The concept of sweater clothing refers to knitted sweaters made of wool, which is also recognized by ordinary people. In fact, "woolen sweater" has now become synonymous with a class of products, that is, it is used to refer to "knitted sweater" or "wool knitwear".
Wool knitwear refers to the fabric spun into yarn with animal hair fibers such as wool, cashmere and rabbit hair as the main raw materials. For example, rabbit sweaters, shiran sweaters, woolen sweaters and acrylic sweaters are all "sweaters". The raw materials for sweater production include pure wool, rabbit hair and cashmere.
Raw materials are produced in Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and overseas Australia, Sri Lanka, Argentina and Uruguay. Sweaters are classified according to different raw materials. Sweater is the most popular knitted sweater. It is made of sheep wool. Its stitch is clear, and the top of the sweater is smooth, flat and full, with bright color and elasticity. Sweaters are durable and affordable.
2> cashmere sweater, also known as cashmere sweater, is made of cashmere and is the best in sweaters. Thin and warm, exquisite and gorgeous, delicate and smooth, comfortable and soft to wear; Because cashmere fiber is thin and short, it is easy to pilling and its durability is not as good as that of ordinary sweaters. At the same time, cashmere sweaters are expensive because cashmere resources are scarce.
3> cashmere sweater is made of underage lamb hair, so it is also called cashmere sweater, which is a domestic product of cashmere sweater. Because mutton capillary is soft, cashmere sweater is delicate and soft, and the price is moderate.
4 & gtSheeran sweater was originally made of Shetland wool originating in Shetland Island, England, mixed with coarse wool, which felt a little tingling. Sheeran sweaters are rich and bulky, naturally rough and crazy, with less pilling and low price. This style of sweater is now commonly known as Shirley sweater, so Shirley wool has become synonymous with rough and crazy style.
5> rabbit hair sweaters are generally made of a certain proportion of rabbit hair and wool. Rabbit hair sweater is characterized by fine fiber, smooth and waxy feel, fluffy surface, soft color, good fluffy, comfortable and chic to wear, difficult to fall off the middle surface, and better warmth retention than wool clothing. If the process of weaving first and then dyeing is adopted, its color will be more pure, gorgeous and unique, especially suitable for making young women's coats. 6> Yak cashmere sweater is selected from the plateau of * * *, which is slightly inferior to cashmere sweater in style, soft and delicate in hand, not easy to pilling, and much lower in price than cashmere sweater, but the color of yak cashmere sweater is monotonous and suitable for men's wear.
7> mohair sweater is made of goat hair originated from Angra, which has the advantages of shiny luster, smoothness, softness, elasticity, lightness, fluffy, breathability and pilling. Comfortable, warm and durable, it is a high-end product with higher price. The 8> alpaca sweater is made of alpaca hair produced in Chile. Its fiber is rough, smooth, elastic, with natural pigment, bulky and extensive, not easy to pilling, warm and durable. It is a high-grade product that has emerged in recent years, and its price is higher than that of ordinary sweaters.
9> chemical fiber sweaters and garments are also characterized by being light and thin. For example, acrylic shirts are generally woven with acrylic bulked yarn, which has strong wool feeling, bright color, light and fluffy texture, moisture regain of only 0-4.5%, fiber breaking strength higher than wool fiber, and will not be moth-eaten, but the elastic recovery rate is lower than wool, and the warmth retention is not as good as pure woolen sweater. It is cheap, but easy to pilling, so it is suitable for children's wear.
Recently, in the international market, the blended yarn of acrylic fiber and nylon imitating rabbit hair and the modified acrylic fiber yarn imitating mohair can compete with natural rabbit hair and mohair clothing. 10 > The sweater blended with animal hair and chemical fiber has the "complementary characteristics" of all kinds of animal hair and chemical fiber, with hairy appearance, improved tensile strength and reduced sweater cost, which is a cheap product.
However, in blended sweaters, the dyeing effect is not ideal because of the different dyeing and color absorption abilities of different types of fibers. The characteristics and properties of several main commonly used raw materials are introduced below: A> With the development of science, there are many kinds of sheep wool fibers in the world.
But the main properties such as moisture absorption, warmth and comfort are not comparable to those of sheep. Wool fiber is a slender cylindrical object, which consists of scale layer, cortex and medulla layer.
Due to the directionality of scales, wool fibers have good shrinkage under certain conditions of damp heat and soapy liquid, as well as under the kneading action of mechanical external force. The diameter of wool fiber is within 18~42 microns. The finer the fiber, the higher the spinnability, the higher the relative strength, the higher the curl and the better the elasticity.
B& gt； Ultra-fine Merino wool Ultra-fine Merino sheep comes from Australia's high-quality wool-Merino sheep. This is a unique fine wool variety cultivated in Australia after 200 years of breeding and improvement.
Coarse wool clothes will feel itchy when put on, and superfine merino wool is the finest wool. For example, human hair is 50-60 microns, and the best merino wool can reach 1 1.7 microns.
Usually we use 19.5 micron or less, cashmere 13- 15 micron, mohair 25-30 micron, cotton 10- 14.4 micron and silk 12 micron. This wool sweater is not only elastic, but also very soft and delicate, and it is quite comfortable to wear.
Its noble price and feel, second only to cashmere, are destined to be the top grade of all wool products. Cashmere, the raw material of C> cashmere fiber cashmere sweater, is the best animal fiber, which is mainly produced in goats growing in semi-desert areas with large temperature difference and long sunshine in northwest China, such as Mongolia, Iran and Afghanistan.
Because of its scarce output and excellent quality, it is known as "soft gold". Cashmere is a kind of pure natural hollow fiber, much thinner than wool, and the scales outside are more charming and smoother than wool.
So it is light in weight, soft and good in toughness. It is light, soft and smooth, and it is very comfortable to wear next to the body.
It is unmatched by any other fiber. Cashmere differs from wool. Wool grows on sheep and cashmere grows on goats.
The annual cashmere yield of a cashmere goat is only 150g~200g, and the average fineness of cashmere is mostly 15~ 16 micron. Cashmere is superior to wool in tensile strength and elastic deformation, and has the characteristics of thinness, lightness, softness and good warmth retention. Cashmere fiber is obtained by combing and scraping the fluff under goat's long hair.
Villus fiber is composed of scale layer and cortex, without medullary layer. Its average fineness is 15~ 16 micron.
2. Want to know the basic knowledge of cashmere sweater
Cashmere should pay attention to the following points in maintenance and collection: 1. Keep it clean and change it frequently to prevent moth breeding.
2. When stored in different seasons, it must be washed, ironed, dried, sealed with plastic bags and placed flat in the wardrobe. Pay attention to shading to prevent fading.
Ventilation, dust removal and dehumidification should be carried out frequently, and exposure to the sun is not allowed. Put mildew-proof and moth-proof tablets in the wardrobe to prevent cashmere products from getting damp, mildew and insects.
3. When you wear it inside, the matching coat lining should be smooth and hard objects such as pens, key bags and mobile phones. Avoid in the pocket to avoid local friction and pilling. When wearing outdoors, try to reduce the friction with hard objects (such as sofa backrest, armrest and desktop) and hooks.
It is not easy to wear it for too long, so it is necessary to stop wearing it or change it in about 5 days to restore the elasticity of the clothes and avoid fiber fatigue damage. 4. If there is pilling, don't pull hard. You must cut off the fluff ball with scissors to avoid irreparable damage caused by thread loss.
3. How to wash sweaters?
Soak the sweater in cold water first, and then soak it in neutral detergent solution for 5 minutes. The concentration of detergent depends on the dirtiness of the sweater.
Gently press and wash with your hands, put some detergent on the cuffs and neckline, gently rub and wash with your hands (don't use force), and then rinse with clear water. Put some vinegar or other softener in clear water, soak for about 3 minutes, and then rinse with clear water.
Fold the clothes and put them on the inclined plate, then gently squeeze out the water by hand or dehydrate them with the washing machine. Time cannot be too long (1 min). Use pre-cut cardboard to lay the sweater flat, straighten it and put it on a flat plate to dry.
When drying, cover it with a white cloth. After drying, put away some paper-wrapped mothballs to prevent insects from eating. Cashmere sweaters can be made without moth balls.
Multicolor jacquard shirts are forbidden to be soaked in soapy water. If there is a little more water, they will be rinsed with washing.
4. Washing tips: How to wash wool products?
There are many wool products on the market now, but users may not know the correct washing method. Wool products should be dry-cleaned. Washing with water will shrink wool. Alkali is a deadly substance of wool, which will not only harm the fiber, but also fade due to neutralization, so the washing of wool products must need neutral detergent. Soak the wool fabric detergent in water for a while, then wash it gently by hand, don't rub it hard, then rinse it with clear water, gently wring out the water (don't twist it), and put it on a clothes rack specially for drying wool fabrics (there is a grid in the middle of the circle, like a sieve, I don't know, ask the waiter) to dry it, and don't expose it to the sun.
Now I'd like to introduce you to a method of washing sweaters: according to the size of clothes, add a proper amount of dry cleaning agent and ammonia water, pat them with water, and then blow dry them in a ventilated place to make them smooth, and the clothes will become soft as new. Generally, ammonia water is added to avoid clothes shrinking, but it is not advisable to add more when washing wool products. After washing, a few drops of vinegar can be added to clean water.
5. Cashmere and wool knowledge
What is cashmere? Cashmere is a thin layer of fine hair that grows on the outer cortex of goats and covers the roots of goat coarse hair. It grows when it is cold in winter, resists the cold, falls off when it is warm in spring, and naturally adapts to the climate.
What is the difference between cashmere and wool? Cashmere differs from wool. Wool grows on sheep, and cashmere only grows on goats. Generally speaking, cashmere only refers to cashmere.
Sheep have no cashmere. Many people call the fine wool on sheep "sheep cashmere", which actually confuses the concepts of cashmere and wool. What are the characteristics of cashmere? It is slender, soft and warm-cashmere is one of the finest animal fibers, and the fineness of Arbas cashmere is generally 13um- 15.
5um, high natural curl, compact spinning and weaving arrangement, good cohesion, so good warmth retention, which is wool 1. Five or two times.
Cashmere fiber scales are small and smooth, with an air layer in the middle, so it is light in weight and smooth to the touch. Natural soft color-cashmere fiber has uniform fineness, low density, regular circular section, strong hygroscopicity, can fully absorb dyes and is not easy to fade.
Therefore, compared with other fibers, cashmere has obvious advantages of natural, soft, pure and gorgeous luster. Soft and elastic-Cashmere fiber is suitable for processing into knitted fabric with full hand, softness and good elasticity because of its large crimp number, crimp rate and crimp recovery rate. Comfortable and natural to wear, good recovery characteristics, especially after washing, no shrinkage, good shape retention.
Where is the main producing area of cashmere? Cashmere production is extremely limited. The cashmere yield of a cashmere goat is 50-80 grams per year (pure cashmere after impurity removal), and the cashmere yield of every five goats is enough to make an ordinary cashmere sweater. Cashmere goats in the world mainly grow in the cold and semi-desert areas of northern China, Mongolia, Iranian and Afghan.
The world cashmere production is only about 1 10,000 tons, accounting for 0.5% of the total animal fiber. 2%。
China's cashmere production accounts for 60% of the world's total output, and Inner Mongolia's production accounts for 60% of the whole country, especially Arbas in western Inner Mongolia, which has the best quality, long length and fine fineness, and is regarded as the best cashmere at home and abroad, and won the Italian Chagner fluff production award with 1985. Europeans and Americans call it "fiber diamond" and Japanese call it "soft gold".
Therefore, the word "Arbas" has become synonymous with the best cashmere and goat breeds in the world. Do you know how to buy cashmere sweaters? Raw cashmere from goats can be made into pure cashmere raw material-lint-free after screening and washing, and then made into various cashmere garments through more than 50 processes such as dyeing, spinning, knitting and finishing.
Arbas cashmere sweater is exquisite in materials, rigorous in technology, advanced in equipment, scientific in technology and strict in testing. The finished product has smooth appearance, fine workmanship, smooth feel, clear and uniform grain, plump suede, soft color and elasticity.
The size should be moderate when choosing, and you can refer to the Arbas cashmere sweater size comparison table. Because cashmere sweaters will not shrink and deform as long as they are washed properly.
Do you know what to pay attention to when wearing cashmere sweater? Cashmere needs careful care when wearing because its fiber is slender and short, and its strength is not as good as wool, especially to avoid long-term friction with hard objects, coarse cloth, chemical fiber and other clothing. You'd better take it with you.
When wearing cashmere pants, don't pull hard and do strenuous exercise to avoid slipping, opening holes and pilling. If the casing is found to fall off and open, it should be repaired in time, otherwise it will cause the defect that it cannot be replaced.
Are you very concerned about how to wash cashmere sweaters? Cashmere sweaters are best washed by the method indicated on the hanging tag and washing label, and washing by the washing machine is avoided. If conditions permit, it can be dry-cleaned or sent to the manufacturer's after-sales service center for washing. Please refer to the following steps for washing: 1. Turn the cashmere sweater upside down and soak it in neutral detergent water at about 35 degrees Celsius for 15-30 minutes, preferably with diluted cashmere sweater detergent.
Cashmere is an acid-resistant and alkali-resistant protein fiber. It is forbidden to use emulsion, washing powder, soap, shampoo, etc. containing enzymes or bleaching and dyeing chemical additives to prevent corrosion and fading. 2. Jacquard or multicolored cashmere sweaters should not be soaked, and cashmere sweaters of different colors should not be washed together to prevent mutual staining.
Where the dirt is serious, wash it by squeezing and rubbing, and pat and rub the rest parts. After rinsing with clear water, they can be soaked in Albas special softener according to the specified amount for 10- 15 minutes, which will make them feel better. Put that washed cashmere sweater into the dehydration cylinder of the washing machine for dehydration, and lay flat to dry.
Please do not hang in the sun, it will cause deformation. 3. After drying, iron with a steam iron at medium temperature (about 140 degrees Celsius), and put the iron and cashmere sweater at 0.
5- 1cm m distance, do not press on it, if you use other irons, be sure to wet the towel. If the cashmere sweater gets dirty when it is worn outdoors, please deal with it in the following ways, or send it to the laundry dry cleaning and factory after-sales service center for treatment.
Animal and vegetable fats and oils: Wash with neutral detergent or cashmere sweater special detergent. Coffee, black tea: you can wring it out with a towel and wipe it off in time.
If you have a partner or breast milk, wipe it with a small amount of detergent. If you stay for a long time, wipe with vinegar.
Ice cream: first brush off the dry part with a small brush, then lightly brush it with a brush dipped in emulsion (be careful not to brush the pilling ball), and finally wring out the towel with water and gently wipe it. Milk and dairy products: first gently wipe with a cloth soaked in hot water, and then wipe the residual oil with lotion. If it still doesn't rub off, try alcohol.
The dirt is clean, but it still needs to be sent to dry cleaning. Black juice: After wiping with a paper towel, repeatedly wipe the paper with vinegar or oxalic acid.
Lipstick: Wipe gently with paper towel first, and then wipe with emulsion. Because lipstick will get bigger and bigger, it should be carefully wiped from the outside to the inside. Fruit juice: When you first touch it, you can wipe it with a cloth dipped in warm water. If you still leave stains, you can wipe them with emulsion.
Wine and perfume: To prevent diffusion, sprinkle some salt on it first, then brush it off with a soft brush, and finally wipe it with a rag dipped in water or lotion or alcohol. Signature, Mike pen: different pens have different ways of wiping.
Can be removed with vegetable oil, glass cleaner or nail polish. Blood stains: first wipe with paper, then wipe with hydrogen peroxide, or wipe off blood stains that have remained for too long.
Rust: Rust remover sold by hardware store is also effective for cashmere rust removal. Mould and mud: brush it off with a brush after drying, then suck it off with a vacuum cleaner.
Finally, wash with alcohol.

Dry cleaning is the best choice for sweaters. If there is a hand washing sign, it means that warm water below 40℃ and special detergent can be used.
Turn out the inner layer of the clothes, immerse it in the completely dissolved detergent for five minutes, and slowly squeeze the clothes until they are soaked. Don't rub them. Wash it with warm water first, then with cold water until it is clean.
Before washing the sweater, the cuffs and loose clothes should be folded inward, the top button should be buttoned, and then the sweater should be turned over for cleaning. When washing by machine, put the sweater into the laundry bag first, and then put it into the washing machine.
When washing clothes, vinegar can be added to warm water to prevent clothes from being worn. Sweaters should try to avoid dehydration with a dehydrator, and take 30 seconds to one minute if necessary.
The washed clothes can be covered with a dry towel and then rolled together, and the towel absorbs excess water from the sweater. When drying clothes, lay them flat until they are 80% dry, then wrap your sleeves in a net bag and hang them on a bamboo pole to dry.
Avoid exposure to strong sunlight, otherwise it will destroy the molecular structure of wool. Sweaters stretch and deform after washing, and can be restored to their original state by spraying them with an iron.
Washing and care of sweaters 1. For sweaters, we give priority to dry cleaning or hand washing. When washing by hand, the water temperature should not exceed 30℃. It is recommended not to use washing powder. We can choose a special detergent for sweaters and mix it with warm water. According to the dirty condition of woolen sweater, add appropriate amount, soak and gently knead, and then soak and gently knead for several times, then rinse with clear water and dehydrate 1-2. If machine washing is used, it must be carried out according to the washing steps of woolen sweater on the washing machine, and the water temperature should be controlled within 30℃; 2. It is best to wash the newly bought woolen sweater once before it is officially worn, because there will be some oil stains, paraffin wax, dust and other stolen goods in the production process of woolen sweater, and the new woolen sweater will also have the smell of moth-proofing agent; 3. If possible, the dehydrated woolen sweater can be dried at 80℃. If it is dried at room temperature, it is best not to use a clothes rack, but to hang or tile it with a clothes rack and put it in a cool and ventilated place. 4. When the sweater is 90% dry, iron it with steam and set it, and then dry it completely before wearing it for collection; 5, often use clothes to brush the dust on the sweater, so as not to affect the beauty of the sweater; 6. If you wear the same sweater for two or three days in a row, remember to change it, which will restore the natural elasticity of the wool fabric; 7. Put the sweater in a cool and breathable place after wearing it, and be sure to use a hanger when saving it; 8. Simple ways to remove wrinkles, such as ironing wet cloth on clothes or ironing with a steam iron at medium temperature; 9. If your sweater is soaked, dry it as soon as possible, but never dry it directly with a heat source, such as an open flame, a heater or direct exposure to strong sunlight.
Everyone likes to wash sweaters skillfully, but it's really a headache to get some dirty things carelessly! Now I'd like to introduce you to the method to ensure that "dirt goes away without a trace and sweaters are cleaner". Method 1: as soon as the stain falls on the sweater, it should be cleaned immediately. If the sweater accidentally rubs dirty things, it must be cleaned immediately to avoid leaving traces.
The longer the same stain stays on the sweater, the less likely it is to be washed off; And after a long time, stains will penetrate into wool fibers, and it is inevitable to rub hard when cleaning, which is more likely to cause damage to clothes. Here we divide the cleaning methods into two types: after the clothes are dirty and after a few hours, and introduce them respectively.
(Stains of juice) Soak a dry towel in hot water, wring it out and cover it on the sweater to absorb the stains left by juice. (Coffee, tea stains) Cover the sweater with a dry towel to absorb the stains.
(oily stains) After oily stains leave stains, it should be noted that when wiping, the other hand should hold a dry towel under the sweater. If you use detergent, be sure to clean it with a wet towel and then dry it with a dry towel.
(Juice) If it is stained with juice, wipe it with a towel soaked in hot water. Compared with other stains, this stain is easier to clean.
(Coffee, tea) The stains on coffee and tea are all water-based. First, suck them with a dry towel. Towels have strong water absorption and stains are not easy to spread.
(Oil stain) Put a dry towel under the dirty sweater and wipe the stain repeatedly with another towel. Please note that only by constantly wiping can the stain area in the sweater be gradually reduced.
When you get home after a few hours, wash the traces left on your clothes immediately. Choice of detergents-Most people don't know the difference between the detergents we usually use and neutral detergents.
From now on, it is recommended that you use neutral detergent to clean pure wool fabrics. On the clothes marked with pure wool, the metropolis says please clean them with neutral detergent.
(juice) Wipe with a cloth dipped in a small amount of neutral detergent. Pat the clothes gently with a wet cloth soaked in hot water, and 80% of the stains can be cleaned up.
Then, wipe it with a cloth dipped in a small amount of neutral detergent. Be careful not to use too much detergent.
(coffee) wipe with a cloth dipped in lemon juice or vinegar. For stubborn stains that are not easy to clean, you can clean them with a cloth dipped in lemon juice or vinegar.
Only acid can wash away the pigment that has been precipitated for a long time. (Oily) If there are still some stubborn stains that are not easy to clean, wipe them repeatedly with a cloth stained with neutral detergent.
Don't forget, finally clean the detergent with water. Method 2: Based on the characteristics of pure wool fabric, the pure wool fabric is thoroughly cleaned, which is warm in winter and cool in summer and comfortable to wear, and is well received by consumers.
This kind of clothes has all the advantages and disadvantages of wool. If the clothes are dirty, it is necessary to avoid damaging the material as much as possible in order to maintain a long service life.
How to flatten the wrinkled wool on a sweater is characterized by its excellent "elasticity". As long as enough humidity is given, it can be restored to its original state. If there are annoying wrinkles on the sweater, you can adjust the steam electric iron to low temperature and iron it at a distance of 1~2cm from the sweater.
You can also put a towel on the sweater and iron it, so it won't hurt the wool fibers and leave no hot marks. If the collar and cuffs are open, sweaters are woven with thread one after another.
If one thread is interrupted, other parts may go offline. The most easily split parts of a sweater are the neckline, cuffs and shoulder joints.
Before going out, it is best to check whether these parts are open and disconnect them in time.
7. How to dehydrate the sweater?
Sweater dehydration can be done by wrapping the sweater with a dry towel and wringing out the water in the clothes. Sweaters can't be dehydrated by washing machine, because strong centrifugal force will throw them into deformation and shrinkage.
Because woolen sweaters are made of animal hair fibers, frequent use of * * * chemicals will cause damage to woolen sweaters. In order to avoid the shrinkage of sweaters, special wool washing liquid should be used when washing sweaters, and mild laundry detergent can be selected. When washing, warm water of 30℃ should be used, and flat drying should be adopted to avoid deformation during drying.
Extended data
Maintenance of sweaters and woolen goods;
1. When storing cashmere products, underwear should be folded, sealed with plastic bags and placed flat in the closet, while wool coats should be hung in the closet after being covered with plastic bags.
2. Stored cashmere products should be regularly shaded, ventilated, cool and dusted, and the storage environment should be kept dry to avoid sunlight. Secondly, mildew-proof and moth-proof pieces should be placed around the wardrobe to avoid cashmere products from being damp, moldy and insects.
