What does the label on wool mean?

Label of wool: The trademark of wool is a small label attached to the braid of wool. , usually with 3 digits printed on it. The first digit represents the raw material of wool, and there are 10 kinds from 0 to 9; the last two digits represent the count of single yarn. The larger the two digits, the finer the yarn, and the number of turns in each small skein is The more, the less material is used to weave clothes.

If you add a "4" in front of the three-digit number, it means it is a trial product (it also means a new product).

1) All-wool yarn: the first digit of the product number is 1 or 2. The first digit 1 indicates that the yarn is spun from heterogeneous wool. Heterogeneous wool refers to a piece of wool that has different thicknesses from top to bottom, and has thicker and rougher hairs.

The graded wool in domestic wool is all heterogeneous wool. Wool grades are different, and the content of coarse cavity hair is also more or less. For example, item numbers 168 and 170 wool are made of domestic third- and fourth-grade wool. There are many coarse-chambered wools poking out on the surface, which makes it rough to the touch and tends to become stiff when woven into clothes. When selecting this type of yarn, choose coarse-chambered wool and It is better to have fewer yarn defects.

Item No. 180 and 116 yarns are made of first- and second-grade domestic wool, with less coarse-cavity hairs on the surface. Especially the fine wool spun with first-class wool, almost no coarse-cavity hairs can be seen and the feel is Soft and elastic, with a smooth appearance, but the color is not bright enough and the price is relatively high.

The best quality wool is all made of homogeneous wool. The count of imported wool and domestic wool is called homogeneous wool. There are certain standards for wool fineness and length of homogeneous wool. The first digit of the product number of this kind of yarn is 2. For example, 268, 272, 275, 219, etc.

2) Blended wool: Wool blended with wool-type acrylic fiber and heterogeneous wool. The first digit of the product number is 7. Compared with heterogeneous wool yarn, it improves the strength and service life of the wool and improves the color and reduced pilling. The first digit of the product number is 4 for wool blended with homogeneous wool and heterogeneous wool. The first number 6 represents the blend of homogeneous wool and acrylic fiber.

3) Chemical fiber yarn: the first digit of the product number is 8. It is characterized by bright color, moisturizing, non-fading, chubby appearance and light and soft feel.

4) The first number on the sign is 3; it means imported wool and viscose fiber blend;

5) The first number on the sign is 5, which means domestic wool and viscose fiber. Viscose fiber blend;

6) The first number on the label is 0, which means blending between goat hair grades.

7) The first number on the sign is 9, which is a variety of wool that does not fall into the above range.

Quality of wool

To judge the quality of wool, in addition to recognizing the brand number, it is generally judged from three aspects: color, feel, and consistency.

First, the strips should be plump, even, smooth, and puffy, and there should be no defects on the surface. Single yarn joints are allowed in production, but they cannot exceed the specified standards, that is, one joint is allowed for a small skein (50kg); three joints are allowed for a large yarn (250kg). If this standard is exceeded, the yarn will be downgraded.

Second, when selecting yarn based on color, pay attention to the presence of colorless flowers. In order to avoid color differences, it is best to use the same vat number.

Third, the hand should be soft, firm yet flexible, and elastic; neither rotten nor dry. In short, good quality wool has bright and eye-catching colors, bright and soft luster, four-ply and flat clothes, a round, smooth appearance, no yarn defects, and a soft and elastic feel. After being knitted into clothes, the stitches have a clear texture, which is not only comfortable to wear, but also durable.
