1. What is cashmere yarn?
As we all know, sheep only produce wool, not cashmere. The mixed fleece of the animals came out! The raw materials are all kinds of animal plush left by the manufacturer, including cashmere, wool, mink down, rabbit down wool, decomposed animal fibers and necessary chemical fibers.
Goats produce cashmere, a goat produces 50 grams of cashmere a year, and sheep produce wool, which is woven into wool threads. So, cashmere cashmere thread is cashmere thread.
Second, cashmere yarn content
Are all cashmere yarns containing cashmere in the raw materials?
No, if the cashmere content in the yarn is less than 30%, it is not a cashmere thread, only the cashmere thread is more than 30% cashmere thread.
Only when the cashmere content reaches more than 95% can it be called pure cashmere thread!
Whether the cashmere sweater is good or not depends on whether it is worn close to the body or not, whether it is comfortable or not. But how to identify the quality of cashmere yarn? The most professional method is to go to an authoritative institution for testing, which is absolutely accurate, but this is of little significance to ordinary consumers.
Third, how to buy real cashmere yarns
There are some hand-knitted yarns of no-name brands in China. Don’t take too much attention to those ingredients, there are many of them. It is a false standard, and there are small groups of cotton yarn, milk cotton, 90% Australian wool, 10% anti-pilling fiber, super soft fiber, and bio-velvet. The wholesale price is about 10 yuan and a half catty.
Manufacturers have a clear idea of consumer habits. Consumers don’t know thread, but only see if thread floats beautifully, feels soft or not, and is comfortable.
Therefore, the appearance of the brand-name yarn is still good. It looks shiny and feels good. If you burn it, you will know that it is almost the same as chemical fiber, and there is not much cashmere content. The soft feel is due to the loose balls, and then a lot of chemicals such as softeners are added.
There are also some blended wools that will be marked with Ordos or some brands that you don’t understand. Don’t believe the ingredients above, because Ordos cashmere yarn is not retailed, and is generally provided to yourself. Factory or export products are basically fake in the market, so if you have high quality requirements, don’t buy off-brand lines easily, choose domestic regular brand lines to ensure the quality, and the ingredients are listed in a slightly more formal way.
Is it difficult to buy domestic cashmere yarn? Then tell everyone about foreign trade cashmere threads. If the foreign trade line buys the original barrel thread, some of which will have information such as ingredient, count, brand, color, etc., such information is generally not fake, this thread is woven from cashmere, there is no need to Fraudulent ingredients.
However, it may be faked when it is transferred to the tail yarn market. If people who know the thread can pick it up sometimes, so everyone should improve their ability to recognize the thread. .
