What are the characteristics of various types of sewing threads

Sewing threads are very widely available in the market, and many garments, textiles, and leather products use sewing threads. Sewing thread is the thread required for knitted clothing products. Sewing thread can be divided into three categories according to raw materials: natural fiber, synthetic fiber sewing thread and mixed sewing thread. With the development of the polyester industry, more and more pure Full Dull Polyester Yarns are used as raw materials for sewing threads.

1. Cotton sewing thread

Good heat resistance, elasticity, abrasion resistance, moisture resistance, and anti-bacterial ability are poor, suitable for high-speed sewing and durable pressing. The most used is long-staple pure cotton thread: it is made of long-staple cotton, which is combed, singeed, mercerized, and twisted at a high density, so the tensile force is better than ordinary combed pure cotton. Often used for sewing cotton clothing and other cotton fabrics

2. Pure cotton thread

It is generally divided into two parts: carded and combed, and fully combed cotton can be used for sewing. Generally, 402, 202, and 203 are used. It is made of combed and singeed cotton from the cotton area. Pure cotton thread is often used for sewing of pure cotton clothing and other pure cotton fabrics.

3. Polyester sewing thread

High strength, flat and beautiful stitches, wear-resistant; no mildew or rot, low price, rich colors, not easy to fade, not shrinking.

4. Polyester cotton sewing thread

Made of 65% polyester staple fiber and 35% cotton fiber blend, the thread has high strength, good wear resistance, small shrinkage rate, good flexibility and elasticity, and good heat resistance. Various garments can be sewn.

5. Nylon sewing thread

Strong elongation, good elasticity, smooth texture, silky luster, excellent wear resistance.

6. Nylon thread

High breaking strength, good wear resistance, low hygroscopicity, high elasticity, but not enough heat resistance, generally controlled at about 120 ℃. Generally used for sewing chemical fiber fabrics, woolen wool, sweaters, etc.

7. Vinylon thread

The price is low, the breaking strength is high, the abrasion resistance is lower than that of nylon thread, and the chemical stability is good.

8. Silk thread

Smooth surface, soft luster, good elasticity, high temperature resistance. It is used to sew woolen garments and satin fabrics; rayon has bright colors, but has poor strength, poor hygroscopicity and relatively cheap price. Mostly used for machine embroidery.
