What is Cotton Yarn
Cotton yarn is a slender thread that can be twisted and spun with cotton fibers. Cotton yarn is a yarn made by spinning cotton fiber, and it is called cotton thread after ply processing. According to different spinning processes, it can be divided into carded yarn and combed yarn. Cotton yarn has a wide range of uses, it can be used as a woven yarn, such as: bed sheets, quilts, curtains and other home textile series. It can also be used as knitting yarn, especially combed yarn can be used to produce textiles with high quality requirements.
Characteristics of cotton yarn
1. The moisture absorption function of cotton yarn
Cotton yarn has good moisture absorption characteristics. In general, cotton fiber absorbs moisture from the surrounding atmosphere, and its moisture content can reach 8%-10%. Therefore, pure cotton textiles give people a soft feeling to the touch. , Will never be very stiff. If the humidity of the cotton cloth becomes higher, the surrounding temperature is higher, the water content of the cotton fiber will slowly evaporate, so that it can maintain the water balance and make people feel comfortable.
2. Moisturizing properties of cotton yarn
Cotton fiber itself has the advantages of porosity and elasticity. Therefore, a large amount of air can accumulate between cotton fibers, and the air contains an appropriate amount of humidity. Therefore, cotton yarns, cotton towels, and other pure cotton textiles can be very good. The moisturizing properties make people feel warm.
3. Heat resistance of cotton yarn
Below 110 ℃, it can only cause the evaporation of moisture on the cotton cloth, and will not damage the cotton fiber, so it also improves the washability, durability and durability of pure cotton textiles.
4. Alkali resistance of cotton yarn
Pure cotton textiles are also relatively resistant to alkali, and cotton fibers are not easily damaged when they are put in a solution with high alkali content.
5. Hygiene of cotton yarn
High degree of hygiene: Cotton fiber is a natural plant fiber, and its main ingredient is cellulose. The contact between cotton fabric and skin has no irritation and no negative effects. It is good but harmless to the human body when worn frequently, so its hygiene is high and its hygiene performance is also good.
