Terry or Velour: How to Choose the Best Towel for Your Needs 🤔 Towels are one of the most common and useful items in our everyday lives. We use them to dry ourselves, to clean our hands, or to wipe up spills. But not all towels are the same. Different types of fabrics can be used to make towels, and each one has its own advantages and disadvantages. two popular types of towels: terry and velour. Both are made from cotton, but they have different textures, properties, and uses. What is Terry Cloth? Terry cloth is a type of fabric that has many small loops of thread on its surface. These loops give terry cloth a soft and fluffy texture. Terry cloth is very absorbent, durable, and easy to wash. It is often used to make bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths. 💠Highly absorbent: The loops act like sponges that soak up moisture quickly and efficiently. 💠Durable: Terry cloth can withstand frequent use and washing without losing its shape or quality. 💠Practice: Terry is often used when functionality is key What is Velour? Velour is a type of fabric that is similar to velvet but with a knit construction instead of a weave. A velour towel is produced by shaving off the loops in a terry cloth, shortening and exposing the thread ends. 💠Smooth: Velour has a velvety feel and a lustrous appearance 💠Quick-drying: Velour dries faster than terry cloth 💠Better for Printing: The flat surface allows for a sharper and more detailed print. There is no definitive answer to which type of towel is better, as it depends on your preference and needs. Get in touch to discuss your requirements with us and we'll be happy to help select the right material for your needs. 📞✉️ #towel #promotionalproducts #sport #branding

📘 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐂𝐅 𝐘𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐬 Last week, we introduced filament yarns, and today we’re diving deeper into a special type: 𝐁𝐮𝐥𝐤 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 (BCF) yarn! 🧶 🔍 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐁𝐂𝐅 𝐲𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐬 “𝐁𝐮𝐥𝐤”? The secret lies in the texturization process—a technique where fibers are crimped, twisted, or looped through controlled heat and mechanics. They are produced by fear crimping, stuffer box, air jet and knit-de-knit processes. They have no stretch and high bulk. Texturisation process can also allows for stretch, these are called stretch yarns. The result? Perfectly plush, durable yarns are ideal for creating carpets, upholstery, and winter wear. 🧵 𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐭 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐘𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐬 In contrast, flat filament yarns have a smooth, sleek surface without added texture. They’re perfect for applications that need strength, a lightweight structure, and a polished finish. Monofilament and multifilament yarns are both examples. Think high-performance uses like athletic apparel, technical fabrics, and stylish upholstery. 🌍 𝐄𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 While texturization adds volume and comfort, it can be energy-intensive, involving heating, crimping, and sometimes chemicals. 👉 𝐅𝐮𝐧 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭 Because BCF yarns are bulkier and fuzzier, they require less yarn to achieve fabric coverage. This is a key efficiency, as the yarn fills more area with less material, which can lower material consumption during production. 💡𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚-𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬? Our tool currently covers monofilament and multifilament yarn spinning, but we can create a custom scenario specifically for your textured yarn needs. Reach out with any questions at 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘰@𝘣𝘢𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘳.𝘦𝘶, and let’s explore how we can help optimize your environmental impact calculations. #LCA #LifeCycleAssessment #StreamlinedLCA #bAcademy

#Batik Dyeing: Designs are painted with wax on a fabric which is then immersed in a dye bath. The painted portion cannot absorb the color & creates a design. A resist paste is painted on fabric and then the fabric is dyed. The dye affects only those parts that are not covered by the resist paste. After dyeing, the resist paste is removed leaving a pattern on a dark background. Wax, chemical, paper stencil or mechanism is applied to fabric to resist color while dyeing fabric. #Procedure: Wash fabric to remove sizing. Use bees wax for sharp lines; paraffin leaves a crackle effect. ° Place a small amount of wax into top of double boiler, and boil water to melt; then simmer, keeping wax hot enough to penetrate the fabric. (Don't let it smoke.) ° There should be enough melted wax to coat bottom edge of the stamp, about 1/4 inch. Warm stamp in hot wax for 30 seconds; use pliers or a clothespin to lift out shallow objects. Drag stamp across rim of pot to remove excess wax. ° Stamp fabric in desired pattern, catching drips on kraft paper or an index card. ° In a large bowl, mix a dye bath of 1/2 cup liquid dye per gallon of hot water; the hot water required for powdered dyes will melt the wax. ° For colorfastness, add 1/2 cup salt or vinegar to the dye bath. Submerge fabric for a few seconds to 20 minutes, depending on the shade desired; stir periodically with dowel. ° Blot with paper towels and hang or lay flat to dry; fabric will lighten considerably. ° When fabric is dry to the touch, remove wax by ironing fabric on hottest setting (no steam) between layers of paper towels, plain newsprint, or kraft paper. ° Change paper often, until all wax is lifted. Recalcitrant wax can be dry-cleaned away or treated with wax-removing solvents.

💎As sewists, we often focus on perfecting our stitching, choosing the right fabrics, and selecting beautiful patterns. 💎However, one crucial step in the sewing process is often overlooked: ironing. 💎Ironing is more than just a finishing touch; it's an essential step that can make or break the quality of your sewing projects. 💥Why Ironing Matters: ✅1. Crisp Seams: Ironing helps create crisp, smooth seams that lie flat, giving your projects a professional finish. ✅2. Accurate Fit: Ironing ensures that your fabric is even and smooth, allowing for accurate fittings and adjustments. ✅3. Reduced Wrinkles: Ironing minimizes wrinkles, making your projects look fresh and polished. ✅4. Easier Construction: Ironing helps you work with fabric more efficiently, making it easier to construct complex designs. ✅5. Professional Finish: Ironing gives your projects a finished, high-quality look that's essential for selling or gifting. 💥Tips for Effective Ironing: ✅1. Choose the right iron: Invest in a good-quality iron with adjustable heat and steam settings. ✅2. Use a pressing cloth: Protect delicate fabrics with a pressing cloth or ironing board cover. ✅3. Iron as you go: Iron each seam as you complete it to prevent wrinkles from setting in. ✅4. Use steam: Steam helps smooth out wrinkles and creases. ✅5. Press, don't iron: Pressing involves applying gentle pressure, while ironing involves moving the iron back and forth. #mssakhies #ecoverde #sustainablefashion #SewingCommunity #DIYFashion #SewingBlog #SewingInspiration

#SuitStorageTips: How to Keep Your Suit Looking Fresh Properly storing your suit ensures it stays in great condition and lasts longer. Here are some essential tips for storing your suit: 1. Use a Quality Hanger: Avoid wire hangers as they can distort the shape of your suit. Opt for a wide-shouldered wooden or padded hanger to maintain its structure. 2. Invest in #GarmentBags: Protect your suit from dust, moths, and moisture by using a breathable garment bag. Avoid plastic, as it traps moisture and can damage the fabric over time. 3. Steam, Don’t Iron: To avoid damaging the fibers, use a steamer to remove wrinkles. Ironing can burn or flatten the suit fabric if not done carefully. 4. Brush and Air Out: After wearing your suit, brush it lightly to remove dirt and let it air out for a few hours before storing. This helps eliminate odors and prevents fabric damage. 5. Fold for Travel: If you’re packing your suit for a trip, fold it carefully. Lay the suit flat, fold in the shoulders, and fold it in half once. Use tissue paper to help prevent creasing. With these #simpletips, your suit will stay sharp and ready for any occasion!

Treating ink stains can vary based on the type of fabric and the ink. Here are some general steps you can follow: ### 1. Act Quickly - The sooner you treat the stain, the better the chances of removal. ### 2. Blot the Stain - Use a clean, dry cloth or paper towel to blot the stain gently. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the ink. ### 3. Test the Cleaner - Before applying any cleaning solution, test it on a small, inconspicuous area of the fabric to ensure it doesn’t cause damage. ### 4. Common Treatment Options #### For Water-Soluble Ink (e.g., from washable markers): - **Soap and Water**: Mix a few drops of dish soap with water. Dampen a cloth with the solution and blot the stain. - **Rubbing Alcohol**: Moisten a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol and dab the stain gently. #### For Permanent Ink (e.g., ballpoint pen): - **Rubbing Alcohol or Hand Sanitizer**: Apply a small amount directly to the stain and blot with a clean cloth. - **Hairspray**: Spray the area lightly, let it sit for a few minutes, then blot with a clean cloth. #### For Fabric: - After treating the stain, launder the fabric according to the care label instructions. Check to see if the stain is gone before drying; heat can set the stain. ### 5. For Carpet or Upholstery - Blot with a solution of water and dish soap, then rinse with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid soaking the area. ### 6. Repeat if Necessary - Some stains may require multiple treatments. ### 7. Professional Help - If the stain persists, consider taking the item to a professional cleaner. ### Tips - Always work from the outside of the stain toward the center to prevent spreading. - Avoid using bleach, which can damage fabrics and may not effectively remove ink stains. By following these steps, you should be able to effectively treat ink stains on various surfaces!

Dyeing yarn is a versatile technique that allows you to create unique and vibrant colors for your knitting or crochet projects. The two primary factors to consider are color and percentage. Choosing the Right Color The color of your dyed yarn will depend on the desired outcome and the base color of the yarn. Here are some common color options: * Solid Colors: Create a uniform hue throughout the yarn. * Ombre: Achieve a gradual transition from one color to another. * Dip-Dyed: Create a speckled or mottled effect by dipping sections of the yarn into different colors. * Tie-Dyed: Create intricate patterns by tying or folding the yarn before dyeing. * Marled: Combine multiple colors to create a variegated or heathered look. Understanding Percentage The percentage of dye used affects the intensity of the color. A higher percentage typically results in a deeper, more saturated color, while a lower percentage creates a lighter, more pastel shade. * 100%: This is the highest concentration and usually produces the darkest color. * 50%: A medium concentration that creates a balanced color. * 25%: A low concentration that produces a light or pastel shade.
