Natural fibers refer to cellulose materials derived from plants and animals, including cotton, linen, silk, wool, etc. In autumn and winter, people usually choose to use natural fiber fabrics to make clothes. This is because natural fibers have many advantages but also some disadvantages.
1. Advantages:
(1) Strong hygroscopicity: Natural fibers have good hygroscopic properties and can quickly absorb sweat from the body surface , keeping skin dry and comfortable.
(2) Good breathability: Because natural fibers are hydrophobic, moisture vapor can be discharged through the gaps between fibers, providing good air circulation and allowing the skin to breathe smoothly.
(3) Soft and comfortable: The fiber structure of natural fiber is delicate and soft, comfortable to touch, and unlikely to cause skin allergies or irritation.
(4) Good warmth retention: The physical structure of the fiber enables it to effectively lock in heat while forming an air layer, providing a good warmth retention effect.
(5) Environmentally friendly and sustainable: Natural fibers come from plants and animals, are renewable resources and are easy to degrade, with less impact on the environment.
2. Disadvantages:
(1) Easy to wrinkle: Some natural fibers such as linen and silk are prone to wrinkles and are difficult to wear when worn. It needs to be ironed frequently to keep it flat.
(2) Poor durability: Some natural fibers are prone to wear and pilling under long-term use and friction, resulting in a relatively short service life of the fabric.
(3) Color fading: Some natural fibers are prone to fading when exposed to sunlight, so long-term exposure to sunlight needs to be avoided.
(4) Poor wrinkle resistance: Compared with synthetic fibers, natural fibers have slightly worse wrinkle resistance and are prone to wrinkles due to use and washing.
(5) Higher prices: Some high-quality natural fiber fabrics are relatively expensive due to complex production processes, scarcity of resources and other factors.
In general, the choice of natural fiber fabrics in autumn and winter is very suitable. They have the advantages of good hygroscopicity, good breathability, and good warmth retention, which can help people stay warm and comfortable in the cold season. At the same time, despite some shortcomings, this does not affect the wide application of natural fiber fabrics in autumn and winter. People can enjoy their unique advantages as long as they pay attention to reasonable use and maintenance.
