Type of Materials

Materials		Properties‧Merit	Demerit
Cotton	Properties	Absorbs water and moisture well, provides a soft touch to skin	May shrink after washing Wrinkles easily
	Egyptian Cotton	Produced in Nile Basin, with slender, strong and glossy fibre Often used in shirts etc
	Peruvian Cotton	Long fiber, seldom made for twisting, yet it is strong and elastic Often used in socks etc
	Indian Cotton	Refers to all cotton produced in India, with short fibre Often used in carpet, coverings and shirts etc
	Organic Cotton	Comes from fields free of pesticides and chemical fertilizers for over three years
Linen		Good air permeability, heat conductivity and heat dissipation (Escape heat from the body) Absorbs water and moisture well with good perspiration Soft and flexible, not stick to body	Wrinkles easily Loose seams easily Hard fiber may lead to stinging pain on skin Friction under wet condition may cause fuzz balls
Silk		With lustre Has good moisture-absorption and perspiration-elimination function Light and warm	Provides less UV protection, colour fades easily Friction under wet condition may cause fuzz balls
Wool		Light and warm Absorbs moisture well Not wrinkles easily Not easily deformed Not ignite easily	May shrink after washing Mild acidity Less susceptible to attack by insects and mold
Cashmere		Light and soft, with a supple touch to skin Smooth with lustre Absorbs moisture well	Cause fuzz balls easily Becomes weak due to fiction
Polyester		Not easily deform after wash, dries quickly Not shrink after washing	Easy to cause static electricity Weak in absorbing water and moisture
Acrylic		Lightweight and warm Fluffy	Cause fuzz balls easily Easy to cause static electricity
Polyurethane		High stretchability Lightweight	May cause discoloration or deterioration when using chlorine bleach Avoids direct sunlight (may cause discoloration/deterioration)
Rayon		Absorptive Has a unique lustre attraction With drape	May shrink after washing Becomes deteriorated due to friction Wrinkles easily Becomes less durable under wet condition

Thread Thickness

Yarn count
It is an unit which defines yarn's fineness or coarseness. It expresses whether the yarn is thick or thin.
1 cotton count yarn has 453.6g weight and 768.1m length. The thinner, the bigger yarn count number.
Thick yarn: 20 or less yarn count; Moderate yarn: 30-40 yarn count; Thin yarn: 50 or above yarn count
Single thread
One thread (made by twisting fibers together). It has soft texture. The garment is easily twisted.
Twin thread
Twisted from 2 single threads. It is durable, not easily twisted or deformed after washing.
Twisted thread
Thread made by repeated twisting. It has a fresh touch and cool texture.

Weaving Method

Plain stitch
The knit side creates a smooth surface with knit stitches. (The surface and inner part are different) It is made of basic stitch to produce the most durable and stable fabric.
Pique
It is characterized by the regular stitch with a rough surface, which is less elastic.
Fleece lining
The inner part is made of thick yarn which allows moisture.
Pile
The pile surface has a soft texture. As it is made of cotton, it has high moisture content and hygroscopicity.
Double-sided fabric
It has lateral stretch. Using stockinette stitch, it creates the same pattern on surface and inner part.
Double-sided rib Fabric
Formed by combining 2 rib knit fabrics, which both the surface and inner part has a smooth texture. It is relatively thick, with low elasticity and permanent press.
Waffle
The appearance is like honeycomb and waffle. It is characterized by the rough surface.
