Golden Sun: The difference in characteristics of common wool fabrics

At present, the animal hair fibers used in the wool fabrics on the market are roughly sheep wool, mountain wool, camel wool, rabbit fur, cashmere and the like. Different wool fibers have different characteristics and prices are not the same. The following Golden Sun Bedding experts will give you a detailed introduction of several kinds of wool fabrics that are common in the market.

Key words: wool fiber, cashmere, wool, golden sun, sheep wool, the largest daily use of sweaters, wool, felt, etc. are mainly sheep wool in sheep. In the weaving industry, "wool" has become the abbreviation for sheep wool because of the largest amount of sheep wool.

The countries with more sheep wool production in the world are Australia, CIS, New Zealand, Argentina and China. The count and number of wool are the basis for assessing wool grade and quality. The higher the count, the better the quality, the higher the grade, the worse the quality.

The "Australian hairs" that have always been admired by the sheep's hair belong to the merino sheep, which are produced in Australia and hence the name. Its fine and long hair is the best quality of wool sheep. Others such as New Zealand, South America, European countries, Southern Alps, etc. are raised and have a good reputation in the world.

Selangor is also a common species. Selangor was originally called Shetland wool and was named after the Shetland Islands in Scotland. Because Selangor has fluff as the main body and contains a lot of coarse hair and bristles, this natural coarse and fine mixture has formed the characteristics of the full and fluffy, soft and not delicate, and the gloss and elasticity are good. Has a rough style. However, due to the low production of Selangor, the supply is in short supply. The so-called “Snowland sweaters” sold on the market are mostly made of New Zealand semi-fine wool. Some of them are called "Snowland Mao" sweaters. The selling price is less than 100 yuan or even only tens of yuan. In fact, it is a product like the imitation of the Selangor style. Some "Snow Orchid" is made of a variety of wool. Only thick wool can be made and the price is cheaper.

There is also a lamb hair that is cheap and popular with consumers. It is actually a lamb's hair. It has a thicker feel and is made into a wool thread.

Second, the mountain wool mountain wool refers to the coarse hair and dead hair cut from the mountain wool. Generally, the fine hair of the mountain wool is very short, it can't be spun, the rough hair can only be made into a brush, the brush and the like, except for the mohair. Mohair is Angora wool, produced in Turkey's Angola province, North America and South Asia. It is a kind of high-quality wool fiber with smooth surface, little curl, long and thick, silky soft and strong luster, excellent back. Elasticity, abrasion resistance and high strength are ideal materials for weaving jacquard blankets, plush, sleek coats, artificial fur and other high-grade fabrics. A thick, needle-knitted mohair sweater with soft, silky fibers forms a noble, lively and rugged clothing style that is loved by people. The Zhongweishan wool in the northwest of China also belongs to the mohair. However, in the market, some people have called the fluffy-style acrylic bulked yarn "mohair" for sale, which is misunderstood. Such acrylic bulked yarn can only be called "faux mohair" at best.

Third, Alpaca Alpaca (ALPACA), also known as "Camel wool", fiber length of 20-40 cm, white, brown, gray, black and other colors, because 90% produced in Peru, also known as "Peru wool". Its two varieties, one is fiber curl, with silver luster, the other is flat fiber, less curl, has a similar mohair luster, often blended with other fibers, as a high-quality material for high-end clothing. Camel wool currently on the market is mostly from Eastern Europe.

Fourth, rabbit fur rabbit hair is popular with people because of its light, fine, soft, warmth and cheap price. It is composed of soft fluff and coarse hair, mainly common rabbits and Angora rabbit hair, and the quality of the latter is excellent. Rabbit hair differs from wool in that it has a slender fiber and a particularly smooth surface that is easily identifiable. Because rabbit hair has low strength and is not easy to be spun separately, it is often blended with wool or other fibers to make knitwear and women's clothing, overcoats and other apparel fabrics.

5. Cashmere cashmere is the bottom fluff from the goat. The goat grows on the alpine grassland, such as Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Qinghai, Liaoning and other places in China. China is the world's largest cashmere producer, and cashmere production accounts for more than 1/2 of the world's total output. Among them, Inner Mongolia's cashmere is the top grade. Cashmere fibers are characterized by slimness and softness. The fabric is soft, smooth and soft, and is lighter in weight than wool fabrics of the same thickness, and is mostly suede. In general, light-colored cashmere coats are mostly derived from white velvet, and the quality is better; while the dark ones are mostly taken from purple or green velvet, and the quality is less.

6. Alpaca Alpaca comes from an animal called "Alpaca" (also known as "Albaka"), which grows mainly in the Peruvian Andes. The Andes are at an altitude of 4,500 meters. The temperature difference between day and night is very high. At night, it is -20 to -18 °C, while during the day, it is 15 to 18 °C. The sunlight is strong, the atmosphere is thin, and the wind is cold. Alpacas that live in such a harsh environment are of course able to withstand extreme temperature changes. Alpaca not only moisturizes, but also effectively resists solar radiation. Alpaca fibers contain a medullary cavity visible under the microscope, so its warmth is better than wool, cashmere and mohair.

In addition, alpaca fiber has more than 17 kinds of natural color: from white to black, and a series of different shades of brown, gray, is the most abundant fiber in the special animal fiber. The "Albaka" we see on the market refers to alpaca; and "Su Li" is one of alpaca and refers to adult alpaca, with long fibers and beautiful colors; often said The "beibei" is an alpaca cub, and the relative fibers are finer and softer. The alpaca hair feels slippery and keeps warm.
