Woven Fabric is a fabric that combines two sets of interlaced yarns(warp and weft)through a weaving process. Unlike knitted fabrics, the yarns of woven fabrics are arranged interwoven to form a tighter structure, which makes woven fabrics superior in strength, stability, wear resistance, etc. The widespread application of woven fabrics makes it one of the basic fabrics in the textile industry, from daily clothing to home decoration and industrial cloth.
The production process of woven fabrics is mainly divided into the following steps:
Yarn preparation:
In the production process of woven fabrics, yarn preparation is the most basic and critical step. Choosing the right yarn material directly determines the texture, strength, breathability and ultimate use performance of the fabric.
Yarns can be roughly divided into two categories: natural fibers and synthetic fibers:
Natural fibers: such as cotton, wool, silk, linen, etc. These fibers are derived from nature and have good skin-friendliness and breathability. Cotton is soft and hygroscopic, suitable for making close-fitting clothes; wool is warm and is often used in autumn and winter clothing; silk has a smooth texture and natural luster, making it the preferred material for high-end clothing and home textiles.
Synthetic fibers: such as polyester, nylon, acrylic, etc. They have stronger wear resistance, stability and wrinkle resistance, and are suitable for sports fabrics, functional fabrics and industrial uses. Polyester fibers have excellent performance in fast drying and washing resistance, while nylon is widely used for its high strength and toughness.
In order to take into account multiple properties, blended yarns (such as cotton-polyester-blend, cotton-linen blend, etc.) are often used in production to achieve an organic combination of softness and durability. After the pre-treatment processes such as warping, sizing, and pre-shrinking, the yarn has better tension control and weavability, making full preparations for the smooth progress of the weaving process.
Weaving process:
Weaving is an important link in determining the formation of woven fabrics. It mainly weaves warp yarns and wefts in specific rules through the loom to form a stable structure. This structure directly affects the density, feel, elasticity and visual effect of the fabric.
There are three basic weaving methods for woven fabrics:
Plain weaving: The simplest structure and the densest interweaving. The warp and weft yarns are arranged in an "one up and right" manner to make the fabric surface flat and the cloth body firm, which is suitable for making daily necessities such as shirts and bed sheets.
Twill weaving: The warp and weft yarn interlacing method is more complex, forming a cloth surface with oblique texture. This weaving makes the fabric softer, better drape, and a more three-dimensional and textured surface. Denim, khaki, etc. mostly use twill structure.
Satin weaving: By extending the length of the floating thread, the yarn floats more concentratedly on the cloth, giving it a smooth and bright surface effect. This type of fabric feels smooth and has a strong luster, and is commonly found in dresses, evening wear and high-end bedding.
During the weaving process, the parameters such as yarn tension, density, weaving speed need to be controlled, and different loom types should be selected according to the fabric design needs, so as to ensure the uniform fabric structure, comfortable feel and clear texture.
Post-processing:
The finished woven fabric is usually still in the "grey fabric" state, with a rough appearance, a single color, and limited performance. Through scientific and reasonable post-treatment processes, the texture, aesthetics and functionality of the fabric can be greatly improved, and the increasingly diversified market demand can be met.
Common post-treatment processes include:
Finishing treatment: such as desizing, bleaching, merceration, pre-shrinkage, etc., is used to remove impurities remaining on the yarn surface, improve the softness and finish of the cloth surface, and at the same time improve dimensional stability.
Dyeing and printing: Give the fabric a colorful visual effect. The dyeing process selects suitable dyes (such as reactive dyeing, dispersed dyeing, acid dyeing, etc.) according to the type of fiber to ensure that the color is firm and even. The printing process can adopt various methods such as round screen printing, digital printing, thermal transfer printing, etc., to make the pattern clear and rich in layers, and to enhance the decorativeness and market competitiveness of the fabric.
Functional treatment: In order to adapt to different usage scenarios, the fabric can be sorted out with waterproof, oil-proof, anti-fouling, anti-ultraviolet, anti-bacterial, anti-static, flame retardant and other functions. For example, outdoor sportswear fabrics must have water-resistant function, while medical fabrics emphasize antibacterial and odor-proof performance.
Special surface treatment: such as velvet, woven, embossing, coating, composite and other processes can add additional texture and structural changes to the fabric, meeting the dual needs of high-end home textiles, decorative fabrics and customized clothing for aesthetics and functions.
Through the above post-treatment process, the woven fabric not only has upgraded its appearance, but also has stronger adaptability and added value in actual use.
High structural stability: Due to the interwoven yarn arrangement of woven fabrics, the fabric has stronger structural stability, strong resistance to tensile and tear, and usually has a longer service life.
Strong wear resistance: Compared with knitted fabrics, woven fabrics are stronger and have higher wear resistance, so they are particularly common in occasions where high-strength use is required (such as work clothes, outdoor equipment).
Diverse appearance and texture: Through different weaving methods and after-treatment processes, woven fabrics can present different textures and appearances. For example, plain weaves feel smooth, twill feel more three-dimensional, while satin weaves are smoother and shiny.
Strong adaptability: Woven Fabric can be used in all kinds of fabrics from lightweight, soft to thick and strong. According to the needs, the density of the yarn and the tightness of the weaving can be adjusted to create fabrics that meet different uses.
