What is jacquard cotton? What is the difference between pure cotton fabric and jacquard fabric?

The clothes we wear are made of many different fabrics. You may have heard of noodles, polyester, and silk, but do you know jacquard cotton? I believe that many people are as confused as I am. Let's take a look at it now.

Jacquard cotton is also called cotton jacquard. Jacquard cotton is different from printed cotton. Jacquard cotton is usually a textile composed of two different warp and weft directions. The pattern on it is woven, so the requirements for the raw cotton are extremely high.

1. Different definitions

1. Cotton fabric

Pure cotton fabric is also called pure cotton fabric. Pure cotton fabric is made of cotton as raw material and produced by textile technology.

2. Jacquard fabric

The warp and weft weaves are used to form patterns when the fabric is woven. The yarn count is fine and the requirements for raw cotton are extremely high. It can be divided into shuttle weaving, warp knitting jacquard and weft knitting jacquard. Weft knitted fabrics have good elasticity when pulled horizontally and vertically, while warp knitting and shuttle weaving jacquards have no elasticity when pulled horizontally and vertically.

2. Different characteristics

1. Cotton fabric

Cotton fabrics have the characteristics of moisture absorption, moisture retention, heat resistance, alkali resistance, and hygiene. Generally speaking, pure cotton fabrics have good moisture absorption and heat resistance, and are comfortable to wear.

2. Jacquard fabric

The patterns on the fabric are woven, not ordinary printing or embroidery. The warp and weft are changed to form the pattern when the fabric is woven. The yarn count is fine, and the needle thread density is high. It does not deform or fade during use, and it is comfortable. Jacquard is very popular in the market. Satin bedding looks high-grade and tasteful. To distinguish the quality of satin, you need to compare the yarn count and density.

Jacquard cotton is a fabric that is suitable for a wide range of people and can often be made into clothing or bedding. It is very easy to take care of, very comfortable to wear in daily life, and thin, soft, and breathable, so it is very popular. However, jacquard cotton also has its disadvantages, for example, it is easy to fade, and it is easy to lose elasticity over time, and it cannot be exposed to excessive sunlight when washing.

According to the different methods of weaving jacquard cotton, it is divided into three different types of jacquard cotton fabrics: plain weave, twill and satin, and the sensory effects produced are also different.

First of all, for the washing of jacquard cotton fabric clothing, clothes of this fabric are not suitable for washing in a washing machine. It is best to soak the clothes in cold water for about five to ten minutes, and then use low-foaming detergent or neutral soap to gently wash them; after washing, the clothes should not be exposed to the sun or dried in a dryer. The best maintenance method is to place them in a cool and ventilated place to dry naturally, because the ultraviolet rays in the sun can easily cause the jacquard cotton fabric to fade and age, and after washing, do not twist the water hard to avoid wrinkles. You should gently shake it open and dry it; for jacquard cotton fabric clothing that is not worn temporarily, when storing it, you must first wash it clean, then iron it dry and then store it to prevent mildew or bacterial growth.
