The sock manufacturer tells you what combed cotton is

As the name implies, combed cotton itself is also a kind of cotton. Combed cotton refers to a kind of textile process. Compared with pure cotton, it is more delicate. Combed cotton uses a comber to remove the shorter fibers (about 1 cm or less) in the cotton fiber, leaving long and neat fibers.
The production and manufacturing methods of cotton yarn are relatively complex. Generally speaking, there are currently two spinning methods, namely, carding spinning and combing spinning:
(1) Carding spinning process: cotton blending → opening and cleaning → carding → drawing → roving → spinning → post-processing → finished product inspection.
(2) Combed spinning process: cotton blending → opening and cleaning → carding → combing → drawing → roving → spinning → post-processing → finished product inspection.
As the most widely used material in socks, cotton has many advantages:
① Hygroscopicity: cotton fiber has good hygroscopicity. Under normal conditions, the fiber can absorb water into the surrounding atmosphere, and its moisture content is 8-10%. Therefore, it touches human skin, making people feel soft and not stiff.
② Moisture retention: Because cotton fiber is a poor conductor of heat and electricity, its thermal conductivity is extremely low, and because cotton fiber itself has the advantages of porosity and high elasticity, a large amount of air can be accumulated between fibers, and the air is also a poor conductor of heat and electricity, pure cotton fiber textiles have good moisture retention, and wearing pure cotton fabric socks makes people feel warm.
③ Health: cotton fiber is natural fiber, and its main component is cellulose. The pure cotton fabric has been tested and practiced in many aspects. The contact between the fabric and the skin has no stimulation or negative effect. It is beneficial to the human body and has good sanitary performance.
The quality of combed cotton yarn is better. The fabric made of combed cotton yarn has a high quality level in texture, washability and durability. More importantly, the socks made of combed cotton yarn are smoother, more flexible, and less prone to pilling. The quality of socks is also more stable
