More and more people like linen yarn clothing, its unique simple natural, plain and elegant temperament, so that now many advocates simple and comfortable people can not stop, but now the clothing on the market, there are linen yarn, ramie yarn, cotton yarn, what are the characteristics of each, what is the difference, is not silly?
Usually as a whole hemp raw material for clothing, divided into flax and ramie two kinds, respectively, named after the plant name, and cotton, in fact, is hemp and cotton blended, not pure hemp, but it combines the advantages of cotton and hemp, has the characteristics of general hemp, so it is also very popular.
Known as the “fiber queen” of flax yarn, is the earliest human use of natural fiber, has a history of more than 10,000 years, its natural, simple, natural color, widely popular, its textiles are widely used as clothing fabrics, decorative fabrics, tablecloths, bedding and automotive supplies and other industrial supplies.
Advantages:
1. Cool down
Flax yarn is the only bundle of fibers in Tianran fiber, its fabric breathability ratio of more than 25, the heat dissipation performance is 5 times that of wool, 19 times that of silk, in hot weather conditions, wearing flax yarn clothing can make the skin surface temperature lower than other fabrics 3-4 degrees Celsius, known as “Tianran air conditioning”.
2. Dry and cool
Linen yarn has excellent water absorption, can absorb the equivalent of 20 self weight of water, and can quickly release the absorbed water, so no matter how much sweat can keep dry.
3. Reduce perspiration
Flax yarn helps to maintain the electrolyte balance of the human body, according to studies, flax yarn clothing can make the human body sweat, than wearing cotton clothing reduced by 1.5 times.
4, anti-radiation, anti-hypersensitivity
Some of the components contained in the flax yarn fiber can reduce inflammation, prevent fever, achieve the effect of preventing hypersensitivity, and have the effect of preventing radiation.
5, anti-static, inhibit fine bacteria
Studies have shown that blended fabrics containing only 10 flax yarn is enough to play the role of anti-static, flax yarn clothing can suppress fine bacteria, help prevent and treat some skin diseases.
Cons:
1. Easy to wrinkle
Although the flax fiber is full of toughness, it is not elastic, so once it is deformed, it can only wrinkle.
2. Poor dimensional stability
Because it is easy to wrinkle, resulting in bad measurements, there will be deviations.
3, poor comfort
The flax yarn fiber itself is relatively thick, and in order to maintain the natural characteristics, the processing process will not be too responsible, so it will be uncomfortable to wear.
China is a country with a long history of ramie yarn cultivation, more than 4700 years of history, ramie yarn fiber is all kinds of hemp fiber inside long, strong, longer than high-grade cotton 3 to 6 times, after degelling processing of ramie fiber, white jade, good luster, not easy to fade after dyeing.
Advantages:
1, antibacterial, anti-mite, anti-odor
The special ultra-fine pore structure inside ramie yarn fiber makes it have strong adsorption capacity and can absorb odor. Ramie yarn fiber is rich in a variety of natural antibacterial trace elements, which can effectively inhibit the breeding of fine bacteria mites and play a role in preventing bacteria and odor.
2, good moisture absorption and perspiration, easy to dry
The cross section of ramie yarn fiber is cavity structure, which can make the inhaled sweat permeate into the cavity and quickly exported, so it has superior permeability and heat transfer, more water absorption and fast moisture dispersion, moisture absorption and permeability.
3, light and breathable.
Ramie yarn fibers are long, so the fabric is very light, the same volume of ramie fabric is 20 lighter than cotton.
4, strong, mildew resistant wear resistant to corrosion.
Ramie yarn fiber is very long, so it is very tough, strong, small extension, coupled with not susceptible to mold corrosion and moth, known as “millennium soft gold”.
5, anti-purple outside line
The ultraviolet penetration rate of ramie yarn fiber is less than 0.6, and the anti-violet outer line ability is 41.7 times that of cotton, which can effectively reduce the damage of ultraviolet light to human body.
6, anti-static, anti-hypersensitivity
7, easy to dye, not easy to fade.
Cons:
1, low elasticity, easy to wrinkle;
2, poor wear resistance, easy to fuzz;
3. Poor comfort, especially pure ramie.
Cotton and linen fabric,
From top to bottom are: cotton yarn, flax yarn, ramie yarn fabric
1, appearance: cotton yarn fabric texture is relatively compact and delicate, close to other textiles, flax yarn and ramie yarn fabric gap is generally large, linen gauze surface structure is very full, overhang is particularly good, folds are relatively large and natural; The structure of ramie yarn fabric is very loose, with large gaps, obvious folds and sharp edges.
2, feel: cotton and hemp yarn is more delicate, lighter; The weight of flax yarn is relatively heavy, rough hand feel, ramie yarn is rougher than hemp yarn, but ramie yarn is light after all, the same volume of ramie yarn is 20 lighter than cotton.
3, water detection: mainly distinguish flax yarn and ramie yarn, ramie yarn hardened in water,
1. Cool. The heat dissipation of linen is 5 times that of wool, du silk zhi 19 times, in hot weather conditions, wearing dao linen clothing can make the skin surface temperature lower than wearing silk and cotton fabric clothing 3-4 degrees Celsius.
Two, dry. Linen can absorb up to 20% of its own weight in water, while quickly releasing the absorbed water, no matter how much sweat can stay dry.
3. Reduce perspiration. Helps maintain electrolyte balance in the body. Studies have shown that linen clothing can reduce the amount of human sweat by 1.5 times compared to wearing cotton clothing.
Fourth, radiation protection. Wearing a pair of linen pants can greatly reduce the effects of radiation, such as a drop in a man’s sperm count due to radiation.
5. Anti-static electricity. A fabric blend containing only 10% linen is enough to prevent static electricity. It can effectively reduce the anxiety, headache, chest tightness and breathing difficulties generated in the electrostatic environment.
6. Inhibit bacteria. Flax has a good effect of inhibiting bacteria and fungi, and can effectively prevent some diseases. According to Japanese researchers, linen sheets can prevent bedsores in patients who have been bedridden for a long time, and linen clothing can help prevent certain skin conditions, such as common rashes and chronic eczema.
