Types of cotton

First to understand a wide variety of cotton, according to the cultivated species of cotton, combined with the length and thickness of the fiber can be classified into three major strains:

Coarse cashmere cotton, also known as Asian cotton, refers to cotton and grass cotton of various varieties of cotton, fiber coarse short, and elastic, such fibers because of short length, coarse fiber hard, white or fruit white, less mercerization, use value and unit output is low, in the country has been basically tide, the world has no product cotton production of fine cashmere cotton (the most common cotton)

Fine cotton accounts for 85% of the total output of the world flower, and is also the most important cultivated cotton in China at present

The key to the quality of cotton

Due to the differences in cotton varieties, growing environment, planting and harvesting methods, there are also considerable differences in the fiber characteristics and prices of the cotton produced, and the most critical factor affecting the quality is the warp dimension length of cotton and the method of harvesting.

In general, the longer the warp dimension of cotton, because the spun yarn outside the head is less, the output of weaving is now soft, suitable for making high-grade clothing, close-fitting bed, sweaters, etc

Hand picking vs. machine picking

To ensure the good length of the flowers outside the harvest method is also a combination of advanced products from the system, because the manual study is good, is from the flower fruit, to the failure of the study one

Then pick the top of the cotton again, rather than pulling it up like a machine, which is not only easy to destroy the fiber, but also the oil and dust inside the machine may pollute the fiber.

Xinjiang cotton

Xinjiang cotton is mainly divided into fine cashmere cotton and long cashmere cotton, the difference between the two is fineness and length: the length and fineness of long cashmere cotton are definitely better than fine cashmere cotton. Xinjiang cotton because of the weather and concentrated production areas, and other domestic production areas of cotton, ze, length, different, strong are the best

Therefore, the fabric woven with Xinjiang cotton yarn has good moisture absorption, good gloss, higher strength, and fewer yarn defects of the fabric, which is also the representative of the quality of pure cotton fabric in China;

At the same time, Xinjiang cotton is used to make cotton by its red fiber fluffiness, so the quilt has good warmth
