Wool itself is a material that is easily curled. The wool from the sheep is called sheep wool in the industry. Even if the sheep's hair is very thin, we also call it wool, not wool, and of course it can be called fine wool.
Wool is mainly composed of protein. Human use of wool can be traced back to the Neolithic Age, from Central Asia to the Mediterranean and the rest of the world, and became the main textile raw material in Asia and Europe. Wool fibers are soft and flexible and can be used in the manufacture of domestic and industrial textiles such as wool, wool, felts and felts. Wool products are characterized by fullness, warmth and comfortable wearing. They are famous for their luxurious and elegant natural style. Sheep wool occupies a considerable proportion of textile raw materials. The countries with large sheep wool production in the world include Australia, the former Soviet Union, New Zealand, Argentina, and China. Sheep wool is divided into five categories according to fineness and length, such as fine wool, semi-fine wool, long wool, hybrid hair, and coarse wool. Chinese sheep wool varieties include Mongolian wool, Tibetan wool, and Kazakh wool. The main factors determining wool quality are fineness, curl, color, strength, and grass content.
Development History:
Humans began to make clothes with wool as early as 6,000 years ago. Archaeologists have discovered sites in the Middle East, proving that the Middle Eastern people began using wool as a raw material for clothes six thousand years ago. In ancient Rome, wool has been used in Europe, and as with linen and leather, it is the main textile material.
In the Middle Ages, the UK became a major producer of wool due to its more developed shepherd industry. Since the 19th century, the British colonial Oceania has made Oceania countries, such as Australia and New Zealand, the main exporters of wool.
Main origin:
The advantages of world wool production are in the southern hemisphere. Oceania's raw wool production accounts for about 40% of the world's total wool. Australia mainly produces fine hair, New Zealand mainly produces semi-fine hair, and the average annual hair production is more than 5.0 kg. The level of hair production in South America is also high. Australia, New Zealand, the Soviet Union and China are major producers of wool, accounting for about 60% of the world's total wool production. The main exporting countries of wool include Australia and New Zealand, as well as Argentina and Uruguay and South Africa.
The main domestic wool production area is in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The wool in the northeast is best for the textile industry because of its good climate.
Advantage:
1. The advantage of wool is that it is soft, and the fibers are tightly interlocked with each other to form a mass, which can produce heat preservation effect. Generally wool is white. Although it can be dyed, there are also a variety of wools that are naturally black, brown, and the like.
2. The wool itself is water-absorbing and absorbs one-third of its weight. Because of this, the wool itself is not easily burned and has a fireproof effect.
3. The wool itself is antistatic. This is because wool is an organic substance that has moisture inside, so the medical community generally believes that wool does not stimulate the skin.
Wool is an important raw material for the textile industry. It has the advantages of good elasticity, strong hygroscopicity and good thermal insulation. However, due to the high price, there is not much use for the production of nonwoven fabrics. Non-woven fabrics made from good wool are limited to a few high-grade industrial fabrics such as needle-punched paper-making blankets and high-grade needle felts. Generally used are short hair and coarse hair in wool processing, and the production of carpet backing cloth, sandwich layer of acupuncture carpet, thermal insulation material and the like through needle punching, stitching and the like. These types of wool have different lengths, high inclusions, poor spinnability, and difficult processing. The products can be chemically treated to improve quality.
Disadvantages:
Although wool has the advantages of good elasticity, strong hygroscopicity and good warmth retention. It also has the following disadvantages:
1. It will be easily deformed after it has not been processed.
2. It is easy to cause aphids (because wool is an organic substance).
3. It will yellow when stored for too long.
4. Easy to raise the ball.
The difference between wool and cashmere:
The wool from the sheep is called sheep wool in the industry. Even if the sheep's hair is very thin, we also call it wool, not wool, and of course it can be called fine wool.
Only the cashmere from the goat is called cashmere, which is cashmere, Cashmere. Cashmere is a thin layer of fine velvet that grows on the outer skin layer of goats. It is thickened in the cold roots of goats. It grows out in the cold winter, resists the cold, and falls off after warming in spring. It adapts naturally to the climate and is a rare special animal fiber.
1. The scales of wool are tighter and thicker than cashmere, and their fluffing is larger than cashmere. The scales of the cashmere fiber are small and smooth, and there is an air layer in the middle of the fiber, so that the weight is light and the hand feels slippery.
2. The curl of wool is smaller than that of cashmere. The number of curls, crimping rate and curl recovery of cashmere fiber are large. It is suitable for processing knitwear with fullness, softness and elasticity. It is comfortable and natural to wear. Good reduction characteristics, especially in the aspects of not shrinking after washing and good shape retention. Because cashmere has a high degree of natural curling, it is closely arranged in spinning and weaving, and the cohesion is good, so the warmth is good, 1.5 times to 2 times that of wool.
3. The cashmere content of cashmere is higher than that of wool. The stiffness of cashmere fiber is better than that of wool, that is, cashmere is softer than wool.
4. The fineness of the cashmere is smaller than that of the wool, and the appearance quality of the product is better than that of the wool.
5. The cashmere fiber has uniform fineness, its density is smaller than that of wool, and its cross section is mostly regular round, and its products are lighter than wool products.
6. Cashmere has better hygroscopicity than wool, and it can absorb dye well and is not easy to fade. The moisture regain rate is high and the resistance value is relatively large.
7. The acid and alkali resistance of wool is better than that of cashmere. It is also less than the damage of cashmere when it is oxidant and reducing agent.
8. Generally, the pilling resistance of wool products is better than that of cashmere products, but the felting shrinkage is large.
The difference between wool and chemical fiber blended fabric:
The texture characteristics are between pure wool fabric and chemical fiber wool fabric, and there are corresponding differences according to the proportion of blending and the degree of wool processing.
1. Wool and polyester blended fabrics: mostly worsted, the surface is smooth and smooth, and the texture is clear. The luster and color are not as soft as the pure wool fabric, and some are slightly shiny and slightly dazzling. Polyester wool-like fabrics have a firm feel and good resilience, but lack the softness and richness of pure wool fabrics. They have different degrees of stiffness and roughness due to different wool processing. There is almost no wrinkle after the pinch is released. Warmth and fullness are not as good as pure wool fabrics;
2. Wool and acrylic blended fabric: The texture is lighter and fluffy than the pure wool fabric, the hand feels warm and soft, and the hair feel is strong. The color is bright, but not soft enough, it is glaring. The sturdy feel is not as good as the polyester-like wool fabric, which is generally elastic and has creases after grasping. The drape is not good, some are frivolous;
3. Wool and nylon blended fabric: the hand feels somewhat hard and the wrinkle resistance is good. The hair feel is not as good as the woolen fabric;
4. Wool and viscose blended fabric: the gloss is dull, lacking the radiance of natural animal hair. Feeling weak, the body is not stiff. Poor resilience, it is difficult to bounce immediately after the fabric is loosened, easy to wrinkle and difficult to recover. After wearing, the surface is easy to fluff, and the fabric is hard and bun after wet water.
5. 100% pure wool fabric: soft and elastic, with a strong body, a sense of glare, pure color, natural softness. The worst-skinned hands are mostly thin and medium-sized. The surface is smooth and smooth, the texture is exquisite and delicate, the texture is clear, and the drape is better. Most of the coarse-spun types are medium-thick and thick, and the surface is full, the texture is fluffy or dense, and the hand feels warm and rich. The pure wool fabric is clasped by hand, and it is basically free of wrinkles after being loosened by the gripper. It can be faded in a short time with a slight crease and quickly recovered.
