Which is better, velvet or coral fleece? Advantages and disadvantages of velvet and coral fleece

There are many kinds of fabrics for clothes. Different fabrics have different wearing effects and prices. Velvet and coral fleece are both relatively light and warm materials, and are very comfortable to wear.

In terms of fabric quality, velvet is definitely better than coral fleece, but in terms of fabric sales, coral fleece is higher than velvet. If it is close-fitting clothing, coral fleece is more suitable. But if it is outerwear, velvet fabric will look elegant. How can we distinguish these two materials? First, feel the texture. Velvet is made of silk and cotton yarn, while coral fleece is made of fiber, so velvet has a better texture. Secondly, coral fleece has a bright color, while velvet has a light color. Finally, observe the fluff. In most cases, the fluff of coral fleece is softer and longer than that of velvet.

Advantages of velvet fabric

1. Velvet fabrics are all made of high-quality cotton yarn, mainly including printing, plain, jacquard, yarn-dyed and burnt-out series. The raw materials include 65T/35C, 80 cotton/20 polyester, 80 polyester/20 cotton, bamboo fiber cotton velvet, etc.

2. Compared with core-spun silk, velvet has much higher elasticity, feels better and has better warmth retention.

3. The velvet fabric is designed and woven with imported materials. It does not deform after washing, and its wear resistance is increased by 3 times. It also has supporting and massage effects.

Disadvantages of velvet fabric: Due to the characteristics of velvet itself, the surface is composed of dense small fluff. During the production and processing of the fabric, some small fluff particles will remain on the clothes, which is inevitable. Generally, they will be washed out in the first few washes, especially in dark clothes such as black, royal blue, and carbon gray. In addition, static electricity is easily generated in a dry environment.

Advantages of coral fleece

Coral fleece is made of imported DTY ultrafine fiber. Compared with other textiles, its advantages are particularly obvious: it feels soft, delicate, does not shed, and is easy to dye.

1. Soft feel: The single filament has fine fineness and small bending modulus, so the fabric has excellent softness.

2. Good coverage: Due to the high density between fibers and large specific surface area, it has good coverage.

3. Good wearability: As the fiber has a large specific surface area, it has a higher wicking effect and breathability, and is comfortable to wear. Good dirt removal: As the fiber fabric is soft and can fit closely to the object being wiped, it has a good cleaning effect.

4. Optical property: Due to the large specific surface area of ​​fiber, the light reflection on the surface of fiber assembly is poor. Therefore, the fabric made of this fiber has elegant and soft color.

Disadvantages of coral fleece: It is easy to generate static electricity. Due to the weaving principle, it will shed hair. It is recommended to wash it with water before wearing. (In winter, the skin is dry, so you can apply moisturizer before wearing, or use anti-static detergent when washing). Because it will shed floating hair, it is recommended that people with skin allergies and asthma should avoid wearing this fabric.

1. Velvet

Velvet is the name of a silk fabric with velvet warp forming velvet loops or fluff on the surface of the fabric. It is also called Zhang velvet, named after its origin in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, China. It has been mass-produced in the Ming Dynasty and is one of the traditional Chinese fabrics. There are two types: flowered and plain, such as the double-sided velvet four-sided Ruyi embroidered dragon patch women's clothing and blue single-sided velvet women's clothing unearthed from the Ming Dingling Mausoleum in Beijing. Velvet uses mulberry silk as raw material or mulberry silk as warp, and cotton yarn as weft interlaced ground tissue, with mulberry silk or rayon as velvet loops. When weaving, a velvet rod (thin iron wire) is woven into it after weaving four velvet threads. When it is woven to a certain length (about 20 cm), it is cut along the iron wire with a cutter on the machine, and the iron wire is separated from the fabric to form velvet. This velvet can make the pattern clearly displayed on the satin surface and have a luster according to the design of the pattern. There are two forms of patterns that make up the fabric, one is velvet flower satin ground, that is, Zhang satin; the other is velvet ground satin flower, that is, velvet. It comes in single or double colors, and is gorgeous and luxurious. It can be used as autumn and winter clothing or high-end sofa covers, curtains, etc.

2. Mink cashmere
