One of the most durable materials known in tailoring today is double thread. Many useful things are made from it, both everyday and special (like raincoats and work gloves). Such durable fabric can be achieved using a special weaving of cotton threads that seem to reinforce each other. In addition, nylon threads are often added to the composition to make the fabric even more resistant to wear and acquire a beautiful shine.
What kind of fabric is it - double thread
A dense and somewhat rough material with a special weave of threads is called double-thread. It is usually made on a cotton base. It is used not only in light industry, but is also widely used in furniture production, sewing accessories and handicrafts.
Important! The characteristics of a double thread depend on the type of weave of the threads and the quality of its processing.
The double thread is very durable, non-flammable, easy to clean and does not wrinkle. Athletes' suits are often made from similar fabric, as are mittens and workwear for construction workers, firefighters and other professional workers.
Composition and method of production
Double thread is a durable natural fabric, often with the addition of synthetic fibers, which is produced by special weaving of paired threads. There are several types of weave:
- matting (the most common option);
- jacquard;
- twill;
- satin.
Initially, the fabric was made from pure cotton, and only later did they begin to add elastane to the composition for greater strength and functionality. Often, nylon or lycra threads are included, which not only improves the performance of the material, but also gives it a special shine.
Properties and features of fabric
Among the main properties of double thread there are a huge number of undeniable advantages. It is durable and resistant to abrasion, and is not afraid of mechanical stress. Things made from such fabric are not afraid of temperature changes. The products are UV resistant and do not fade. The fabric does not deform or wrinkle, and also has high breathability capabilities. At the same time, the material is quite inexpensive and looks beautiful, especially if additional threads (for example, lycra) are added to its composition.
Among the pronounced shortcomings, only friability can be distinguished. When producing things from this fabric, you need to make patterns with a reserve, which slightly increases the cost of work. However, its stability and quality will more than compensate for this shortcoming.
What is sewn from double thread
Its scope of application depends on the quality of the source material. At the output you can find rough, unprocessed canvas, as well as high-quality material that has undergone special training.
The areas of use of double-thread are quite extensive:
- coarse fabrics are used for lining in workwear and the production of rough gloves (for example, for firefighters or welders);
- for the manufacture of furniture upholstery (due to wear resistance and resistance to UV rays, this is an ideal option for upholstering sofas and armchairs);
- for sewing women's bags;
- for embroidery on a hoop;
- sewing various clothes, including children's models and sports suits.
Important! Many manufacturers of sports shoes use double thread in the manufacture of models of sneakers and sneakers for sports and recreation. This is a durable and comfortable fabric that will retain its original appearance for a long time.
Double-thread tracksuit
The ideal option for creating comfortable and durable sportswear is double-thread. It has unique properties air and moisture exchange, helping the athlete feel comfortable during training. In addition, this fabric does not wrinkle or stretch, even with intense exercise and subsequent washing. The tracksuit will retain its original appearance for a long time.
Among other things, thanks to improved textile production, the canvas can be dyed in various colors. Each person will be able to choose clothes according to their taste and color preferences.
