Cotton and hemp blended fabrics have the characteristics of cotton and hemp at the same time. Let's have a brief understanding of cotton and hemp.

Advantages and disadvantages of cotton and linen fabrics

Advantage

① Breathable and dry. Because flax has five times the heat dissipation of wool and 19 times the heat dissipation of silk, wearing flax clothing can reduce the skin surface temperature by 3-4 ℃ compared with wearing silk and cotton clothing in hot weather. And linen can absorb 20% of the weight of the water, but also quickly release the absorbed water, the sweat can keep you dry.

② Reduce sweating. Cotton and linen clothing helps to maintain the body's electrolyte balance.

③ Radiation protection. Modern people's life is inseparable from computers and mobile phones. Radiation pollution is an inevitable problem for modern people. Japanese research shows that clothing fabric can prevent 80% radiation by adding 20% linen.

④ Antistatic. Only 10% flax in the blended fabric is enough to prevent static electricity.

⑤ Inhibit bacteria. Because flax has a good effect of inhibiting bacteria and fungi, long-term wearing cotton and flax can effectively prevent some diseases.

shortcoming

① No wrinkle resistance. Pure natural things are less wrinkle resistant, which is a relatively obvious disadvantage. Of course, it is undeniable that random folds are just the temperament of cotton and hemp. Although cotton and linen are easy to wrinkle, but in fact, it's better to take care of them. As long as you spray some moisture on the part, because linen has a good sense of draping, and the clothes will be smooth when they are dry.

② For the first time, it's a little prickly. Compared with other fabrics, cotton and hemp will be stronger, which is caused by multiple dyeing processes. As long as you patiently accept the first touch, with the increase of washing times, they will be more and more close to the requirements of the skin, becoming soft and elegant.

③ The fabric feels rough. High quality cotton and hemp fabric, without washing for many times, its touch will be rough, after washing for several times, it will become smooth.

④ Cotton and hemp dyeing tone is dark, belonging to dark color system. The effect of dyeing linen is different from that of other dyed fabrics, and its luster and saturation are relatively dim.

How to distinguish cotton and linen fabrics

The most simple way to identify the composition of clothing fabric is combustion, cotton and linen fabric is no exception. The method is to take a strand of cloth containing warp and weft yarn at the seam edge of the clothing or fabric, light it with fire, observe the state of the burning flame, smell the smell of the cloth yarn after burning, and see the residue after burning, so as to judge whether it is consistent with the fabric composition marked on the durability label of the clothing, so as to identify the authenticity of the fabric composition. Because cotton and hemp are blended, they also have the characteristics of cotton and hemp. Cotton fiber and hemp fiber are just close to the flame, and burn quickly, the flame is yellow, generally there is no caking phenomenon, pressing with hand will become powder.

Generally, cotton hemp interweaved fabric is mainly cotton warp and hemp weft interweaved fabric, so its texture will be relatively firm, with a better sense of draping, and its hand feel will be softer than that of pure hemp fabric, which will feel relatively smooth, and the delicate cotton hemp fabric will feel cooler, and the hemp fabric with more hemp components will feel a little rough.

How to distinguish the quality of cotton and linen cloth

Density

This is the most intuitive and can be directly identified by ordinary consumers. Take two pieces of cotton and hemp fabrics. Good cotton and hemp fabrics are densely woven with high fastness and are not easy to deform.

The shrinkage of cotton and linen cloth with high hemp content is less than 3%, and that of cotton and linen with poor hemp content is slightly higher. This one hasn't been practiced, but there is absolutely no problem with the ancient cloud. You can try it if you are interested.

Color and lustre

In addition to the primary color of plain linen fabric does not need pigment, other fabrics need dyeing to give us a colorful choice, so the quality of dye is directly related to our body and the durability of our clothes. It is easy to whiten after washing with inferior dyes for many times. Good cotton and linen fabrics have high dye durability.

Varieties

Not all hemp materials are the same, so the prices vary greatly. With the development of technology and demand, some hemps contain viscose or polyester. This kind of hemp is more suitable for pants with elastic body, although its air permeability is poor. It contains more flax ingredients, less cotton, high fiber content, comfortable hand feeling, so it has no stimulation to skin, good permeability, and the clothes made have texture.
