Knitwear has the largest number of varieties. All of them differ in composition, manufacturing method, and also in tactile characteristics. Of these, excellent in quality and most pleasant to the skin is a fabric footer. What it is, how it is produced, and also where it can be used, we will consider in this article.
What kind of fabric is a footer?
Futer is a knitted fabric that has a smooth surface (very similar to a kneading ) on the front side, and a purple surface with a purl face. It is thanks to this, it is so nice to wear, because the skin comes into contact with the underside.
The composition of the main (smooth) part of the footer fabric includes natural fibers (cotton) sometimes with the addition of lycra, making it more shiny, elastic, yet elastic, and strong. On this basis, the futter thread is attached from the wrong side. This is done in a special way - broaching.
Depending on how much thread was used in the embroidering, the fabric of the footer is two-threaded and three-stranded. After joining to the canvas, the futter threads are machined. As a result, three-threaded fabric can be made with different thicknesses of fleece: as in a thin baize or fleece - thick. While the two-part will be smooth from all sides.
Futer gets more and more popularity for making everyday clothes. This is due to the fact that it has the following properties:
- it transmits air;
- keeps warm well;
- quickly absorbs moisture;
- is hypoallergenic;
- It is durable, which contributes to the fact that it preserves the form for a long time, that is, it does not stretch even with an active toe;
- durable, as it is not subject to the formation of puffs, crochets and scuffs on it.
But also it is worth considering that the footer is able to shrink and burn. To prevent this from happening, you should properly take care of this tissue.
How to care for footer?
Fundamental rules:
- A thick footer is ironed on the "cotton" mode, and a thin one is "silk" or "delicate".
- Washing should take place at a water temperature of +35 - 40 ° C and +55 - 60 ° C for thin and thick material, respectively. If you do not follow these recommendations, then the thing can change its size to a smaller side.
- To cleanse dirt, it is better to use delicate detergents (powder or liquid). Under no circumstances can this fabric be boiled.
- Dry in the shade. When direct sunlight hits the product from the footer, it can be burned out.
What is sewed from fabric footer?
The difference between clothes from ordinary jersey and footer is especially felt by people with delicate skin and children. That is why it is used to make clothes for newborns : bodi, little men, sliders, hats and even diapers. Such products of children's wardrobe will be safe for babies and will withstand many washing.
For adults, footwear and pajamas are often sewn from the footer.
Also popular are clothes for sports (sports suits, trowels and pants). This is due to the fact that unlike conventional knitwear, the footer does not stretch and there are no tightening with the pellets, and unlike the fabric "diving" - it well passes air, which prevents the formation of a greenhouse effect during exercise.
