Characteristics And Differences Of Woolen And Worsted

In clothing fabrics, we often hear the word woolen fabric, which is widely used in various clothing production. But in fact, there are still many friends who do not understand what is woolen fabric. The following is for everyone to popularize some knowledge of woolen fabrics, so that everyone has a simple understanding of woolen fabrics.

What are woolen and worsted?

Woolen cashmere and worsted cashmere, in simple terms, are two kinds of yarns of different thickness in appearance formed by different technological processes in the process of spinning cashmere into yarn.

In the spinning process, there is a process called combing, and the yarn produced by this process is called combed yarn, the yarn produced without this process is called general combed yarn or coarse spun yarn. The combed yarn is better than the general combed yarn in all aspects of strength and dry.

What is the difference between woolen and worsted weaving effect?

The woolen fabric has a plump face and a dense texture. The surface has fine fluff, and the weave is generally not revealed. Feel warm, plump and elastic. The yarns are mostly thick single yarns.

The surface of worsted fabric is smooth, and the weave is fine and clear. Soft and natural luster, pure color. Feel soft and elastic. With the hand pinch the surface to loosen, the crease is not obvious, and can quickly return to the original state. The yarn is mostly double.

Analysis of worsted, semi-worsted and woolen spinning

The biggest difference between semi-worsted and traditional wool worsted and roving processes is that it integrates cotton spinning technology with wool spinning technology to form a new multi-component mixing process, which is preceded by roving and wool equipment plus cotton spinning card, drawing frame, roving frame and spinning frame; The back path is the spinning winder, parallel thread and double twisting equipment. The change of equipment and technology has solved the problem that the original wool spinning equipment cannot be solved.

Semi-worsted can realize the successful blending of natural raw materials such as cotton, wool, silk and linen with other new man-made fibers and chemical fibers. The raw materials of woolen semi-worsted include natural fibers such as cashmere, wool, spun silk, rabbit wool, cotton and ramie, artificial fibers such as soybean protein fiber, milk protein fiber, Tencel, model, bamboo fiber, viscose fiber and chemical fibers such as acrylic fiber, polyester fiber and nylon. The product structure is extremely rich.

Woolen is a spinning method of wool spinning. The spinning cashmere is a kind of coarse count, and the price is low, the wool yarn property is relatively poor, easy to pilling and deformation. The count of semi-worsted is about 28/2, and compared with coarse spinning, the price is higher and the nature is better. Worsted cashmere is the best, the count is more than 48/2, and the items made are soft and delicate. It is very comfortable and warm. But this kind of yarn is very expensive, commonly known as "soft gold in wool yarn".

There are two kinds of cashmere high-count yarn production lines in China: semi-worsted spinning and full-worsted spinning. The semi-worsted yarn can be spun below 16.67tex without combing to remove the short fiber, which can meet the needs of general thin and light fabrics, and the yarn rate is high and the cost is relatively low. Worsted spinning to remove the short fiber after combing, spinning count can reach 10tex, but the cost is high, and because of the strength of the yarn, often need to blend with other fibers, suitable for special thin fabrics. Therefore, the development and production of semi-worsted cashmere yarn has been paid more and more attention by the domestic and foreign cashmere yarn market.
