What aspects of textile feel include:

The feel style of fabric is the common requirement of the comfortable function and beautification function of clothing, and is also the basis of the formation of clothing shape and style. The feel style of fabric mainly includes the feel, feel, stiffness, flexibility and drape of fabric.

01.The touch of fabric

The tactile feel of fabric refers to how the skin feels when it touches the fabric

Such as smooth, rough; Soft and scratchy; Smooth, astringent board; Flexible, dull; Hard and soft; Fluffy and stiff; Thick and thin; Plump and loose; Warm, cool, etc

The tactile feel of a fabric is related to many factors of fabric composition:

For example, different raw materials have different sense of touch, silk is smooth, hemp coarse hard and so on;

Similarly, fabrics with different yarn counts have different tactile sensations. Low-count cotton fabrics are rough, high-count cotton fabrics are fine and clean, etc.

Fabrics with different warp and weft densities have different tactile properties, high density fabrics are stiff, sparse fabrics are weak, etc.

Different fabrics have different tactile texture, satin fabric smooth, plain fabric flat, etc.;

Different finishing processes have different tactile sensations, such as smooth and soft liquid ammonia finishing, plump and waxy smooth hair type loose finishing and so on.

02.Feel of fabric

The feel of fabric refers to the identification of certain physical properties of fabric by the feeling of the hand, which is an important aspect of style.

Different FABRICS HAVE different FEEL, such as thick tweed, WOOL-like fabrics to require feel plump, thick, and VERidin, cool wool fabric such as thin fabric to require feel smooth, quite cool.

The factors that affect the hand feel of fabric include raw material, yarn fineness and twist, fabric structure and dyeing and finishing process. Among them, the influence of fiber raw materials is greater, fiber details feel soft, fiber flat feel smooth. Yarn twist is appropriate, fabric feel both soft and quite cool; If the twist is too large, the fabric feel becomes stiff; If the twist is too small, the fabric feels weak.

Hand feel is also related to some mechanical properties of the fabric, such as flexibility, extensibility, resilience and so on

Flexability indicates the ability or stiffness of a fabric to bend easily;

Extensibility indicates the degree of tensile deformation of the fabric;

Resilience indicates the degree of fabric deformation recovery;

The surface heat transfer coefficient and heat transfer velocity reflect the cool or warm condition of the fabric.

The feel of fabric reflects the appearance and comfort of fabric in different degrees.

03.Stiffness and flexibility of fabric

Rigidity and flexibility of fabric refers to the ability of fabric to resist bending stress, also known as flexural stiffness.

The greater the flexural stiffness, the stiffer the fabric. Appropriate bending stiffness means that the fabric is crisp.

The flexural stiffness of the fabric is related to the properties of the raw material, the thickness of the fabric fiber and the density of the fabric.

04.Draping of fabric

Drape of fabric refers to the characteristic of fabric forming a smooth surface with uniform curvature under natural drape. The softer the fabric, the better the drape.

Draping is the performance of soft clothing style must, such as the horn skirt hem, the modeling of the draping wave and the modeling of loose clothing, all need good draping fabric.

Drape is related to rigidity and flexibility. Fabric with high bending stiffness has poor drape. Fabrics with fine fibers and loose tissue have better drape.
