dyeing and finishing, the fiber needs to be stretched many times. If the processing time is long, the shrinkage of the fabric with greater tension will be large, and vice versa.

Explanation 2:

What is contraction?

The shrinkage of fabric refers to the shrinkage of fabric after washing or soaking. Generally speaking, the fabrics with the largest shrinkage rate are synthetic fibers and their blended fabrics, followed by wool fabrics, linen fabrics and cotton fabrics. Objectively speaking, all cotton fabrics have the problem of shrinking and fading, and the key is finishing. Therefore, the fabrics of general home textiles have been pre-shrunk. However, pre-shrinkage does not mean that it will not shrink, but the shrinkage rate is controlled within 3%-4% of the national standard, so that products can be purchased with confidence.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) updates the structure

In terms of fabrics, the previous bedding was pure cotton, polyester cotton and so on. But now there are yarn-dyed pure cotton, satin, silk, silk-cotton blended fabrics, cotton and linen and other high-grade fabrics. Single polyester-cotton has been eliminated, and silk-cotton blended fabrics, cotton and linen, yarn-dyed cotton and satin cotton have gradually occupied the market and become the first choice for young people and white-collar workers.

6. Flower production technology

In the process of making flowers, there are three common patterns: printing, embroidery and jacquard. Reactive printing is often heard in the market now, so what is reactive printing and what are its advantages?

Reactive printing is relative to pigment printing. Among them, reactive dyeing refers to the combination of active genes of dyes and fiber molecules in the process of printing and dyeing, so that dyes and fibers form a whole. The fabric has excellent dustproof performance, high cleanliness and high color fastness. Of course, the cost is much higher than that of pigment printing and dyeing. In other words, printing dyes are reactive dyes. Generally, sodium alginate with high viscosity is selected as paste flow (less denaturation, less bleeding, which can better maintain the original pattern), and double-activity M-type reactive dyes (good fixation rate and lifting power, which can also reduce the selling prescription during soaping /9L- reactive dye x* element 1-2x dye-proof salt S 10) are used. Compared with pigment printing, reactive printing has many advantages, such as good air permeability, excellent fastness and soft touch, but there are also some problems such as complex printing process, long process and difficult processing.

The traditional printing and dyeing process is mainly based on "barrel printing", that is, only one symbol can be printed on one layer, such as a flower printed on a bed sheet, a petal printed on the first layer, a petal printed on the second layer, and finally a green leaf printed, just like rolling and printing a complete pattern over and over again. "Big bowl printing" is like bronzing. When a "big bowl" is covered, the complete pattern comes out. "It is not only fast, but also beautiful. The printed patterns are colorful, and the corresponding requirements for yarn count are also very high. Without high density and not very fine yarn, it is impossible to use.

Embroidery is easy to understand. Needless to say, what is the concept of jacquard?

Jacquard refers to the pattern on the fabric, which is woven with yarns of different colors. Compared with embroidered fabrics, jacquard has higher construction cost, dark lines with concave-convex texture like watermark, softer and more delicate texture, better gloss, better hand feel, better air permeability and noble style, which is the first choice for many model rooms to choose bedding!
