Fabric is the material used to make clothes. Fabric, as one of the three elements of clothing, can not only interpret the style and characteristics of clothing, but also directly affect the performance effect of clothing color and modeling.
Performance and identification of fabrics
It is the basic knowledge that every designer needs to correctly analyze and identify the fabric performance and apply it to clothing design accurately and reasonably, otherwise the fabric identification error may lead to problems in the design, production, wearing or washing of the whole clothing. The identification of clothing fabrics includes the identification of raw materials, appearance characteristics and appearance quality of clothing fabrics.
Observing and identifying fabrics requires not only vision, but also hearing, touch and even smell. For example, use the visual effect of eyes to observe the luster, dyeing, surface thickness and appearance characteristics of fabrics, such as plain cotton cloth is not clean enough, rough or even neps.
Wool-polyester blended woolen fabric has bright luster and a sense of flashing color, and its bones are slightly difficult to move and lose softness, which is obvious with the increase of polyester content. Without a soft and moist feeling, the fabric is brittle. Flat and smooth; Using the tactile effect of hands, we can feel the softness, smoothness, thickness, elasticity and warmth of fabrics and fibers, and we can also measure the strength and elongation of yarns in fibers by hand.
