Textile Basics: A Brief Introduction to Woven Fabrics

There are many methods for woven fabrics.

1. According to the fiber types constituting the woven fabric, it is divided into pure woven fabric, blended woven fabric and cross woven fabric.

Pure woven fabric - refers to the woven fabric of the same kind of fiber pure spinning yarn. The performance of this fabric mainly reflects the characteristics of the fiber. For example, the warp and weft yarns of the cotton fabric are all cotton yarns (wires) such as cotton khaki 21X21/108X58, and the warp and weft yarns of the viscose fiber fabric are viscose fiber yarns.

Blended fabrics - fabrics of yarns blended from two or more different types of fiber blends, such as cotton and linen blends, polyester/cotton blends, wool and polyester, etc., whose greatest feature is the fiber during the spinning process. Mix together (generally mix the fibers in the “opening process” of the spinning front).

Interwoven fabric - refers to fabrics woven from yarns or filaments of different fibers in the warp and weft direction, such as warp yarns with warp yarns and weft-bonded fabrics, and yarns with warp yarns in the warp direction. Interlaced fabrics, etc.

2. According to the fiber length and fineness of the woven fabric, it is divided into cotton fabric, medium long fabric, wool fabric and filament fabric.

Cotton fabric - cotton fiber length is about 30 mm, the yarn made of fiber of this length is cotton yarn (for blending with cotton fiber, chemical fiber is cut into this length - cotton type chemical fiber), use this The fabric composed of the yarns is a cotton fabric.

Wool fabrics - the length of wool is about 75 mm (the difference between different varieties is relatively large), the yarn made of fibers of this length is a wool yarn (in order to be blended with wool fibers, the chemical fiber is cut into this length - Wool-type chemical fiber), the fabric composed of such a yarn is a wool fabric.

Medium-length fabrics - fibers between the length of the cotton and the length of the wool, referred to as medium-length fibers, are made up of medium-long fiber yarns, and the fabrics made from such yarns are medium-length fabrics.

Filament-type fabrics - fabrics woven from filaments, such as rayon fabrics, polyester silk fabrics.

3. According to the structure of the woven fabric, it is divided into plain, twill, satin and other tissues.

4. According to the use of woven fabrics, it is divided into clothing, home textiles, industrial fabrics, etc.
