T-shirt fabric knowledge that clothing people must understand

1. What is the weight

The grammage input here is generally used to indicate the thickness of the fabric. The greater the grammage, the thicker the clothing. T-shirt weight is generally between 160 grams and 220 grams, too thin will be very transparent, too thick will be sultry, generally choose between 180-280 grams weight. (Short sleeves are generally dominated by 180-220 grams. This thickness is just right. Long-sleeved T-shirts generally choose 260 grams of fabric, which is a thick type.

2. What is the count?

Enter the definition here: the length of the cotton yarn with a nominal weight of one pound. Coarse count yarn: 18 counts or less of pure cotton yarn, mainly used for weaving thick fabric or piled cotton fabric. Middle count yarn: 19-29 count pure cotton yarn. Mainly used for knitted garments with general requirements. Fine count yarn: 30-60 count pure cotton yarn. Mainly used for high-grade needle cotton fabrics. The higher the count, the softer the T-shirts are generally 21 and 32.

3. What is combing?

T-shirt cotton yarn input here can be divided into carded and combed yarns. Carded yarn: refers to the yarn spun by the carded spinning process, also known as uncombed yarn. Combed yarn: refers to the yarn produced by using high-quality cotton fiber as the raw material and adding the combing process to the carded yarn during spinning. The surface of the fabric is relatively neat and the feel is very soft.

4. What are the processes of T-shirt printing?

The T-shirt printing entered here is basically divided into screen printing and transfer printing. Screen printing: The technology is relatively complicated, mainly including design, film printing, printing, printing and drying. The advantages of screen printing are high color fastness, long-lasting and washable. The cost of screen printing plate making is high, so mass production is needed to reduce costs, and it cannot meet the printing of single pieces or very small batches. Transfer printing: also known as heat transfer. The advantage is bright color and simple technology. The disadvantage is the poor durability of the pattern, not resistant to wear and wash.

5. What is singeing treatment?

The characteristic of the input singeing treatment here is to remove the fluff formed by the untwisted fibers and protruding fibers on the surface of the yarn, so that the fabric is smoother and more beautiful, and the fabric color is uniform, and it can print clear and fine patterns.

6. What are the advantages of pure cotton fabrics? Why join spandex?

The characteristics of the imported cotton fabric here are good hand feel, comfortable and environmentally friendly to wear, but easy to wrinkle. Adding a small amount of spandex yarn can significantly change the physical properties of the fabric, greatly increase the elasticity of the fabric, while maintaining the texture and comfort of pure cotton. In addition, adding spandex to the neckline can prevent the neckline from loosening and deforming, and maintain the lasting elasticity of the neckline.

How many types of T-shirt fabrics are there? Let’s talk about them as follows:

1. Ordinary cotton fabric

Casual T-shirts are mostly made of ordinary cotton fabrics. T-shirts of this fabric are comfortable to wear, but slightly less crisp. Easy to wrinkle, easy to deform after launching.

2. The mercerized cotton fabric is made of ordinary cotton fabric, and the T-shirt of this fabric is comfortable to wear

Mercerized cotton fabrics are made of high-woven yarns by worsted spinning using cotton as raw materials, and then undergo special processing procedures such as singeing and mercerizing to produce smooth, bright, soft and wrinkle-resistant high-quality mercerized yarns. The high-quality knitted fabric made of this raw material not only completely retains the excellent natural characteristics of raw cotton, but also has silky gloss, the fabric feels soft, hygroscopic and breathable, and has good elasticity and drape; coupled with rich colors, it is comfortable to wear And casual, fully reflects the temperament and taste of the wearer.

3. Pure cotton double mercerized fabric

Pure cotton double mercerized fabrics are "double-sintered and double-spun" pure cotton products. They use mercerized yarns made by singeing and mercerizing as raw materials, and use CAD computer-aided design system and CAM computer-aided production system to quickly weave designs After singing the grey fabric again and mercerizing, the high-end knitted fabric is produced with a clear texture, novel pattern, bright luster, and smooth feel, which is better than mercerized cotton. First place, but due to two mercerizing, the price is slightly more expensive.

4. Super high count pure cotton fabric

This kind of fabric is rarely used by companies because its price is very expensive. The price of 120-count cotton T-shirt fabric is as high as 170 yuan per kilogram, while the price of 200-count cotton T-shirt fabric is even higher, reaching more than 3,000 One kilogram, and the 250-thread count cotton T-shirt fabric requires 1800 pounds, and China has not yet produced this fabric.

Commonly used fabrics for making T-shirts and cultural shirts

Pure cotton jersey, single-sided polyester cotton and double-sided and pure cotton, polyester cotton hexagonal, four corner mesh, herringbone pattern, composite ribbing, strip mesh, etc. Not easy to deform, but wearing comfort is slightly worse than pure cotton.

The characteristics of common polyester-cotton fabrics: soft and thick hand feeling, not easy to deform after washing, but the wearing comfort is slightly worse than pure cotton. The common polyester cotton is 80% cotton, 20% polyester or 65% cotton, 35% polyester ratio.

The characteristics of pure cotton fabrics: good hand feel, comfortable and environmentally friendly wearing, the gram weight is generally between 160 grams and 300 grams, too thin will be very transparent, too thick will be sultry, generally choose between 180-260 grams weight, count Generally, it is 21 counts and 32 counts, which refers to the average number of cotton fiber lengths, the higher the softer, and the veil is divided into ordinary yarn, semi-finished yarn and refined yarn, the surface of the ordinary yarn fabric will be rough, especially dark The fabric will have white yarn points. The surface of the fine yarn fabric is relatively neat, and the feel is also very soft.

2. Washing knowledge of various T-shirts

Printed T-shirt

1. The printing position cannot be pulled, rubbed or twisted.

2. The printing position cannot be ironed to prevent the printing from falling off.

3. The elasticity of the ribbed cloth is good, and the printing position is prone to fall off when it is pulled too much.

Elastic T-shirt

1. The elastic fabric cannot be ironed at high temperature to prevent damage to the elasticity of the fabric

2. Do not drift, it will damage the elasticity of the fabric

3. Some elastic fabrics are woven with core-spun yarns, the yarns are more fluffy and the fabrics are more fluffy. Be careful not to overweight during washing to prevent excessive fluff

4. Do not expose to the sun to prevent damage to the elasticity of the fabric

Lightweight cotton T-shirt

1. Do not overweight during washing, do not wash with other thick clothes to prevent deformation, excessive hair raising and being scratched or scratched, it is best to wash separately

2. Lightweight fabrics are relatively rare, and the elasticity of the fabrics is low. When wearing Nissan, pay attention to prevent the hooks from hard objects, causing holes

3. The thin and light fabric is easy to deform, so please don't pull too much when wearing

T-shirts in other fabrics

1. The jacquard fabric is loose in structure and has a long floating line on the reverse side of the fabric, so try not to wash it with other thick clothes and zippers to prevent hooks and scratches on the fabric. Because the floating line is on the reverse side, this type of clothing Don't wash it from the back

2. Viscose knitted fabrics (such as Modal-Women's clothing are more) have soft touch, lighter and thinner. These fabrics have low wet strength and are prone to fibrillation and fluff in water, so they can only be gently machine washed and not overweight.
