What is the difference between combed cotton yarn and comb cotton yarn?
Combed and carded cotton yarn are two common types of cotton yarn, and there are some significant differences in production process, fiber quality, and the performance of the final product. Understanding the difference between the two will help the procurement and production decisions in the textile industry, especially in fabric selection and quality control.
First of all, the production process of Combed Cotton Yarn is different from Carded Cotton Yarn. Carding is a process of initial treatment of cotton, with the aim of removing staple fibers and impurities in cotton, and breaking the cotton into loose fiber bundles, which are then converted into cotton yarns through a spinning process. Combed cotton yarn is a process of further fine combing based on combing. In the combing process, the machine will comb the cotton fibers more finely, removing shorter, messier fibers, leaving longer and more uniform fibers. This process makes the fibers of combed cotton yarn more slender and smooth, thereby increasing its strength and smoothness.
Compared with combed cotton yarn, the fibers are more uniform, the yarn is smoother, and the surface is more delicate. This allows combed cotton yarn to produce more refined and durable fabrics during the weaving process, especially for high-end clothing and home textile products. Combed cotton yarn has higher strength and dyeing performance is better than combed cotton yarn. The fabric is more delicate and soft, and has better comfort. It is suitable for products with high requirements such as high-end T-shirts, bed sheets, towels, etc.
On the other hand, carded cotton yarn is relatively simplified in the production process. Although the uniformity and smoothness of the fibers are poor, their prices are more economical and suitable for large-scale production. Therefore, they are widely used in the production of ordinary clothing and bulk consumer goods. The fabric of comb cotton yarn is relatively rough, and the breaking strength of the yarn is not as good as that of comb cotton yarn, but it still has good breathability and comfort, suitable for daily wear and some household items.
With the advancement of the concept of environmental protection and sustainable development, the application of recycled cotton yarn has gradually increased. The production process of combed and carded cotton yarns can be produced environmentally friendly by recycling waste textiles or cotton residues, and this trend is attracting more and more attention from textile companies. Companies like Suzhou Hanyun New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. not only focus on improving the production process and quality control of cotton yarn, but also actively promote sustainable development and green environmental protection concepts. Through continuous innovation and cooperation, they provide more high-quality and high added value. fiber products.
There are obvious differences in craftsmanship, quality and use of combed cotton yarn. Combed cotton yarn is suitable for products that have high quality and comfort requirements, while carded cotton yarn is more suitable for bulk production and cost-sensitive products. With the changes in market demand and technological advancement, the two will be more widely used in the textile industry, providing diversified choices for customers with different needs.
