The most important thing about the worst of cotton thread is nothing more than three indicators:

One is luster. The gloss of cotton thread is better with bright color and bright light, and the poor thread looks dull and dull, giving people the feeling of lifeless and turbid. The quality of gloss mainly depends on the spinning of the grey cotton and the mercerized singeing treatment of the yarn.

As far as domestic grey cotton is concerned, it is better to take Xinjiang long-staple cotton, its cotton fiber is long and white, so its fastness is also better after being made into thread. After mercerizing singeing treatment, the cotton thread will become shiny.

The second is fastness, the fastness of cotton thread mainly depends on the length of cotton fiber and the tightness of twist. Generally, as long as it is strong enough, it is not that the stronger the better.

The third is color fastness (that is, whether it will fade). Colour fastness depends mainly on staining. Dyeing is divided into direct color and reactive dye, and the color of the line dyed by direct color is dull and easy to fade; The thread dyed by the active fuel is bright in color and does not fade easily.

There is a simple way to detect whether the cotton thread will fade, which is to take a little thread and soap powder and put it in a disposable cup, add boiling water (the best one is just boiled), stir it, if it fades, it means that the quality of the thread is problematic, otherwise you can use it with confidence.
