It can be divided into primary color cotton, dyed cotton, printed cotton, and yarn-dyed cotton according to the dyeing method; it can also be divided into plain weave, twill, and forged cloth according to the fabric structure.
Primary color cotton
Cotton cloth with the color of natural cotton fiber without bleaching, printing and dyeing processing is called primary color cotton cloth. It can be subdivided into city cloth, coarse cloth and fine cloth according to the thickness of yarn count.
Their characteristics are: thick cloth body, smooth cloth surface, strong and durable, and large shrinkage rate. It can be used as quilt cloth, blank accessories or shirt clothing.
Poplin
Poplin is the main variety of cotton cloth, with silk style. Its texture is fine and shiny, the cloth body is soft and smooth, and it is crisp and comfortable to wear. It is woven with plain weave.
The structural characteristics of poplin are: the warp yarn density is about twice as high as the weft yarn density, the warp yarn exposed area on the cloth body is more than that of the weft yarn, and its convex parts form obvious diamond-shaped particles on the appearance of the cloth surface. In addition, the yarn count used is higher in quality. Therefore, the texture of the cloth surface is clear, the grain is full, and it is smooth and compact. But the poplin fabric has a big disadvantage, that is, the clothes sewn with it are prone to longitudinal cracks. This is because the poplin warp and weft density is too different, and the strength of the warp and weft is unbalanced, causing the warp strength to be nearly double the weft strength. the result of.
Wool blue cloth
Normal grey fabrics must be singed before dyeing to make the fabric surface smooth and smooth, but wool blue fabrics are not. There is no need to singe before dyeing. After dyeing, the fabric will retain a layer of fluff, so it is called "wool" blue fabric. .
