Recognition of fabric performance

Correct analysis and identification of fabric performance and accurate and reasonable application of clothing design is the basic knowledge that every designer needs to master. Otherwise, fabric identification errors may cause problems in the design, production, wearing or washing of the entire clothing. The identification of apparel fabrics includes raw material identification, appearance feature identification and appearance quality identification of apparel fabrics. Observing and recognizing fabrics requires not only vision, but also hearing, touch and even smell. For example, use the visual effect of the eyes to observe the luster and darkness of the fabric, the dyeing condition, the surface thickness and the appearance of the structure, the texture and the fiber. For example, the pure cotton cloth has ordinary gloss, the appearance is not fine enough, it is rough and even has neps, wool and polyester blends. The woolen cloth has a brighter luster and a gleaming color. The body bones are slightly harder and softer, and they are obviously prominent with the increase of polyester content. It lacks a soft and moisturizing feeling, and the fabric is crisp. Flat and smooth; using the tactile effect of the hand can feel the softness, smoothness, thickness, elasticity, cold and warm of the fabric and fiber, and the strength and elongation of the yarn in the fiber can be measured by hand.

Different fabrics have different properties such as air permeability, moisture absorption, and warmth retention. For example, cotton fabric has good air permeability and moisture absorption, is comfortable to wear, and has good warmth retention. It is the most ideal children's clothing fabric. When choosing a fabric, it is necessary to confirm the performance characteristics of the fabric such as air permeability, heat preservation, moisture absorption, static electricity, etc., and then consider the fabric's crispness, weight, softness and drape to consider what kind of shape it is suitable for and what to do Kind of styles and so on.
