The difference between polar fleece and lambskin, which one is better?

Polar fleece and lambskin are both popular clothing fabrics in winter in recent years. Many people don’t know where to start when choosing. Today, the editor will introduce to you the differences between polar fleece and lambskin.

Lambswool is made of natural wool, which is soft, smooth and elastic; polar fleece is a synthetic 100% polyester fiber, which is warm and lightweight. Lambswool is taken from the first shearing of 7-month-old lambs, also known as lamb wool or sheep shearing; polar fleece is made by weaving polyester fibers through a large circular knitting machine, and then processed through complex processes such as dyeing, wool drawing, combing, shearing, and polarizing.

Lambskin and polar fleece each have their own advantages, and you can choose according to your personal preferences.

Characteristics of lambskin

1. The appearance is light and clean, with good air permeability and drape

2. The texture is soft, thin and transparent, and the hand feels smooth and elastic

3. It is very comfortable to wear and very elegant

4. After high temperature shrinkage treatment, it is not easy to deform and wrinkle

5. Good physical properties, high fiber strength, wear resistance, and durability

6. Good chemical properties, alkali resistance, chemical resistance, insect resistance and mildew resistance.

Polar fleece is woven by a large circular knitting machine. After weaving, the grey fabric is first dyed, and then processed by a variety of complex processes such as napping, combing, shearing, and polarizing. The front side of the fabric is napped, and the polarizing is fluffy and dense, but not easy to shed or pilling. The back side is sparsely and evenly napped, and the fluffy elasticity is very good. It is generally made of polyester and feels soft.

Both fabrics are very warm and are artificial synthetic fabrics. Lambskin is generally a high-speed warp knitted fabric of 70% polyester and 30% acrylic. It feels soft and fluffy like lambskin, is not easy to deform, and is more durable than natural wool products. Polar fleece is generally a synthetic 100% polyester fiber, which is warm and lightweight, and has a high cost-effectiveness.

Lambswool

Features: Natural material, soft, smooth and elastic, high cost;

Lamb wool is a serious winter fabric. Its English name is LambWool. It is taken from the wool of a 7-month-old lamb, which is the first shearing. It is also called lamb wool or sheep shearing. The length and fineness of lamb wool are between wool and cashmere. It is softer and smoother than ordinary wool, and its warmth retention is better than ordinary wool. Its value is between ordinary wool and cashmere, that is, it is a "high-grade wool" material second only to cashmere, and its cost is relatively high, so its price is naturally higher.

Lambswool

Features: It is not natural, but a synthetic chemical fiber product with low cost;

Lambswool is actually relatively easy to distinguish, but when it comes to lambskin, the "confusing behavior" is even more serious. Many merchants even confuse lambskin with wool and cashmere, but in fact there is no "lambskin" in the fabric at all. It is just a common name, and it can also be said to be imitation cashmere or fake lambskin. It is a synthetic product and has nothing to do with wool or cashmere. It is generally a high-speed warp knitted fabric of 70% polyester and 30% acrylic. It feels soft and fluffy like lambskin, and it is not easy to deform. It is also more durable than natural wool products. As a very common fabric in fashion and home textiles, the cost price of lambskin is much lower than that of lambskin, which is a cost-effective choice.

Polar Fleece

Features: Artificially synthesized 100% polyester fiber, warm and lightweight, cost-effective;

It is made by weaving polyester through a large circular knitting machine, and then processed through complex processes such as dyeing, napping, combing, shearing, and polarizing. According to the different specifications of polyester, it is also divided into short fibers and long fibers. Short fibers are more expensive than long fibers. Generally, short fibers are used to make clothes, while long fibers are used to make home carpets, etc. Compared with lamb wool and lambskin, polar fleece has fluffy wool and obvious texture. The disadvantage is that it may be unkempt and shed. Polar fleece is light, soft and cold-resistant. Its cold resistance is 4 times that of cotton clothes of the same quality.
