HOTEL LINEN PURCHASE GUIDE, DO YOU KNOW THE SECRET BEHIND THESE
YARN COUNT NUMBERS?HANBI IS HERE TO SHOW YOU
1. FIBER
Fiber is natural or synthetic, the length is more than a thousand times larger than the diameter and it is a fine filamentary material with
a certain degree of flexibility.
2. CLASSIFICATION OF FIBERS
Natural fibers: Fibers obtained directly from nature, generally in two forms: plant fibers (cotton, hemp, etc.) and animal fibers (wool, silk, etc.).
Synthetic fibers: fibers, such as acrylic, polyester, nylon, etc., obtained by the method of chemical treatment and injection drawing.
Fiber quality discrimination: the thickness and length of the fiber are important factors in determining the feel of the fabric.
The coarse fiber cloth has a hard, stiff and coarse feel and is resistant to pressure. The shorter the fiber, the coarser the fabric and the more
prone it is to pilling. The fine fibers give the fabric a soft, thin feel. The longer the fiber, the smoother the yarn, the less pilling. The fabric used
in the hotel is made of fine fibers.
3. YARN
Yarn count: Yarn count is the most basic unit of the finished fabric, the number of yarn count is inversely proportional to its thickness, the larger
the number, the finer, and the corresponding quality requirements for raw materials (cotton) are also higher.
Yarn fineness: yarn is generally expressed by its fineness, referring to a pound (454 grams) of weight cotton yarn in the specified moisture return
rate, there are several 840 yards (1 yard =0.941 meters) long, that is, several British yarn, can be simply read as "several yarn", the unit is
expressed by "S".
WHAT IS THE COMMOM MOISTURE REGAIN?
Moisture regain is an indicator of the degree of moisture absorption of a textile material, expressed as a percentage of the weight of the moisture
contained in the material as the weight of the dry material. Usually in the textile trade in order to weigh and check the needs of the price, it is necessary
to make uniform provisions for the moisture return of various textile materials, called the common moisture return rate.
Formula: Moisture regain = (wet weight - dry weight)/dry weight x 100%
National moisture recovery rate: veil 8.5%, cotton 8%, polyester cotton 3.06%, cloth 4.2%.
Yarn fineness discrimination: The larger the number in front of the S indicates that the yarn is thinner, and the woven fabric is lighter, thinner, and softer.
The smaller the number, the thicker the yarn, the heavier, thicker and coarser the woven fabric. For example: bedding yarn, according to its thickness is
generally divided into 21, 30, 40, 60S, 80S, etc., in addition to the relatively rare 100.
Standard unit of measurement for yarn: The textile industry is generally expressed in density. Density is the number of yarn per unit length, generally the
number of yarn in 1 inch or 10 cm, China's national standard stipulates the use of 10 cm yarn number to indicate the density, but still some textile enterprises
are still used to use the number of yarn in 1 inch to indicate the density.
CLASSIFICATION OF DENSITY:
(1) Warp density: fabric length direction, the yarn is called warp, and the number of yarn arrangements in 1 inch is warp density (warp density);
② weft density: fabric width direction, the yarn is called weft yarn, its 1 inch yarn arrangement number is weft density (weft density). Warp and weft densities
can be the same or different.
[Case] Full cotton 60s*40s/173*124 means: 60 warp yarn, 40 weft yarn; The warp density is 173 and the weft density is 124.
CLASSIFICATION OF HOTEL FABRICS
Woven fabric: Fabric composed of two systems of yarns arranged vertically with each other, i.e. transverse and longitudinal, interwoven on the
loom according to certain rules. Such as hotel linen quilt covers, sheets, tablecloth fabrics are mostly woven fabrics.
Nonwovens: made of loose fibers bonded or stitched together. At present, two methods are mainly used: adhesion and puncture. Such as some
laundry bags in the hotel linen, disposable slippers are nonwovens.
Pure textile: the raw materials of the fabric are all made of the same fiber, including cotton fabric, wool fabric, silk fabric, polyester fabric, etc.
Such as hotel linen quilt covers, sheets, pillowcases and so on are basically pure cotton fabric, also known as cotton fabric.
Blended fabric: The raw material of the fabric is made of two or more different kinds of fibers, which are blended into yarns. Such as hotel linen
in some quilt covers, sheets, pillowcases is polyester cotton and other blended fabrics.
Interwoven fabric: The raw materials constituting the two directional systems of the fabric are respectively made of different fibers. For example
most bed skirt fabrics and bed tail cushion fabrics in hotel linen are interwoven fabrics.
HOTEL LINEN TYPES AND SPECIFICATIONS
Classification of linen in guest rooms
Types of bedding: duvet cover, pillowcase, sheet, pillow, quilt, protective cushion, bed skirt.
The size of the bed linen: according to the specifications of the bed set the size of the linen.
Hotel room type specifications: single room, double room, ensuite.
HOTEL BED SPECIFICATIONS
Length: 2 meters, width: 1.2 meters;
Length: 2 meters, width: 1.5 meters;
Length: 2 m, width: 1.8 m;
Generally, quilt covers, sheets, protective pads, bed skirts, and bed tail pads are divided into large, medium, and small specifications. For example
the size of the quilt cover can cover the mattress and part of the bed frame after being put into the quilt. There is a gap between the mattress and
the bed frame, and if the quilt can not block the gap, it will affect the visual effect of the bed. Therefore, when ordering the size of the cloth, the sheet
is generally 80 centimeters more than the length and width of the bed.
GUEST ROOM TOWELS
According to the use, it is usually said three towels: bath towel, square towel, floor towel; According to the textile form is divided into: cotton
flat weaving, cut velvet spiral velvet, jacquard.
Hotel towels are one of the most used items by guests in the accommodation process, and the quality of hotel towels directly affects the quality
of hotel service. The common phenomena of towel damage: broken holes, more flocculent threads on the edge, dirty and old towel surface.
HOTEL LINEN SPECIFICATIONS REQUIREMENTS
Bed linen size choice: Generally speaking, the mattress is 20 cm. The large quilt cover is just enough to cover the gap between the bed frame
and the mattress.
