I believe that many people have worn canvas shoes. For you who have worn canvas shoes for so many years, how much do you know about canvas fabrics? Today, the PV velvet editor will take you to see what the canvas fabric is like:
Canvas width: refers to the weft width of the canvas, which is commonly expressed in "inches" internationally, such as "47", and "centimeter" or "cm" is commonly used in China, such as "120cm". Canvas is a thicker cotton or linen fabric, named after it was originally used for sails. Canvas is woven with multi-strand threads, so its texture is firm, wear-resistant, compact and thick. Generally, plain weave is used, and a small amount of twill weave is used. Both warp and weft yarns use multi-strand threads.
With the advancement of science and technology, the textile technology has been greatly improved, and the types of canvas are gradually increasing, and the application is more extensive. To understand canvas fabrics, you have to start with three aspects: weight, width, and yarn count. Canvas weight: refers to the weight in grams of one square meter of fabric. Woven canvas fabrics use "ounces", "an" or "OZ" and knitted canvases generally use grams (g/m2). Its conversion is 1 ounce equals 28.375 The gram is generally 28.35 grams on the cloth weighing machine, which is related to the yarn count and the warp and weft density of the fabric. The thicker the yarn, the thicker the cloth, and the greater the gram weight.
Canvas yarn count: In short, the yarn count refers to the thickness of the yarn. The "British system" is still commonly used in China, that is: one pound (454 grams) of cotton yarn (or other component yarns), and the length is 840 yards ( 0.9144 yards/meter), the fineness of the yarn is one piece. If a pound of yarn has a length of 10 x 840 yards and a fineness of 10 counts, the indication method of the yarn count is the English letter "S". The indication method of a single yarn is: 32 single yarns-- --Indicated as: 32S strands The indication method is: 32 strands (two strands and twisted) are: 32S/2, 42 strands and three strands are twisted: 42S/3.
