After explaining the relationship between yarn number and density last time, I believe that everyone has an entry-level understanding of hotel linen, so let's learn from each other about hotel linen knowledge:craftsmanship and fabrics

One:the craft of linen

In addition to the fact that the price of hotel linen is closely related to the density of the fabric, if the products of the same yarn count use more design changes, the price will be higher. For example: a multi-piece bedding set of the same 60-count yarn, if one set uses more jacquard and embroidery, the price will be higher than the other set.

(1) Printing:Printing means that after the cloth is woven, the pattern is printed again. The color of the printed product is bright and bright, and there are many kinds of patterns. Generally, it can be divided into reactive printing and dyeing and pigment printing. Among them, reactive printing and dyeing is that in the process of dyeing and printing, the reactive genes of dyes are combined with fiber molecules, so that dyes and fibers form a whole. The fabric has excellent dustproof performance, high cleanliness and high color fastness. Of course, the cost is much higher than that of pigment printing and dyeing.

(2) Jacquard:Jacquard is currently more popular in the market. Jacquard refers to the fact that the pattern on the fabric is woven with yarns of different colors when weaving. Compared with embroidered fabrics, the cost is higher and the process is more complicated. Softer and finer bedding, better gloss, better hand feel, better quality and better breathability.

(3) Embroidery:Embroidery means that after the cloth is woven, the pattern is embroidered by machine, and the embroidery product has the characteristics of good air permeability and moisture absorption. Embroidery on the fabric with embroidery thread in a special stitch. It is generally divided into three types: piece embroidery, patch embroidery and appliqué embroidery. The comparison points of embroidery products are:

1. Area: The larger and denser the embroidery area, the more expensive the price.

2. Machine embroidery with one stitch to the end: a high-quality embroidery machine can make the embroidery surface achieve the effect of less joints and even stitch spacing at the end of one stitch.

3. Embroidery thread quality: good embroidery thread has the advantages of good gloss, no fading, flexibility and durability, and low shrinkage.

Two: linen fabric

Hotel linen All kinds of fabrics have their own characteristics and prices are different. Let's briefly introduce the characteristics of various fabrics.

(1) Pure cotton:

1. Advantages: pure cotton feels good, comfortable to use, soft and mild, strong absorbent, washable, and less static; high-count and high-density jacquard pure cotton fabric has a particularly large warp and weft density and rich weaving changes, so the fabric feels thick, Good durability, high surface finish, mostly light-colored with natural flowers on the bottom, chic and elegant, this is a better one in pure cotton fabrics;

2. Disadvantages: easy to shrink, easy to wrinkle, poor elasticity, acid and alkali resistance, not suitable for long-term treatment at a high temperature of 100 degrees Celsius;

(2) Polyester cotton

Polyester-cotton generally uses 65% polyester, 35% cotton ratio polyester-cotton fabric, polyester-cotton fabric is divided into two types: plain weave and twill weave;

1. The advantages of plain weave: the cloth surface is thin, the strength and wear resistance are very good, the shrinkage rate is small, the appearance is not easy to be out of shape, and the durability is good;

2. Disadvantages: poor air permeability, poor fit, easy to generate static electricity;

3. Advantages of twill weave: high density, dense and thick, glossy surface, better hand feeling than plain weave;

4. Disadvantages: the same twill polyester-cotton, not commonly used by hotels.

(3) Yarn-dyed pure cotton

Yarn-dyed pure cotton is a kind of fabric. It is woven with warp and weft yarns of different colors. Due to the first dyeing and then weaving, the dye penetration is strong, the color fastness is good, and the heterochromatic yarn fabric has a strong three-dimensional effect and a unique style. .

1. Advantages: the same as pure cotton fabrics;

2. Disadvantages: The shrinkage rate is larger, and it is usually not used by hotels;

Hotel linens generally use pure cotton fabrics, a small amount of polyester-cotton fabrics, and some unconventional ones that use yarn-dyed pure cotton as fabrics, which are mainly used in some characteristic rooms.
