Fabric types include natural fiber fabrics. These fabrics are mainly made of natural fibers such as cotton, linen, silk, and wool, and have good moisture absorption, breathability, and comfort. Cotton fabrics are soft and skin-friendly, suitable for summer clothing and underwear; linen fabrics are cool and breathable, often used for shirts and home furnishings; silk fabrics are smooth and lustrous, suitable for high-end clothing; wool fabrics are warm and are often used for autumn and winter coats and sweaters. Chemical fiber fabrics, such as polyester, nylon, acrylic, and spandex, are also included.
Chemical fiber fabrics are characterized by abrasion resistance, quick drying, wrinkle resistance, and vibrant colors, making them suitable for sportswear, workwear, outdoor clothing, and functional fabrics. Some chemical fibers can also be blended with natural fibers, combining the comfort of natural fibers with the durability of chemical fibers.
There are also blended fabrics and functional fabrics. Blended fabrics are made by blending natural and chemical fibers in a certain proportion, taking into account comfort, durability and easy wearability, such as cotton-polyester blended fabrics; functional fabrics are finished or processed according to special needs, and have properties such as waterproof, windproof, UV protection and moisture wicking, and are widely used in outdoor clothing, sports equipment and industrial protective clothing.
