What fabric is polyester cotton?
Dec 27, 2022
This is the fabric developed by combining polyester and cotton. There are three main structures of polyester/cotton fabrics: 1. Polyester/cotton blending, that is, blending polyester staple fiber and cotton in a certain proportion, spinning into yarn, and then weaving into cloth. The common polyester/cotton blends mainly include 65/35, 70/30, 80/20, etc. The yarn count is not limited. The blended polyester and cotton fabric spread to China in the 1970s. The shirt maker was called "Dacron", which was once popular, but now it is very common. 2. Polyester and cotton interwoven. There are two kinds of interlacing, one is polyester yarn is warp, the other is cotton yarn is weft; Second, cotton yarn is used for warp yarn and polyester is used for weft direction. The former is generally high in polyester content, good in width, strong in chemical fiber, strong in durability, and mostly used for coats. The latter generally has a high cotton content, which is more comfortable and can be worn close to the body. 3. Both weaving and blending. There is no fixed combination of polyester and cotton in this kind of polyester/cotton fabric. For example, the warp yarn can be polyester/cotton blended yarn, the weft yarn can be polyester or cotton, or the polyester and cotton can be woven into each other, which is infinitely variable and not restricted to one style.
