What is semi-linen and how is the fabric used?

It is important for consumers of textile products to find out what kind of fabric it is - semi-linen, what are its properties. It is useful to deal with suppliers of dense fabrics from Belarus and manufacturers in Russia. It is also necessary to study the application of semi-linen towel material and its use for bed linen.

First of all, the properties of the semi-linen are remarkable. This is a lightweight and at the same time durable matter, which convincingly refutes the myth, as if only dense fabrics can be mechanically strong and reliable... There is no doubt about the durability of such material. Polulen is practical and safe for people, including in terms of allergic reactions. Typical semi-linen products provide good breathability and are inexpensive, wear little and come in a wide variety of colors.

Half linen cannot be washed with other fabrics. It is recommended to choose modes of 30-40 degrees with a duration of no more than 60 minutes. Only for heavily soiled fabrics, this period is extended by another 30 minutes. White semi-linen can be bleached, but without the use of chlorine. Spinning is carried out at the lowest speed.

Ironing is carried out from the inside out without steaming. The temperature on the iron should be 130 degrees... It is necessary to store products made of such fabric under the condition of good ventilation and without direct sunlight. Hanging on a hanger or folding on a shelf is allowed.Drying is carried out in a straightened state without any folds or creases.

The composition of semi-linen fabric can be quite different. The standard recipe is considered to be 55% cotton and 45% linen, as well as a 70/30 ratio. Semi-linen is sometimes made harsh, or rather, on a harsh basis. This performance is also typical for printed fabrics. Linen can be combined not only with cotton, but also with viscose.

The viscose version is thin and flows easily. It has attractive hygiene properties and shrinks very little. Unlike the cotton version, creasing is not typical. The addition of polyester or polyester reduces the hassle of care and makes the fabric more accessible, but the tactile sensation in this case will be worse. The combination of linen and spandex increases the elasticity of the fabric.
