Textiles, as an indispensable part of our daily lives, come in a wide variety of types with their own characteristics. According to different weaving techniques and materials, fabrics can be classified into various types. Next, we will delve into the classification of fabrics and their unique features.
Classified by raw material composition
There are various ways to classify fabrics, and one important classification method is based on their raw material composition. This classification method can clearly reveal the basic characteristics of each fabric, thereby helping us better understand and apply them. Next, we will explore in detail this classification method and the various types of fabrics it covers.
1. Classified by fiber raw materials
Pure textile: a fabric made from a single fiber raw material, such as pure cotton, pure wool, etc.
Blended fabric: A fabric made by mixing two or more fiber materials, such as a blend of cotton and polyester.
Interwoven fabric: a fabric made by interweaving yarns of different fiber materials, such as an interwoven fabric with pure cotton warp and polyester weft.
2. Classified by yarn category
Yarn fabric: a fabric made entirely of single yarn, commonly used for weaving, knitting, or knotting.
Thread fabric: A fabric made entirely of stranded threads, which has high strength and durability.
Half line fabric: a fabric made by interweaving strands and single yarns (usually in the warp direction), combining the advantages of yarn and thread.
Fancy yarn fabric: a fabric made of special effect fancy yarns, such as bamboo knots, spiral yarns, etc.
Long filament fabric: a fabric made from natural or synthetic filaments, with elegant luster and soft hand feel.
