What kind of fabric is poplin?

This is a kind of technologically modified fabric. It is generally a plain fine fabric woven from cotton, polyester, wool, cotton or blended yarn. It feels similar to silk. The name poplin comes from the former counties of Licheng and Penglai in Shandong Province. The fabric woven in the houses of feudal nobles or officials has a feel and appearance similar to silk, so it is called poplin. Poplin This fabric is also woven with a plain weave. Different from plain cloth, the ratio of warp density to weft density is generally 1.8 to 2.2:1. Since the warp density is significantly greater than the weft density, a diamond-shaped grain pattern composed of raised parts of the warp yarns is formed on the surface of the fabric. To weave poplin fabric, pure cotton or polyester-cotton fine yarn is commonly used. According to the different yarns used, it is divided into yarn poplin, half-thread poplin (with strands in the warp direction), and thread poplin (with strands in both warp and weft directions). According to different spinning processes, it is divided into carded poplin and combed poplin. Divided by weaving patterns, there are hidden stripe poplin, satin stripe poplin, jacquard poplin, colorful stripe poplin, flash poplin, etc. According to the printing and dyeing processing conditions of natural poplin gray cloth, there are bleached poplin, variegated poplin and printed poplin. All kinds of poplin fabrics have the characteristics of clean and smooth surface, fine texture, full grain, soft luster, soft and waxy feel. However, poplin fabric has a major disadvantage, that is, garments sewn with it are prone to longitudinal cracks. This is because the warp and weft densities of poplin are very different, and the strength of the warp and weft yarns is unbalanced, causing the warp strength to be nearly twice as much as the weft strength. result.
