Among clothing fabrics, we often hear the word woolen fabric, which is widely used in various clothing productions. But in fact, there are still many friends who don’t know what woolen fabrics are. The following will popularize some knowledge about woolen fabrics, so that everyone can have a simple understanding of woolen fabrics.
What are woolen and worsted
Worse cashmere and worsted Spun cashmere, simply put, is the process of spinning raw cashmere into yarn. Due to different technological processes, two yarns with different thicknesses are formed.
There is a process in the spinning process called combing. The yarn produced through this process is called combed yarn, but the yarn produced through this process is called carded yarn. Or woolen yarn, combed yarn is superior to carded yarn in terms of strength, evenness and other aspects.
What are the differences in the weaving effects of woolen and worsted

The woolen fabric has a plump surface and a tight and thick texture. There is fine velvet on the surface, and the texture is generally not visible. It feels warm, plump and elastic. The yarns are mostly thick single yarns.
The surface of the worsted fabric is smooth and clean, and the texture is fine and clear. The luster is soft and natural, and the color is pure. It feels soft and elastic. Pinch the dough tightly with your hands and loosen it. The crease will not be obvious and it can quickly return to its original shape. Most of the yarn count is double ply.
Analysis of worsted, semi-worsted and woolen spinning
Semi-worsted and traditional wool The biggest difference between the worsted spinning and woolen spinning processes is that it integrates cotton spinning technology and wool spinning technology to form a new multi-component mixing process, which is preceded by woolen spinning and woolen equipment plus a cotton spinning carding machine, and Strip frame, roving frame, spinning frame; the latter is worsted spinning winding, doubling and twisting equipment. Changes in equipment and processes have solved problems that the original wool spinning equipment could not solve.
Semi-worsted spinning can successfully blend cotton, wool, silk, linen and other natural raw materials with other new man-made fibers and chemical fibers. The raw materials of woolen semi-worsted include cashmere, wool, silk, rabbit velvet, cotton, ramie and other natural fibers, soy protein fiber, milk protein fiber, Tencel, modal, bamboo fiber, viscose fiber and other man-made fibers, as well as The successful blending of acrylic, polyester, nylon and other chemical fibers has an extremely rich product structure.
Wool spinning is a spinning method of wool spinning. Spun cashmere has a relatively thick count and is cheap. The yarn has poor yarn properties and is prone to pilling and deformation. The count of semi-worsted is roughly around 28/2. Compared with woolen, the price is higher and the properties are better. Worsted cashmere is the best, with a count of more than 2/48, and the items made are soft and delicate. Very comfortable and warm to wear. However, this kind of yarn is very expensive and is commonly known as “the soft gold in wool yarn”. About 1800 yuan/kg or more.
There are two types of cashmere high count yarn production lines in China: semi-worsted spinning and fully worsted spinning. Semi-worsted yarn can be spun to less than 16.67tex without combing to remove short fibers. It can meet the needs of general light and thin fabrics, has a high yarn yield and relatively low cost. Worsted yarn needs to be combed to remove short fibers, and the spinning count can reach 10tex, but the cost is high, and due to yarn strength issues, it often needs to be blended with other fibers, so it is suitable for special light and thin fabrics. Therefore, the development and production of semi-worsted cashmere yarn, following woolen cashmere yarn, is increasingly valued by the domestic and foreign cashmere yarn markets.
The difference between woolen wool and worsted wool. Identification of woolen wool:
(1) Sensory recognition. Pure wool products generally have rich and smooth suede, even and slightly shiny colors, warm to the touch, no wrinkles after folding, and the wool body is soft and highly resilient.
(2) Combustion identification. When the single yarn is burned with fire, it will slowly smoke and smell like burning hair, and the ash will be black and brittle.
(3) Product number identification. Each section of wool sold has a label, and the product number on the label is a five-digit number. If the first digit is 0, it means pure wool, and if the first digit is 1, it is a blended product. For example: 01001 – pure wool Melton; 11001 – blended Melton; 71001 – pure fiber Melton.
Identification of worsted wool:
Worsted wool is mainly pure sheep wool , it can also be mixed with a certain proportion of wool-type chemical fibers or other natural fibers, processed by combing equipment, and made of high-end clothing fabrics through multiple carding, combining, drafting, spinning, weaving, dyeing and finishing. It has the good elasticity, softness, unique shrinkage and wrinkle resistance unique to animal hair. It also has warmth retention properties after absorbing moisture or sweat.
The difference between woolen wool and worsted wool: The surface of worsted wool fabric is smooth and clean, and the texture is fine and clear. The luster is soft and natural, and the color is pure. It feels soft and elastic. Pinch the dough tightly with your hands and loosen it. The crease will not be obvious and it can quickly return to its original shape. Most of the yarn count is double ply.
