How to identify pure wool fabrics

Pure wool fabrics are natural and soft in color and have good warmth retention. It is the first choice for making high-end suits and coats. There are more and more imitation wool fabrics. With the improvement of textile technology, it has reached a level that most customers are difficult to identify, but the color, warmth, and hand feel are still far behind pure wool fabrics.

1. Feeling of touch. Pure wool fabrics usually feel soft and smooth, while long-haired fabrics feel smooth to the touch and have a tingling sensation against the hair. And blended or purified fiber products, some are not soft, some are too soft and loose, and have a sticky feeling.

2. Look at the color. The color of pure wool fabric is natural and soft, bright and without old feeling. In contrast, blended or purified fiber fabrics have darker gloss or a sense of shining color.

3. Look at flexibility. Hold the object tightly with your hands, and then immediately let go to see the elasticity of the fabric. Pure wool fabrics have a high resilience rate and can quickly return to their original shape, while blended or chemical fiber products have poor wrinkle resistance, mostly leaving obvious wrinkle marks or slow recovery.

4. Identification of combustion method. Take a bunch of yarn and burn it with fire. The smell of pure wool fiber is like burning hair, and the smell of chemical fiber fabric is like burning plastic. The harder the burned particles, the more chemical fiber content.

5. Single root identification. The hair of all animals is scaly under the microscope. If it is a long-haired fabric, just take a mammoth and rub it a few times and it will move up or down (in order to master this technique, you can use a piece of hair to do it). Test), if it is a normal fabric, take a piece of yarn, cut two pieces of 2 cm and disassemble them into one piece of fiber, and rub them four or five times in the palm of your hand to see if they will move.
