Evolution of denim fabrics: from fibers to yarns

In the world of fabrics, denim fabrics have a unique charm. From fibers to yarns, every step affects the final texture of the fabric. Today, let's explore the historical changes of denim fabrics together.

Selected early denim fabrics

In the early days of denim fabrics, brands like Levis would choose long staple cotton as raw material and use ring spinning technology. Ring spinning has high requirements for fibers, and the produced yarn is naturally flexible, with comfortable fuzz and natural irregular expansion parts - bamboo joints. The denim fabric woven from this yarn has a uniform color drop, a unique surface, and a better hand feel.

The rise of new spinning technology

With the emergence of open end spinning technology (OE yarn), the production efficiency of denim fabrics has greatly improved. OE yarn does not have high requirements for raw materials, and short fibers can also be spun into yarn, which makes the production of denim fabrics more popular. However, this spinning technology also brings some problems.

Advantages and disadvantages of OE yarn

OE yarn twists many short fibers together, and the denim fabric woven from it does not have a natural fluffy feeling. The fur is rough, the toughness is poor, and most importantly, it loses its natural bamboo knots. This makes the fading of denim fabric uniform and monotonous, without personality. Although patterned bamboo yarn can now be produced through programming, natural things are always the most precious.

Vertical Falling: The embodiment of fabric personality

So, the statement 'vertical drop is a manifestation of poor fabric quality' is incorrect. Vertical falling is actually a manifestation of the individuality of the fabric. In the next article, we will continue to explore the vertical drop itself and see how it affects the texture of denim fabrics.
