The key to identifying fabric quality is to understand the material and evaluation standards of the fabric. The following are some common fabric quality evaluation criteria:
1. Material composition: The material composition of fabric is one of the important factors that determine its quality. Natural fibers such as cotton, silk, wool, etc. are usually of better quality, while synthetic fibers such as polyester, nylon, etc. are of relatively poor quality. High-quality materials are usually soft, breathable, and hygroscopic.
2. Adhesion strength: The adhesive strength of fabrics refers to whether the fabrics can be firmly bonded together after processing. Bond strength can be assessed by checking that seams are even and tight and that thread ends are neat.
3. Weave density: Weave density refers to the total number of yarns in the fabric per unit length. The higher the weave density of a fabric, the better the quality. Weave density can be judged by observing the fineness and feel of the fabric.
4. Fabric smoothness: A good fabric should have a smooth surface with no obvious wrinkles or distortions. You can carefully observe whether the surface of the fabric is flat under the light, and touch the fabric with your hands to see if it is smooth.
5. Color fastness: The color fastness of the fabric refers to whether the fabric will fade after dyeing or whether the color will bleed during the washing process. Color fastness can be assessed by gently wiping the fabric on a damp cloth and observing whether the color comes off the cloth.
6. Others: Specific evaluation criteria can also be considered according to different fabric types, such as the gloss of silk, the thickness of woolen cloth, etc.
In addition to understanding the evaluation standards of fabric quality, you can also get more information about fabric quality from professional shopping instructors or consulting counter staff. In addition, you can also carefully check the label of the fabric when purchasing, which indicates the fabric composition and washing method, which can also be used as a reference.
