What kind of fabric is linen? What is the difference between linen and fine linen? Also called hemp fabric. Refers to cloth woven from hemp, which is mostly used for shirts or packaging items. Fine linen is called summer hemp, which can be used for clothing.

Linen cloth is a yarn and fabric made by pure hemp fiber or blended with other fibers, and also includes various hemp-containing interwoven fabrics. Hemp fabric has the characteristics of fast moisture absorption, high breaking strength, poor elasticity, and small breaking elongation. The range of hemp is very wide and there are many varieties, and its fiber properties are very different. Therefore, hemp textiles must be distinguished from their raw materials. my country's hemp crops can be summarized into eight categories, namely, ramie, flax, jute, kenaf, abutilon, hemp, sisal, and abaca. The first six categories are bast fibers, and the last two categories are leaf fibers. Among them, hemp, flax, apocynum and other cell walls are not lignified, and the fiber thickness is similar to cotton. It can be used as textile raw materials to woven into various cool linen cloths, summer cloths, or blended with cotton, wool, silk or chemical fiber; The cell walls of bast fibers such as jute and kenaf are lignified and the fibers are short, which are only suitable for spinning ropes and sacks for packaging.

Item characteristics

Hemp fabric refers to pure hemp fiber fabric and its blended or interwoven fabric. It has the following characteristics:

1. Hemp fiber is a cellulose fiber, and its fabric has properties similar to cotton.

2. Hemp fabric has the characteristics of high strength, good moisture absorption, and strong heat conduction, especially the strength ranks first among natural fibers.

3. The linen cloth has good dyeing performance, bright color and not easy to fade.

4. It is not very sensitive to alkali and acid. Mercerization can occur in caustic soda to enhance strength and gloss; after a short time in dilute acid (1 to 2 minutes), there is basically no change. Of course, strong acid is still harmful to it.

5. Good anti-fungal properties, not easy to be damp and moldy.

Linen-cotton blended interwoven fabric Linen-cotton blended fabric is generally blended with 55% linen and 45% cotton or 50% of linen and cotton. In appearance, it maintains the unique rugged and crisp style of the linen fabric, and has the soft characteristics of cotton fabric, which improves the shortcomings of the linen fabric that it is not fine enough and easy to fluff. Cotton and linen interwoven fabrics are mostly interwoven fabrics of cotton as warp and linen as weft. The texture is firm and smooth, and the hand feel is softer than pure linen. Hemp-cotton blended interwoven fabrics are mostly light and thin. ⑷ Hemp and chemical fiber blended fabrics include hemp and chemical fiber blended fabrics, and hemp and two or more chemical fiber blended fabrics. Such as: polyester linen, vitamin linen, viscose linen and other fabrics, "three-in-one" fabrics.

a. Polyester and linen fabric: refers to a fabric woven from polyester and linen fiber blended yarn, or a fabric made of polyester and linen blended yarn among the warp and weft yarns. Including polyester linen tweed, polyester linen yarn-dyed fabric, linen polyester canvas and polyester linen fine spinning, polyester linen golf cloth and other varieties. Polyester and linen cloth has the properties of both polyester and hemp fiber, stiff and breathable, and has a strong sense of wool. Suitable for making suits, fashions, skirts, jackets, etc.

b. "Three-in-one" blended fabric: refers to fabrics blended with two kinds of fibers, such as polyester wool, polyester cotton, polyester acrylic and so on. This kind of fabric not only has the characteristics of cool, comfortable, crisp and breathable of hemp fabric, but also has the excellent characteristics of other two kinds of fibers. For example, polyester and woolen hemp has the style of hemp, and also has good elasticity, not easy to wrinkle, and easy The feature of washing-free ironing can meet the needs of various purposes, and is very suitable for making all kinds of men and women's fashion clothes, coats, skirt materials, trousers, etc.
