Ramie, flax silly indistinguishable?

Jun 18, 2022

As returning to nature becomes a trend, using natural and original things gradually becomes a trend. Take clothing, home textile as an example, more and more people begin to love the things of hemp material fabric. Hemp, harmless to human body, is the first natural plant fiber used by human beings.

However in the life, few somebody can distinguish flax, ramie, cotton hemp to wait, the clothings that also understands hemp masts to be relevant hard, home spins a product why price is so high, what cannot discern natural hemp masts more is true false and shoddy. Today xiaobian will sweep up this blind spot for you.

Ramie VS flax

First, what is the charm of hemp?

The method of natural hemp fiber is natural, and there are many varieties, but the classification is very simple, and the fiber can be divided into two categories. One is made from the bast on the stem of hemp plants, such as ramie, flax, jute, etc. Another kind is made by hemp plant leaves processing, such as coke hemp, sisal, etc. Ramie and flax are much used in weaving.

Hemp fiber has incomparable advantages over other fibers: heat and thermal conductivity is fast, cool and crisp, sweat is not close, light in texture, strong, soft and generous in tone, rough, with good moisture absorption, moisture dispersion and air permeability. With the development of all kinds of pretreatment and post-processing technology, some of its natural defects, such as poor elasticity, wrinkle resistance and wear resistance, have been greatly improved.

Hemp fiber has always been one of the important textile fibers in China and enjoys a high reputation in the world. Research shows that among many textile fibers, hemp fiber is the natural fiber with the most potential function. Presumably, under the trend of people's increasingly pursuit of health and quality of life, hemp related products will be more and more popular in the market and deep into people's lives.

Two, what is ramie?

Ramie is a kind of hemp, originated in China, also known as "Chinese grass", "wealth silk". Mubuka Japanese partition curtain is basically ramie woven summer cloth curtain.

Ramie's charm is not only for its cultural connotation, more lies in his actual functions: ramie has not only the function of the hemp fiber absorption the most basic of air, grass and light fragrance, less susceptible to mold corrosion, in all sorts of hemp fiber and ramie fiber, the longest, its two times longer than the highest level of cotton fiber length to seven times.

What is flax?

Flax is also a kind of hemp, which is a rare natural fiber, accounting for only 1.5% of the total natural fiber. Because of its natural, primitive, rare, natural color and noble, known as the "fiber queen of natural fibers."

Flax fiber also has many excellent properties, such as moisture absorption and heat dissipation, anti-fouling and anti-static, anti-ultraviolet, and excellent flame retardant effect. Because of its excellent heat dissipation performance, linen fiber fabric has the laudatory name of "natural air conditioning". Linen into clothing, its sub-hygroscopic wetting speed is very fast, can timely adjust the human skin surface ecological temperature environment.

Soviet documents also describe the properties of linen: linen reduces human sweating more than other fabrics, and linen absorbs water several times faster than silk, rayon, and even cotton.

Ramie VS flax

Ramie and flax performance is actually very similar, but ramie bihemp fiber is thicker and longer, higher strength, more brittle and hard, in the place of folding is easier to break, so in the design of ramie corresponding products should avoid fold modeling, do not fold when maintaining. Ramie white color, good luster, better dyeing than flax, easy to get more rich color than flax.

Ramie and flax are not only used in clothing, but also widely used in decorative cloth, tablecloths, napkins, handkerchiefs, tents and other household items.

Five, what is cotton linen?

Cotton and linen, as its name implies, is a fabric containing both cotton and linen components. Cotton and linen will always appear together with cloth clothes. In ancient times, cotton and linen was the first choice of the mass society, and it is also a kind of culture deposited by thousands of years of history, and it is also a representative of spirit.

Cotton and linen fabric is cotton and linen blended fabric, so the performance has the advantages of both, both soft touch of cotton, dull luster, but also has the characteristics of hygroscopic, air permeability and antistatic, no ball, no crimping. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. It can be used for intimate clothing, as well as indoor soft decorations such as tablecloths, curtains and partition curtains.

The return of "cloth clothing spirit" is also interpreting the collision between nature and fashion. Blended in hemp, cotton hemp and so on articles when your life, can you feel find everything new and fresh?

Flax VS cotton and linen

Many people confuse cotton with linen, but it's not hard to tell the difference. The roughness of pure linen is stronger than that of cotton and linen. It is normal for roving and some lines to have color deviation, because the process of linen production is relatively different from that of cotton and linen.

Additional, true pure cotton linen cloth, be thin paragraph, its actual thickness also won't be too thin. If it is too thin, we have to test whether cotton and linen blended into the chemical fiber; Cotton and linen no matter what color, but the surface is not reflective, if reflective, there is a great possibility that the material is added to the chemical fiber. When buying, need discretion consideration.

Seven, why are hemp products generally very expensive?

You stop in the shape, rose in the heart. Hemp is not for nothing expensive.

First of all, including hemp fabric is relatively trouble, since in the case of ramie, due to its fiber is more special, so, from ramie plant sowing, harvesting to rinse, to grade yarn, in the end of spinning and weaving into grass cloth, can only rely on all hand made, low efficiency, and low returns, make a lot of cloth art people unwilling to engage in this industry, grass cloth art once endangered by hand.

Moreover, bunong's income is low, the quality of hemp is better, and agricultural resources are more precious. Rare is expensive, hemp this kind of natural cloth nature is not cheap.

The most important reason is the nature and style of hemp material itself. Hemp is not only as mentioned above: it has strong moisture absorption and flame retardant. You can take a little hemp fabric, and then light it with fire. You will find that in the burning process, you can smell the smell like burning paper, and after burning, the fabric is gray and white, and it is difficult to cause secondary combustion during the whole process. And other non natural fabrics, such as chemical fiber fabrics are extracted from petroleum. When burning, black smoke is emitted, and the smell is very exciting. After burning, melting is formed, which has combustion-supporting effect on other substances.
