Introduction Of Mercerized Cotton Fabric

What is mercerized cotton?

Mercerized cotton is a smooth, bright, soft and wrinkle-resistant high-quality fabric made from high-woven yarns through special processing procedures such as singeing and mercerizing. The high-quality knitted fabric made of this raw material perfectly retains the excellent natural characteristics of raw cotton, and has a silky luster, and the fabric feels soft.

According to different mercerized objects, mercerized cotton can generally be divided into yarn mercerized, fabric mercerized and double mercerized.
