What to do if cardigan has shrunk?

Wool is a natural fiber with excellent wearability. It is the most widely used animal hair fiber in textile products. However, due to the lack of understanding of wool fibers and some characteristics of wool itself, if wool is not properly protected, it can easily cause shrinkage, which not only affects aesthetics, but also is not comfortable to wear. So what to do if the sweater has shrunk? How to wash Cardigans? Let ’s take a look at the Cardigan Show.

Cardigans originally refer to knitted sweaters made of wool, which is also the meaning agreed by ordinary people. In fact, "cardigans" have become synonymous with a category of products, which are used to refer to "knitted sweaters" or "Wool knitwear." Wool knitwear refers to fabrics mainly woven from yarns made from animal hair fibers such as wool, cashmere, rabbit hair, etc., such as rabbit sweaters, snow blue sweaters, sheepskin sweaters, acrylic shirts, etc. are all "cardigan" big families.

The cardigan has the characteristics of good elasticity, bright color, strong extensibility, good breath ability, and comfortable and convenient wearing. Its winter products are light in weight and good in heat retention; the summer products are soft in texture, and the hole effect will produce a good ventilation and ventilation effect, which is cool and comfortable to wear; spring and autumn products can be designed to suit different regions and different consumers according to different requirements Products that meet the needs of all kinds of people.

What to do if cardigan has shrunk?

1. Steam ironing: shrink the sweater fibers with a steam iron, then use both hands to stretch the fibers while hot. You can pad it with white cloth, spray with water, iron some at medium temperature, and the water temperature is preferably around 35 degrees.

2. Cardboard: Use cardboard to cut into the size and shape of the original sweater. The cutout is best polished with sandpaper to avoid hooking the sweater. Put the sweater on the cardboard, fix it with several clothespins at the bottom of the sweater, and then use an electric iron to repeatedly steam iron all parts of the sweater, and then remove it after it has completely cooled.

3. Send to the dry cleaners: Just take the clothes to the dry cleaners, dry clean first, then find a special shelf of the same model as the clothes, hang the sweater, and after the high temperature steam treatment, the clothes can be restored to their original appearance. same.

Cardigan care:

1. Save carefully

Emptying the clothes pockets can cause the clothes to bulge or sag.

Hanging the clothes Hang the wool clothes in a cool, airy place with a suitable hanger, and hang them for a while to remove the wrinkles. Choose a style that supports the shoulder pads and skirt waist of the coat to avoid wrinkling.

2. Prevention of folds

Wrinkles in pure wool can disappear for a period of time or overnight in a wet bathroom.

3.Stain and odor treatment

Rinse the small stain with cold water, and then dry it with a clean cloth, but do not use paper towels; remove the odor from the clothes. Place the clothes on the bed for about an hour, and remove the odor from the clothes such as cigarettes.

4. Let the wool breathe

Allow the wool to breathe for 24 hours before the next wear, and try to avoid wearing the same clothing for two consecutive days. This gives the wool fiber sufficient time to restore its natural elasticity.

5.Storage

If you want to store wool fabrics for a long time, you must wash and dry them. Any wool fabric can be folded and stored, placed on cedar or camphor pills, or hung in a clothes bag. Do not clutter your clothes in tight spaces.

6. Anti-cricket

The moth-proofing of moths is also important. The commonly used method is fumigation, which uses the volatiles of fumigants to kill tapeworms. It needs to be carried out in a sealed container. It is mainly used camphor, naphthalene, p-dichlorobenzene and so on. This method is generally used when keeping woolen sweaters in the home to prevent insects.

7. Renovation

The woolen sweater is shortened and hardened. You can wrap it with a clean white cloth and roll it in a steamer for ten minutes. After taking it out, shake it a little harder, loosen the fibers, and then carefully pull it to its original shape and size. Lay flat on a thin plate or sieve back, dry in a ventilated place and dry in the shade. After drying, it will return to its original shape. Wool or woolen fabrics will gradually lose their original luster when washed more times. If rinsed with water several times, add a few drops of vinegar to the water to continue bleaching to neutralize the acid and alkali, and the woolen and woolen fabrics will recover. The original gloss. Special care for light wool fabrics. Light fabrics such as cool wool, although easy to wrinkle, can be ironed with a damp cloth or a steam iron.

There are two main weaving methods, knitted and woven. Knitting refers to weaving in the form of loops and loops. The most intuitive feature of the fabric is that you cannot see the warp and weft directions of the fabric intersect perpendicularly, but one by one loop, and the knit fabric has a soft hand and a strong drape. Weaving means that the warp and weft of the fabric (that is, vertical and horizontal) are formed by vertical interweaving; woven fabrics are divided into shuttle woven and shuttleless woven, the difference is whether there is a Weft insertion effect of shuttle.

knitting

The process of using knitting needles to form loops of various raw materials and varieties of yarns, and then connecting them through knitting to form knitted fabrics. The knitted material is soft, has good wrinkle resistance and breath ability, and has large extensibility and elasticity, and is comfortable to wear. In addition to knitting and decoration, knitted products can also be used in the fields of industry and agriculture, as well as medical and health and national defense. There are two types of knitting: hand knitting and machine knitting. Hand-knitting uses stick needles. It has a long history, exquisite craftsmanship, and flexible flower shapes. It has been widely spread and developed in folk.

Woven

The process of forming woven fabric with yarn as warp and weft according to various fabric structures. It usually consists of three parts: preparation before weaving, weaving and weaving of the warp yarn into a weaving shaft and weft yarn into a shuttlecock (or package). Weaving is an important part of the production of the textile industry. It can be divided into cotton, wool, silk and linen according to the type of raw materials used. The variety and use of woven fabrics are extremely wide (see textiles). According to different requirements, select the appropriate yarn raw materials and appropriate fabric organization.

The difference between weaving and knitting

1. The fabric structure is different. Weaving can control different weft yarns passing through the warp yarns to form different fabric patterns and structures. Knitted fabric also has a corresponding organization structure, including the basic organization: flat needle organization, rib organization, and double back organization.

2. The organization of change is different. Weaving is formed by the combination of the above three basic organizational changes. In addition to the three basic organization changes of knitting, there are plain needle structure and rib structure as its basic changes.

3. The basic unit of fabric organization is different. The loop of a knitted fabric is the smallest basic unit of the knitted fabric, and the loop is composed of a trunk curve and an extension line in a spatial curve. Each point of intersection between the warp and weft of a woven fabric is called a weaving point, and is the smallest basic unit of a woven fabric.

4. Complex Chengdu is different. Weaving has double tissues (multiple woven into thick flannelettes, cotton fleece blankets, etc.), fluffed tissues (such as corduroy fabrics), towel tissues (towel fabrics), double-layer tissues (towel fabrics), and leno tissues. And knitting also has double back and so on. In general, Chengdu is more complex than weaving.

5. Features and uses are different. Woven fabrics are suitable for various printing and dyeing finishing methods. Generally speaking, printed and jacquard patterns are finer than knitted, knitted and felt fabrics. After changing the structure and improving the dimensional stability of knitted fabrics, it can also be used as underwear, outerwear, socks, gloves, hats, sheets, bedspreads, curtains, mosquito nets, carpets, lace and other clothing, living and decorative cloths.

The difference between knitted fabrics and woven fabrics

Knitted fabrics and woven fabrics have their own unique characteristics due to the different methods of weaving. In terms of processing technology, cloth surface structure, fabric characteristics, and finished product uses, they have their own unique characteristics. Here are some comparisons.

1. Composition of fabric structure:

(A) Knitted fabric: A yarn is sequentially bent into a loop, and the loops are connected in series to form a fabric. The process of forming a loop of yarn can be performed horizontally or longitudinally. Lateral weaving is called weft knitting and longitudinal weaving Called warp knitted fabric.

(B) Shuttle fabric: It is a fabric made of two or more sets of mutually perpendicular yarns interlaced at a 90-degree angle of warp and weft. The longitudinal yarns are called warp yarns and the transverse yarns are called weft yarns.

2. The basic unit of fabric organization:

(A) Knitted fabric: The loop is the smallest basic unit of knitted fabric, and the loop is composed of loop trunk and extension line in a spatial curve.

(B) Woven fabric: Each point of intersection between warp and weft yarns is called a weaving point and is the smallest basic unit of a woven fabric.

#??#

3. Fabric organization characteristics:

(A) Knitted fabric: because the loop is made by the yarn bending in space, and each loop is composed of a yarn, when the knitted fabric is subjected to external tension, such as longitudinal stretching, the bending of the loop changes, and the loop The height of the stitches also increases, while the width of the stitches decreases. If the tension is laterally stretched, the situation is the opposite. The height and width of the stitches can be switched between each other under different tension conditions, so the stretch ability of the knitted fabric is large.

(B) Woven fabric: Because the warp and weft are intertwined, and the bends in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the fabric, the degree of bending is related to the mutual tension between the warp and weft, and the stiffness of the yarn. External tension, such as longitudinal stretching, warp yarn tension increases, bending decreases, while weft yarn bending increases, such as longitudinal stretching non-stop until the warp yarns are fully straightened, while the fabric shrinks laterally. When the woven fabric is stretched laterally by external tension, the tension of the weft yarn increases, the bending decreases, and the warp warp increases, such as the horizontal stretching is continued until the weft yarn is completely straightened, and the fabric shrinks longitudinally. Warp and weft yarns do not change, unlike knitted fabrics.

4. Characteristics of fabric organization:

(A) Knitted fabric: It can be stretched in all directions and has good elasticity. Because the knitted fabric is formed by hole-shaped loops, it has a large air permeability and feels soft.

(B) Woven fabric: Due to the warp fabric warp, weft yarn extension and shrinkage have little relationship and no change occurs, so the fabric is generally tight and stiff.

5. The physical and mechanical properties of the fabric:

(A) Knitted fabric: the physical and mechanical properties of the fabric, including longitudinal density, transverse density, square meter weight, elongation, elasticity, breaking strength, abrasion resistance, curling, thickness, release, shrinkage, covering And bulk density.

(B) Woven fabric: The physical and mechanical properties of the woven fabric, including the yarn density of warp and weft yarns, selvedge, front and back, forward and reverse wool direction, and fabric coverage.

What kind of underwear does a teenage girl develop? Girls who have entered puberty begin to develop their bodies quickly, and their chest development makes them look different. Then, the shyness in the face of physical changes and perplexity make it easy for them to develop wrong underwear choices and wearing habits without the advice of adults. Over time, it will cause breasts to sag and affect girls' health. The following is the knowledge of how to wear and choose bras correctly for adolescent girls sorted out by Shanghai Underwear Show. Let's take a look together!

How to choose a bra for young girls

Fabric

① In addition to good permeability, moisture permeability and moisture permeability, girl bra fabrics with good water permeability, moisture permeability, and breath ability should also be able to quickly transmit moisture and sweat that becomes free water and evaporate quickly. Therefore, in the selection of bra fabrics, try to choose natural fibers with excellent touch as raw materials. In addition, some new fibers are also good for girls' bras.

② Using a fabric with good softness and smoothness is the best way to reduce itching.

③ Wearing a loose or tight bra will affect the normal development of the breast. In the case of reasonable structural design, choosing an appropriate elastic fabric can improve the fit of the bra. For girls with slightly swollen chests, the lining and fabric of bra cups can be made of 100% cotton. But as the chest grows, the 100% cotton non-elastic cup will make the girl feel the pressure on the chest, so the cup needs to be made of elastic fabric. The elasticity of the cup lining is smaller than the elasticity of the cup fabric.The spandex content of the cup fabric is mostly above 10%. Most polyester and ammonia blends are used; the lining is generally made of less elastic materials, and more polyester Cotton blend, polyester / nylon blend. In this way, the bra cup can provide a stable supporting force while satisfying the amount of chest movement during human movement.

Excipients

① Underwire and buckle: In order to avoid sagging chests, enhance the stability of the chest during exercise, and ensure the normal development of the chest, underwires are still required to support the chest. In the selection of the girl's bra steel ring, the first choice is to avoid choosing the type of metal nickel coating, so as not to cause skin irritation; secondly, the outer edge of the steel ring must be smooth, and the two ends should be made into ovals, so as not to poke out the outbound bundle Rub the skin. In addition, for young girls, the chest is in a continuous development stage. If you use a steel ring that is too hard, it will over-compress the chest and affect the normal development of the chest. Therefore, you can consider using plastic or synthetic resin with good elasticity and stability. For the selection of clasps for girls' bras, it is also necessary to avoid the use of metal coatings and rough materials that are likely to cause skin irritation.

②Shoulder strap: Tightening the shoulder strap and slipping off the shoulder strap are the most uncomfortable factors for girls. The weight of the breast is shared by the shoulder strap and the lower cup of the bra. If the elasticity of the shoulder strap is too large, it will lack the load bearing force, and if it is too small, it will tighten the shoulder, causing neck and back pain. The fall of the strap is related to the structure of the bra, the elasticity of the strap and the smoothness of the inner side of the strap. From the perspective of the material, to solve the problem of slipping of the shoulder strap, in addition to controlling the elasticity of the shoulder strap, it is also possible to attach a structure that obliquely tilts the shoulders on the inner side to increase the coefficient of friction.

③ Trimming: Some manufacturers use chemical fiber materials to make lace and lace in the design of girls' bras and ignore the skin-friendly requirements of the materials. For trims that do not fit the skin, there is a large choice of space, mainly for aesthetics. However, if it is a skin-adhesive decorative lace, it is necessary to avoid using chemical fiber materials, and try to use natural fiber trims, and be sure to choose a type with smooth edges and soft touch.

size

First of all, to wear a suitable bra, you need to measure the fullest part of the breast and accurately measure the value. Next, measure the bust line directly below. If the data is even, for example: 32, then you need to add 4 to get the number 36. If it is odd: 31, add 3 to 34, which is the size of the underwear band . You can calculate your cup size by subtracting the fullness value from the tape size value obtained in the previous calculation. Cup size: 1 = A, 2 = B, and so on. If your belt size is 36 and the largest part is 34, then your bra size will be (36-34 = 2,2 = B), which is 36B. You can choose to use your standard size, but different styles and brands of bras are suitable for different occasions, so there are slight differences in size.

style

1. If you have a small breast, a padded bra is a good choice because it will improve your chest curve. The chest will also look fuller. You can also try a half-cup underwire bra, which will give your chest a visual boost to a cup.

2. If you are big breasts, you should choose a non-filled bra. The full cup will wrap the chest better and the wide straps will provide better support. Unfilled underwire bras are also a good choice. If you plan to wear a T-shirt, choose a T-shirt bra. For girls who love to wear dresses, strapless bras are a great choice, but make sure your bra fits perfectly.

Chest type

Disc type: Breast bulge is not high, but the bottom is not small. Most Oriental women belong to this category. Recommendation: Choose 1/2 cups or bras with inserts to increase breast fullness.

Conical type: The breasts are high and the bottom is not small, but the whole is straight and conical. Recommendation: Choose a 3/4 cup bra that can effectively set off the breast.

Hemispheric: The breasts are large and full, making them ideal breasts. Recommendation: Choose a full cup.

Spinning cone type: breasts are high and the bottom is not large. The breasts protrude forward and have a slight drooping feel, like a spindle. Recommendation: Choose 3/4 cup or full cup.

Sagging Type 1: Breasts are bulging but sagging, and the lower part touches the chest. Recommendation: Choose a 3/4 cup with a wider shoulder strap design.

Drooping type 2: The nipples point to the ground, making them hang down. Recommendation: Choose a bra with a narrower center.

Expansion type: Double peaks expand outward to both sides without concentration. Recommendation: Choose a bra with a central focus, such as a 5/8 cup.

season

Summer: sweat more, you should wear a cotton, bleach or poplin bra.

Spring and Autumn: Wear bras made of polyester.

Winter: Wear thicker or sponge-lined bras. If the breasts are not full, or the size of the left and right breasts is significantly asymmetric, a sponge-lined bra can be used.
