There are various types of fabrics for making clothes, including natural fabrics and artificial fabrics. Here are some common clothing fabrics and their characteristics:
Natural Fabric:
Cotton: Cotton fabrics belong to natural fabrics and are generally divided into pure cotton and mixed cotton. Comfortable to the touch, breathable fabric, and low cost, it is currently one of the most widely applicable fabrics on the market. Cotton fabrics have good moisture absorption and breathability, are soft and comfortable to wear, have good warmth retention, good dyeing performance, bright colors, and complete color spectrum. But the disadvantages are easy wrinkling, difficult maintenance, shrinkage, easy deformation, poor durability, and easy fading.
Hemp material: Hemp clothing is also a natural fabric, with good moisture absorption and dyeing properties, firm, smooth, and wear-resistant. But the disadvantages are easy wrinkling, shrinkage, and alkali resistance.
Wool material: sturdy, wear-resistant, warm, elastic, wrinkle resistant, and not easy to fade.
Silk: Soft and smooth, elegant and gorgeous, with bright colors and dazzling colors. It is hygroscopic and heat-resistant, but not resistant to light, water, and alkali.
Artificial fabric:
Polyester (polyester fiber): Polyester fabric is a fabric made of polyester fiber, which has good strength and durability, as well as advantages such as wrinkle resistance and elasticity. But it has poor breathability, poor moisture absorption, is prone to static electricity and fuzz.
Nylon: It is a fabric made of polyamide fibers, which has excellent strength and wear resistance, as well as waterproof and oil resistant properties.
Spandex: is an elastic chemical fiber with good elasticity, resilience, and a tight fitting effect.
Acrylic fiber (polyacrylonitrile fiber): soft, warm, and strong, known as "artificial wool", but with poor wear resistance and moisture absorption.
In addition to the common fabrics mentioned above, there are also various fabrics such as polypropylene and nylon used to make clothing. When choosing clothing fabrics, comprehensive consideration should be given to personal needs, wearing occasions, seasons, and comfort.
