What is poplin fabric? Poplin is a kind of work clothes fabric which originated in Shandong, and its feel is very similar to that of silk fabric. Poplin is a kind of lightweight fabric in cotton fabric, which is mainly used for shirts, summer clothes and daily clothes. Let's share what poplin fabric is.

What is Poplin Fabric 1 Poplin is a fabric made of cotton, polyester, wool and polyester-cotton blended yarn.

Poplin is a kind of fine plain fabric made of cotton, polyester, wool and polyester-cotton blended yarn. Delicate, smooth and shiny, it feels and looks like silk. Suitable for making all kinds of clothes, bright colors, giving people a gorgeous feeling when wearing.

Poplin is one of the traditional handicrafts in Shandong Province. First of all, it refers to the fabric woven by feudal nobles or officials in Licheng, Penglai and other counties in Shandong Province. Its feel and appearance are similar to silk, so it is called poplin. Poplin commonly used raw materials are pure cotton, polyester cotton and so on. Plain weave is a plain weave, but the difference is quite big: poplin has good drape and can be made fine, rich in feel and vision; However, plain cloth is generally of medium thickness, which can't make a very delicate feel and looks very simple.

Poplin is the main variety of cotton cloth. Mainly used as shirts, summer clothes and daily clothes. Plain cotton fabric has the characteristics of compact structure, uniform fabric surface, clear structure, smoothness and softness, and silky feel. There are obvious and symmetrical diamond-shaped particles on the surface of the fabric, which are composed of convex parts of warp yarns.

Compared with plain muslin, poplin is closer in warp direction, and the ratio of warp and weft density is about 2: 1. Poplin is made of uniform warp and weft yarns, woven into a compact grey fabric, singed, scoured, mercerized, bleached, printed and dyed. Suitable for shirts, coats and other clothing, and can also be used as embroidery base fabric.

Poplin is a kind of craft modified fabric, which is a fine plain woven from cotton, polyester, wool, silk or blended yarn, and feels like silk. Poplin is called poplin because it was woven in the palaces of feudal nobles or officials in Licheng and Penglai counties of Shandong Province, and its feel and appearance are similar to silk.

This fabric is also plain weave. Compared with plain cloth, the warp-weft density ratio is generally 1.8-2.2: 1. Because the density of warp yarns is obviously higher than that of weft yarns, a diamond pattern composed of raised warp yarns is formed on the surface of the fabric. Pure cotton or polyester-cotton fine yarn is often used to weave poplin fabrics.

According to the different yarns used, it can be divided into yarn poplin, half-thread poplin (with strands in the warp direction) and thread poplin (with strands in both the warp and weft directions).

According to the spinning degree, it can be divided into carded poplin and combed poplin.

According to colors, there are hidden plaid poplin, satin plaid poplin, colored plaid poplin, jacquard poplin and high-gloss poplin.

According to the printing and dyeing process of poplin, there are bleached poplin, variegated poplin and printed poplin.

Advantages and disadvantages of poplin fabric

All kinds of poplin fabrics have the characteristics of smooth surface, fine texture, full grain surface, soft luster and soft and smooth feel.

Poplin fabric has a great disadvantage, that is, the clothes sewn with poplin fabric are prone to longitudinal cracking, which is due to the great difference in warp and weft density and the imbalance of warp and weft strength, resulting in the strength of warp is almost twice that of weft.

Poplin originated in Licheng, Penglai and other counties in Shandong Province. This is a kind of fabric that only existed in the homes of nobles or officials in these places during the feudal period. Poplin is very similar to silk in feel and appearance, so it is named poplin.

Poplin commonly used raw materials are cotton, polyester cotton and so on. Woven with plain weave. According to the different yarns used in production, poplin can be divided into yarn poplin, half-thread poplin and thread poplin. Poplin can be divided into carded poplin and combed poplin according to different spinning projects, and more kinds of poplin will appear according to other different classification methods.

Poplin process requirements

There are no strict rules on the division of poplin, but it is a established industry habit, because in the routine, when the number of yarns reaches 40, it can be treated as poplin, so the following is an example of a conventional product with 40 yarns:

Ordinary poplin: 40X40 100X70 = 170 (but some fabrics, such as 30X40 100X60, are called poplin, so they are only approximate standards).

High density poplin: more than 40x40130x70 = 200,200 pieces.

Feather-proof poplin: 40x40133x100 = 230 = more than 230 pieces.

Once the fabric reaches a certain density, it is difficult to increase the number of warp and weft yarns, so the increase will raise a grade.

Common uses of poplin

Poplin is widely used. Poplin is an important variety of cotton cloth. Low density poplin is mainly used as pockets and linings, while high density poplin can generally be used as raw materials for shirts, summer clothes and daily underwear. Poplin is very suitable for making coats, because most poplin has been treated with rain protection, sun protection, shrinkage and non-ironing, and it is also a good choice to make raincoats with poplin. In addition, poplin can be used to make more expensive fabric decoration at home because of its silky and high-grade characteristics.

Characteristics of poplin

1, there are many kinds of poplin, and the selection space is large. Poplin can be divided into hidden poplin, satin poplin, jacquard poplin, colored poplin and shiny poplin according to weaving colors. Therefore, the appearance of poplin fabric is rich and colorful, and clothes made of poplin fabric are often noble and gorgeous, so we can choose our own colors and patterns.

2. Poplin fabrics are of good quality. Poplin belongs to plain cotton fabric, with very compact structure, uniform and clear lines on the fabric, and silky and comfortable feel. Therefore, the finished poplin has high quality and value, and can be used for a long time.
