How much do you know about sweater materials? What kind of sweater is comfortable to wear?

Winter is coming. Sweater has a soft and comfortable touch and it can bring us warmth and relaxation. What kind of sweater is comfortable to wear? Let's take a look!

The composition of sweater is divided into pure cotton, chemical fiber, wool, cashmere.

• Pure cotton wool

Pure cotton wool is soft and warm. Sweaters made of cotton have good moisture absorption and softness, and the water content is between 8% and 10%, which can keep the water balance state. Pure cotton will not produce static electricity. It has the advantages of porosity, high elasticity, no stimulation in contact with the skin, no negative effects, no hairball. Although cotton sweater is easy to wrinkle, but it is still a better choice for warmth.

• Chemical fiber wool

Chemical fiber wool does not shrink, feel smooth, elastic, easy to get static electricity, dry skin itchy when wearing. Chemical fiber fabrics are pure, blended or interwoven fabrics processed from chemical fibers, including acrylic, spandex, polyester and so on. Chemical fiber fabrics are low-cost, can be mass-produced, dyeing and patterns are also varied, and young people who do not pursue quality prefer knitwear. The price is cheaper than cotton. Chemical fiber fabrics are light and soft, and fit very well on the body. The shape retention is good, and the color is relatively bright. However, the warmth retention effect is poorer and there may be irritating odor.

• Wool material

Wool material is one of the best options for sweaters. Wool is fine and soft, with a high yield, and its warmth-retaining properties are no less than those of ordinary cotton wool. The texture of wool is soft, elastic, feels good and keeps you warm. Wool and alpaca blended sweaters have better warmth and hydrophilic fibers, but more pilling. Although pure wool is not very good, it is also the best compared to other materials, the price is moderate, and the thermal effect is also very good.

• Cashmere material

Cashmere is a very soft, warm and stretchy sweater fabric with the characteristics of wool, while it is easy to lose hair and becomes thinner the more it is washed. Cashmere is eight times warmer than wool, weighs only one-fifth as much as it does, and it is much cozier. Cashmere has a shorter texture and doesn't pill as badly as wool, with a short layer of hair showing on the surface. Cashmere is one of the coziest, softest and warmest fabrics for winter attire. Although it is more expensive, it keeps you far warmer than cotton fabrics. It is also prone to shedding and gets thinner the more you wash it. But it doesn't shrink as much as wool.
