Why does the fabric shrink? 2021-03-18
Anisotropic expansion of the fiber when it is soaked, that is, the length and diameter of the fiber increase, but the increase in diameter is much greater than the increase in length. For example, the diameter of cotton fiber increases by 14% after being soaked, but the length only increases by 1.1%~1.2%. Therefore, after the fabric is soaked, the fiber in the fabric becomes thicker due to expansion, but the length does not increase much, and the yarn must follow The thickening of the fiber increases the diameter.
