What Are The Classification Of Woolen Raw Materials?

The wool fiber used for wool fabrics in the market is basically made of wool, goat hair, camel wool and rabbit hair.

Sheep hair

The most commonly used sweaters, woolen fabrics, blankets and so on are mainly sheep's hair.

In the knitting industry, wool is used as the abbreviation of wool because of the largest consumption of wool.

The world's most productive countries are Australia, CIS, New Zealand, Argentina and China.

The number and series of wool are the basis for evaluating the grade and quality of wool. The higher the number of branches, the better the quality, the higher the series, the worse the quality.

The "Australian wool", which is always admired by sheep, belongs to Merino sheep and is named after Australia.

Its fine and long wool fiber is the best quality of wool sheep.

Others, such as New Zealand, South America, European countries, the Southern Alps and so on, have been raised and enjoyed high reputation in the world.

Snow blue is also a common variety.

Shetland Mao originally called Shetland wool, and was named after the Shetland archipelago in Scotland, England.

Because of the fuzz and the more coarse hairs and shortens, the natural mixture of snow and blue has formed the unique and full, fluffy, soft, fine, glossy and elastic features of the snow fabric. It has a rough style.

However, because of the small output and the shortage of demand, the so-called "Jersey sweater" sold on the market is mostly made of semi fine wool from New Zealand.

Some sweaters, known as "snow blue" sweaters, sell less than 100 yuan or even tens of dollars each. They are actually imitation products of the snow blue style. Some of them are made of many kinds of wool, and can only be made of coarse wool, and the price is cheaper.

There are also cheap and popular wool goats, which are actually lambs, which are more coarse and make wool.

Two, goat hair

Goats are coarse wool and dead wool that are cut on the goat's wool.

Generally, the fine wool on the goat's wool is very short, it can't be spun, and the coarse wool can only make brush, brush and so on, except Ma Haimao.

Ma Haimao, the Angola goat hair, is produced in Turkey, Angola, North America and South Asia. It is a kind of high-quality wool fiber with smooth surface, little curl, long and thick, silky softness, strong luster, excellent resilience, abrasion resistance and high strength. It is an ideal raw material for weaving jacquard blankets, plush, woolen coats, artificial fur and other advanced fabrics.

The rough and needle knitted Ma Hai sweater, which is covered with soft, silky fog fibers, constitutes a noble, lively and rugged style of clothing, and is deeply loved by people.

In the northwest of China, Zhong Wei goat hair belongs to mohair.

But in the market, some people call the "fluffy" acrylic bulked yarn called "Ma Haimao" for sale, which leads to misunderstanding. Such acrylic spun yarn can only be called "imitation Ma Haimao" at best.

Three, alpaca wool

Camel wool (ALPACA), also known as "camel wool", is 20-40 centimeters long and white, brown, gray, black and other colors, because 90% produced in Peru, also known as "Peru wool".

It has two varieties, one is fiber curling, silver lustre, the other is straight fiber, less curl, similar to Ma Haimao's luster, and often blended with other fibers, as a high-quality material for making high-end clothing.

At present, most of the camel wool on the market are products from Eastern Europe.

Four, rabbit hair

Rabbit hair is loved by people for its characteristics of light, fine, soft, warm and cheap.

It is made up of soft fur and coarse hair. It is mainly made of ordinary rabbit and Angola rabbit hair.

The difference between rabbit hair and wool is that the fiber is slender and the surface is very smooth and easy to identify.

Because rabbit hair is low in strength and is not easy to spin separately, it can be blended with wool or other fibers to make knitted fabrics, such as knitted fabrics, women's clothing and so on.

The concept and logo of pure wool

In the market, people often see wool products have "pure wool" or "100%" wool two signs, some people think that "pure wool" is equivalent to "100% wool", in fact not.

Literally, "pure wool" should be 100% wool.

But in fact, in the production process, in order to improve the textile properties of fabrics and make fabrics more durable, some products often add some non wool fibers of polyester or nylon.

National standards are clearly specified for the amount of added.

In this way, we will understand.

The pure wool product is not 100% wool, but the pure wool product is added to the non wool fiber according to the stipulated range, so it should be lower than the price of the 100% wool product.

In a word, we should try our best to identify woolen fabrics in a booming market, and we can analyze them from the price.

Of course, the safest thing is to increase the understanding of product knowledge.

Identification of cashmere, alpaca, and Ma Haimao

Cashmere

Cashmere is from the bottom of the goat fine villi, goats grow on the alpine grassland, such as China's Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Qinghai, Liaoning and other places.

China is a large cashmere producer in the world. Cashmere production accounts for more than 1/2 of the world's total output, and cashmere is the top quality in Inner Mongolia.

Cashmere fiber is characterized by fine and soft.

Its fabric feels soft and smooth. Hikaruzawa Youwa has much lighter weight than the same thickness of wool fabric, and most of them are suede style.

Generally speaking, light colored cashmere coats are made from many sources and have good quality. Dark colors are mostly made from purple velvet or green velvet.

Two, alpaca wool

Alpaca comes from an animal called "Alpaca" (also called "Alba"), which is mainly grown in the Andes of Peru.

The Andes are 4500 meters above sea level, with a great difference in temperature between day and night, -20 to -18 degrees in the night, and 15~18 degrees in the daytime.

Alpacas, which live in such a harsh environment, are naturally able to withstand extreme temperature changes.

Camel hair can not only moisturize, but also effectively resist sunlight radiation. Alpaca wool fiber contains a microscopic pulp cavity, so its thermal insulation performance is better than wool, cashmere and mohair.

In addition, alpaca wool fibers have more than 17 natural colors: from white to black, and a series of brown and gray with different shades, which are the most natural coloring fibers in special animal fibers.

We see "Albas" in the market, that is, sheep's camel hair; and "Su Li" is a kind of alpaca hair, and mostly refers to the adult camel hair, the fiber is long and the color is beautiful.

Alpaca wool fabric feels smooth and has excellent thermal insulation.

Three, Ma Haimao

Ma Haimao refers to Angola goat hair, which is mainly produced in South Africa. Its characteristics are coarse fiber, small curl and good luster.

Ma Haimao's fabric feels smooth and full of gloss.

Ma Haimao and alpaca wool fabrics are mostly short hairs.
