What Is Mink Yarn?

Mink yarn is mink velvet, and they refer to ordinary mink velvet. In the yarn market, mink yarn for knitting generally refers to a new type of fabric. It is usually made of raccoon fur, rabbit fur and other different types of chemical fiber materials.

Mink yarn, as the name suggests, is a sweater fabric with rich plush and close-fitting warmth like "mink", not the fluff of the fur animal mink. It is a new type of fabric with rich plush, glossy color, smooth hand feeling, soft and firm, and warm next to the skin. The sweater coat woven with it is elegant and luxurious, and it is a rare and ideal winter wear.

According to the specifications of chemical fiber materials, it is subdivided into: filament, spun, Micro-polar fleece. Among them, the superfine quality is the best and the price is the highest. Compared with other chemical fiber wool, mink wool has the characteristics of rich plush, smooth color, smooth hand feeling, soft and strong, close-fitting and warm. Winter clothing such as sweater coats made of it are elegant and luxurious, and have good cold resistance.

Process

Mink yarn has made great breakthroughs in technology through continuous product improvement and upgrading in recent years, mainly in two aspects.

First, mink velvet yarn is the same as cashmere yarn. The higher the velvet content and the purer the raw material, the lower its firmness, and it is easy to break if pulled hard. Therefore, the weaving of mink velvet sweaters requires ordinary wool wiring , so that the clothes are not only firm but also more elastic. However, under the existing new technology, the mink wool yarn can be made into a very strong sweater coat without adding wiring.

Second, because mink wool contains a lot of animal hair such as raccoon dog hair and rabbit hair, the complexity and difficulty of dyeing is much higher than that of ordinary chemical fiber wool, so the processing cycle is longer than ordinary wool, and the cost is also higher. However, after continuous trials and improvements, in recent years, most printing and dyeing factories have been able to achieve the same delivery time of mink wool as ordinary wool, and the colors can also be as colorful as ordinary wool. Fleece sweaters are gradually becoming popular among mass consumers.

Washing

Mink yarn coats look high-end and elegant, light and warm, but they need to be maintained carefully, otherwise they are prone to hair loss and deformation. When wearing clothes made of mink velvet, you need to pay attention to these:

Although mink yarn has good elasticity, it is easily deformed by machine washing, and its fluff is long, so frequent machine washing is easy to shed hair, so it is best to wash it by hand.

The surface of the mink yarn fiber is composed of many scales. After frequent friction, the scales in the fiber become rough, which makes the clothes easy to pill. Therefore, when wearing this kind of clothes, reduce the friction of the sleeves and the back to avoid the roughness of the clothes.

Mink yarn is not resistant to alkali. When cleaning, you should choose a mild detergent that does not contain alkaline substances. For example, washing clothes and soap are not suitable. Instead, use a neutral laundry detergent for simple rinsing without rubbing hard.

Application

Mink fleece is the latest and most fashionable fabric in woolen fabrics. The product is characterized by smooth hand feeling, excellent skin affinity, and warm and comfortable wearing next to the skin.

It is mainly used in the production of women's clothing. The short mink sweater can be worn inside, and the long mink sweater can be worn directly as a coat. Mink wool products can also be made into autumn and winter dresses, coats, and inner linings of winter clothes.

Place of origin

In the past, the supply of raw materials for mink yarn was mainly from the four Nordic countries and North America. The sales volume produced in these two places accounted for 56% of the world; the other 44% was produced by other countries. Now China's output has reached the first place in the world.
