Linen is one of the earliest natural fibers used by humans, with a history of over 10,000 years. As a rare natural fiber, it accounts for merely 1.5% of the total natural fiber output. Thanks to its natural texture, unique…

Dyeing holding time directly affects color fastness in polyester, cotton, and nylon dyeing. In our factory, we do not treat holding time as a small recipe detail. It decides whether dye enters the fiber, stays on the surface, bonds properly,…

Chemical fiber names often confuse buyers, mills, and new sales staff because one fiber can carry several names. A fiber may have a scientific name, a common domestic name, a staple fiber name, a filament name, and several trade names…

Bio-based yarns take renewable biomass as raw materials for fiber spinning. Based on feedstock origins, we split them into three categories: virgin bio-based yarns, regenerated bio-based yarns and synthetic bio-based yarns. First, virgin bio-based yarns adopt natural fibers from plants…

Core spun yarn, covered yarn, ply yarn, and blended yarn often appear in the same sourcing discussion, but they do not share the same structure. From our factory view, the key difference is not only the fiber content on a…

After everyday apparel meets people’s demands for comfort and aesthetics, consumers have gradually raised higher requirements for garment functionality. As one typical functional fiber, anti-UV fiber gains growing market attention. Therefore, this article introduces anti-UV fiber in terms of its…

Fabric selection is rarely as simple as choosing cotton, polyester, a higher yarn count, or a heavier material. In real textile development, performance depends on fiber properties, yarn construction, fabric structure, finishing technology, washing conditions, and the final application. These…

German researchers recently unveiled a cascade filter made from textile materials, designed to trap microplastics directly from wastewater before these pollutants flow into rivers and oceans. Developed by scientists at Germany’s DITF (German Institute for Textile and Fiber Research Denkendorf),…

What Is Peptide Fiber? Peptide fiber is a new bio-based artificial protein fiber for textiles. First, it is rich in 18 kinds of amino acids and mainly made from bio-based polyvinyl alcohol and collagen. Moreover, the two raw materials are…
