Cloth introduction and pictures 1 1. Cotton.

Cotton belongs to plant fiber;

The main cotton producers are the United States, China, Brazil and India.

Characteristics of cotton: When cotton meets water, its strength will not decrease, but will increase by 10%, thus establishing the advantage that cotton can be washed.

Advantages of cotton:

(1) feels good;

(2) Strong hygroscopicity and quick drying; (Cotton has also become the darling of summer fabric selection)

(3) easy decontamination.

Step 2: flax

Flax belongs to plant fiber;

The main producers of flax raw materials are Russian, China, Netherlands, German, Belgian and French.

Outside the two continents, only a few countries such as Egypt, Brazil, Chile and Argentina grow flax fiber.

A. Characteristics of flax

Soft, the length is generally about 2 "~ 36", so the cloth made can be very thin, without feathering and static problems.

B. Advantages of flax

(1) Flax is more hygroscopic and dries faster than cotton (it is the most ideal cloth in summer).

(2) The strength is very high, about twice that of cotton.

(3) Washing with water can improve the strength of flax by 10%, and dry cleaning can also be used.

(4) Good touch

(5) The luster is better than that of cotton.

(6) There is no electrostatic problem.

(7) Flax has good heat resistance.

C. Disadvantages of flax

(1) The pleats are very poor (poor recovery) and easy to break at the pleats, so when designing clothes, avoid designing pleated skirts.

(2) It is easy to be eaten by insects and moldy

(3) there will be slight shrinkage

D. Derivative uses of flax

Can be used as handkerchiefs, napkins, tablecloths, gauze and so on.

Step 3: wool

Wool has different plucking methods (shearing and plucking).

Sheep themselves have different names because of different kinds, including beautiful slave sheep.

Because of its high fiber density and excellent wool quality, our wool has become a treasure in the world wool skin, which is what we call Australian wool.

A. Characteristics of wool

(1) easy to pilling (it will shrink when it meets water, heat and friction, and it will intertwine with each other to pilling. )

(2) Wool has natural curl, which is another reason why wool is easy to keep warm (because the gap caused by curl can increase cohesion and isolate the air layer, it has heat preservation effect).

(3) The wool length is between 1 "and 18".

B. Advantages of wool

(1) thermal insulation

(2) Good touch

(3) Wool is not flammable, but it will turn into ashes when directly exposed to fire (it can be used for carpets).

C. disadvantages of wool

(1) wool shrinks when it meets water (strength decreases by 25%).

(2) Most woolen clothes need dry cleaning.

(3) wool is acid and alkali resistant (as opposed to cotton)

(4) Avoid using chlorine (CI) bleach for wool, which makes clothes easy to turn yellow; Only hydrogen peroxide can be selected.

(Hz02 bleach)

D. Maintenance methods of wool

Because wool is easy to pilling and shrink, it is advisable to use neutral detergent and appropriate water temperature to keep wool as new.

E. Derivative uses of wool

Can be used as carpets, blankets, sweaters, wool and other ways.

Cloth introduction and picture 2 Cloth is a common material in clothing, shoes, hats and decorative materials. Including chemical fiber, linen, canvas, nylon, flannel and other fabrics. Cotton, linen, silk and other fabrics can be used to make clothes, and fabrics also play a considerable role in decoration and display, which is often the main force that can not be ignored in the whole sales space. A large number of fabrics are used for wall decoration, partition and background treatment, and can also form a good commercial space display style.

There are many kinds of fabrics with rich characteristics. Among them, cotton cloth is the floorboard of all kinds of cotton textiles. Mostly used to make fashion, casual wear, underwear and shirts. Its advantages are easy to keep warm, soft and close-fitting, moisture absorption and air permeability. Its disadvantage is that it is easy to shrink and wrinkle, and its appearance is not crisp and beautiful, so it must be ironed often when wearing it. Flax is a kind of cloth made of hemp, flax, ramie, jute, sisal, banana and other hemp plant fibers.

Generally used to make casual clothes and work clothes, 20 13 has also been used to make ordinary summer clothes. Silk is the general name of all kinds of silk fabrics woven from silk. Like cotton cloth, it has many varieties and different personalities. It can be used to make all kinds of clothes, especially women's clothes. Woolen fabric, also known as woolen fabric, is the general name of all kinds of fabrics made of wool and cashmere.

Leather is a kind of tanned animal fur fabric. Mostly used to make fashion and winter clothes. It can be divided into leather and fur. Chemical fiber is short for chemical fiber. It is a kind of fiber and textile made of polymer compounds. Blending is a fabric made of natural fibers and chemical fibers in a certain proportion, which is used to make various garments.

It is a very wrong stacking method to pile together at will regardless of the material of cloth, which is not conducive to ventilation. If it is stored for a long time, the middle part will be moldy, spots will appear on the cotton cloth, and the fastness of the cloth will also decrease. You can tear the cloth by hand. Everyone knows that such cloth will become a waste cloth. The correct stacking method is to classify and stack the fabrics neatly, so that stacking is convenient for management and you can know what materials you want at a glance.

Advantages are conducive to ventilation and fire prevention. It is best to put cotton cloth in a well-ventilated place, such as the place closest to doors and windows. The width of the door is one meter, and there are 6 to 7 rolls in one row. Small rolls are grouped in the middle of both sides of each row, which is not easy to collapse. The second floor must be placed horizontally, and the number must be the same as that of the bottom floor. Three layers are placed horizontally, the number is the same, and so on. When storing cloth in low or damp places, special attention should be paid to moisture-proof, mildew-proof, moisture-proof and waterproof, and the passage should be smooth. It's best to put a layer of wood under the cloth.

Cloth introduction and picture collection 3 introduces several African fabrics.

Nigeria: adil blue dyed fabric (Adire)

Adil textiles are indigo dyed fabrics made by Yoruba women in southwest Nigeria using various anti-dyeing techniques.

Nigeria has a thousand-year history of blue dyeing technology, which is called Adire, which means "tie" and "dye" in Yoruba.

Local women will collect plant leaves with indigo, dry them and make them into balls, then add alkaline solvent to ferment and dye them. Tie the cloth into different patterns, and the dyed patterns will be different. In addition, Yoruba women will also apply flour paste or cassava paste on the surface of undyed cotton cloth, and dye it after the batter is dry, so that the part coated with batter will not be dyed blue and the pattern on the cloth will be more exquisite.

Ghana: Adingkla

Let's first introduce the Adincra symbol. This symbol originated from the kingdom of Ashanti and has become a symbol of Ghana. Each symbol has its own special meaning and concept, or refers to something or conveys traditional wisdom, and is often associated with proverbs.

These symbols are widely used in the decoration of fabrics and pottery. Traditionally, only the royal family and religious leaders would wear clothes surrounded by Adin Crabbe on special occasions, but now anyone can wear them. With the rise of tourism in recent years, it can also be seen in tourism industries such as T-shirts and jewelry.

A dye made of Badie (a kind of hard bark) is needed to make the Adenylcrabbe, and the pattern is printed on white, black or dark brown cotton cloth. Soak the bark in water for one day, tap the bark to get juice, and boil it for another two days to get the black sticky dye Adinkra Aduru. Before bronzing, brush out squares on the cloth with a brush, and then cover each square with a symbolic Adecara symbol, and a classic Adecara fabric is finished.

Mali: mud dyed cloth

Mud-dyed cloth was originally named Bògòlan or Bògòlanfini, which comes from Bambara language in Mali, West Africa. Bògòlan means "made of mud" and fini means "cloth", so it is also called mud cloth. Mud dyeing technology has been spread for more than 800 years, which can be traced back to12nd century and developed by local Bambara people.

Bambara people are the largest ethnic group in Mali with a population of nearly 10 million; They attach great importance to family and unity. Usually, the villagers in Bambara Village are made up of blood relatives. A village is like a big family, caring and helping each other. Therefore, compared with other ethnic groups in West Africa, the houses in Bambara Village are much larger, and some houses can even accommodate 60 people.

In the traditional life of Bambara people, mud dyed cloth plays an important role. For male hunters, mud-dyed cloth expresses the connection and respect with nature and gives them the courage to face challenges; In some special occasions and ceremonies, such as birth, marriage, childbirth or funeral, women will wear ceremonial clothes made of mud-dyed cloth.

The geometric patterns on mud-dyed cloth are abstract written records describing their daily life, historical events or heroic deeds. Traditionally, mud-dyed cloth is made by women, who are taught by their mothers to their daughters and take them from twisting, weaving to dyeing. In recent years, due to the increasing demand for mud-dyed fabrics in European and American markets, many young men have joined the production, and the gender restrictions in the original process have also changed.

Today, Mali extends from the savanna in the south to the center of the Sahara desert in the north, and agriculture is Mali's main economic activity. The warm and relatively humid climate in southern Mali has been suitable for planting cotton since ancient times, which has also promoted the development of weaving and mud dyeing technology. However, it was not until Bambara established the Mali Empire in the13rd century that the mud dyeing technology developed rapidly and spread to other parts of the empire, including Mali and Burkina Faso, and later became the center of mud dyeing cloth in Beledougou.
