I don't know if anyone has the same question as me, how did socks appear? With this question, the Shanghai Sock Show will bring you the answer.
In ancient Rome, women wore thin straps on their feet and legs. This leggings were the most primitive socks. Until the middle of the Middle Ages, this kind of "sock" also became popular in Europe, but the thin straps were replaced by cloth pieces. In the 16th century, the Spaniards began to separate pantyhose from trousers, and began to use socks to knit socks. William Lee, an Englishman, engaged in hand knitting for his wife, which led to his research on knitting machinery. In 1589, he invented the world's first hand knitting machine for knitting woolen pants. In 1598, it was converted into a knitting machine capable of producing finer stockings. Soon, the French Fournier began to produce stockings in Lyon, and cotton socks were not produced until the middle of the 17th century. After Dupont invented nylon in 1938, the first batch of nylon socks was put on the market in the same year. Since then, the socks market has undergone a complete change. Nylon stockings have become popular and popular all the time. European popularity was late, and it was not until 1945 that the first nylon stockings were officially launched. According to research, the most primitive socks appeared in the Xia Dynasty (21st-17th century BC) in China. Judging from the two pairs of silk socks unearthed from the tomb of the Western Han Dynasty at Mawangdui No.1 in Changsha, they are made of whole silk tailors, which are sewn on the feet and the back, seamless on the bottom. The back of the sock tube opens with a garter attached to the opening. The socks are numbered 23cm and 23.4cm, and the socks are 21cm and 22.5cm tall.
Before the socks people wore, people used leggings in a broad sense. This can be traced back to the time of ancient Egypt, the leather straps and socks-like outfits made from hemp or woolen fabrics. By the time of the Crusaders, the Chausses Socks appeared, but it was not prepared for ladies. The Crusaders made more exquisite socks with pure silk fabrics.

The ladies decorated their ankles with delicate little shoes, flickering under beautiful skirts. At that time, socks were patented by men. In 1589, a student of the British Theological Seminary, William Lee, invented a machine for manually sewing socks, which was 6 times faster than hand sewing. This was the originator of the sewing machine. At the same time, ladies also began to wear socks.
Industrial socks production began in 1860. The hosiery industry has been looking for new materials to replace the small and expensive silk. The production of blended yarns has made the hosiery industry a huge success. In 1928, DuPont showed the first pair of nylon socks, and Bayer launched polypropylene socks. In 1940, high-neck nylon socks set the highest sales record in the United States and began to become ordinary daily necessities. Boat socks appeared in the early 1980's, when tennis outfits began to rise, the classic style had two fur balls at the ankle, and became popular again in the mid-2000s, but a lot of styles have been changed, mainly used to match skateboarding, followed by It's shorts or skirts. Some girls are wearing invisible socks because they want to fully display the curve of their legs and their socks are not good. Therefore, they usually wear invisible socks. They are usually worn during sports or walking in casual style, usually with shorts or hot pants. Or if you wear shoes that will sweat your feet, you can absorb sweat.
Pantyhose appeared in the 1960s and became an alternative form of stockings. The term "pantyhose" appears in the United States, meaning a combination of trousers and socks. It is called "tights" in the UK, regardless of thickness. Interestingly, the stockings that wrap around the legs were once popular men's clothing (European and Americans in the 16th century) and were invented by Scot.L.Maddox. The lady at the time covered her legs in public.

However, tradition is reversed, with men wearing trousers and women exposing their legs. In the 20th century, pantyhose was purchased by women in huge quantities. However, men's pantyhose have appeared on the market. They are known for keeping warm, improving blood circulation, and also improving look and comfort. Amazingly, men's pantyhose became part of the Iraq war. "One of the things American soldiers in Iraq need is pantyhose. Back in the past as a player, BartStarr said he wore pantyhose to keep him warm while playing rugby. This probably made some people stingy, but pantyhose does It's a way for the American soldiers to defend against nasty sand fleas. "Pantyhose is a standard outfit in today's world office, where they are considered a professional form of women's clothing. Although it is popular among girls to directly expose their legs, socks are still needed for official occasions that require formal attire. Some uniformed schools often require wearing designated socks (some are pantyhose or tights) as part of their uniform.

In this article, China Knitting Fair will introduce you to brushed fabrics and cotton fabrics, and what is the difference between brushed fabrics and cotton fabrics? Now there are more and more fabrics on the market. Different fabrics have different quality characteristics. Frayed fabrics and cotton fabrics are two types of fabrics often used in bedding the difference.
The brushed fabric is soft, warm and comfortable, suitable for winter use, and the brushed products will not fade and pilling. However, because its wool will fall off, people who are allergic to hair and dust should not use a quilt made of sanded fabric. Pure cotton fabrics have good moisture absorption and breath ability, no irritation to the skin, can better moisturize the skin and prevent allergies. Therefore, the choice of brushed fabric or cotton bedding depends on personal needs, which is the best fit.
Introduction of brushed fabrics and cotton fabrics
What is a brushed fabric
Sanding, also called sanding. Can make the warp and weft yarn produce fluff at the same time, and the fluff is short and dense. The suede is smooth, full and soft, rich in suede, soft in gloss, and no aurora. The brushed fabric is fluffy, thick, and has good thermal performance. It can also be used as a thin quilt in summer, and it can not afford the ball.
After the general grey cloth is pretreated (desizing, cooking, bleaching, mercerizing, etc.), the cloth surface is very smooth and smooth. The sanding is to rub the cloth surface with a roller wrapped with sand skin to rub on the cloth surface A layer of fluff emerges.
The "hair" is ground out of sand. The whole process is as follows: first dipping the fuzzing agent, drying and tentering the sanding and finishing on a special sanding machine. The sanding machine is better in Italy and Germany. The sanding machine has six sanding rollers.

Different bags of different numbers of sand leather are covered, and then the cloth surface is put on a high-speed sand leather roller, given a certain tension, and slowly passed. After the friction of the six sand leather rollers on the cloth surface, the cloth surface is dense. Fluff.
Brushed fabric is a kind of cotton fabric that is polished by the sanding machine and the corundum leather. It is a variety that only undergoes qualitative changes in appearance. That is, while retaining the original properties of the fabric, the fabric surface is formed into a The layer has the feel of a short pile layer. While giving the fabric a new style, it not only reduces the thermal conductivity of the brushed fabric, but also increases the heat retention and softness.
The process of sanding fabrics is much more complicated than that of printed fabrics. After dyeing and finishing, then exquisite sanding process, the style is unique. It is a new flower in the current textile industry. It appeals to consumers with a soft, comfortable, rich texture, strong drape, easy to care, and rich suede appearance. It is very close to the skin when it is used, a warm, soft and comfortable feeling. Unique technology, sanding products will not fade, pilling and other qualities, much better than ordinary cotton fabrics, and weight is much heavier than ordinary cotton materials.
Features of brushed fabric
Soft and thick. Through continuous friction, the fabric becomes very soft, just like kneading the dough continuously, it will become more and more soft and flexible. Will not be easy to pilling clothes look good and like, but easy to pilling, this is a problem encountered by many fabric clothes, but brushed fabric will not, because of the unique sanding process, will usually wear clothes and The friction caused by washing clothes is completely removed during the production process. This is an innovation in the production process and a new variety. We imitate the strong human body. We will make the fabric and add polyurethane emulsion, and then go through a new round of sanding, which can make the surface of the fabric form a simulation effect of artificial leather.

What is cotton fabric
Pure cotton fabric is a textile made of cotton as the raw material. At present, according to the actual source of processed cotton, it is divided into virgin cotton fabric and recycled cotton fabric. Cotton with a cotton content of 65% or more is pure cotton. Do not think that pure cotton is organic cotton. They still have different characteristics.
Characteristics of cotton fabric
1.Hygroscopicity
Cotton fiber has good hygroscopicity. The fiber can absorb moisture into the surrounding atmosphere, and it can also disperse water into the air to keep the fabric in a water-balanced state and make people feel comfortable.
2. Thermal insulation
Because cotton fiber is a poor conductor of heat and electricity, the thermal conductivity is extremely low, and because the cotton fiber itself has the advantages of porosity and high elasticity, it has good thermal insulation.
3.Heat resistance
Pure cotton fabrics have good heat resistance. When the temperature is below 110 ℃, it will only cause the water on the fabric to evaporate and will not damage the fibers.
4.Alkali resistance
Cotton fiber has greater resistance to alkali. Cotton fiber is in alkaline solution, and the fiber will not be destroyed. This property is helpful for washing and disinfecting pollution after taking.
5.Security
Cotton fiber is a natural fiber. Its main component is cellulose, which contains a small amount of waxy substances, nitrogenous substances and pectin. The fabric is in contact with the skin without any irritation and no side effects.
