In fabric stores today there really is plenty to choose from. However, sometimes such a wide range confuses even the most knowledgeable person. After all, each material has its own properties and qualities. One is well suited for business suits and dresses, others for light summer sundresses or blouses. When buying, it is important to consider what will happen to the finished item after washing: whether it will sit down, shed or stretch. An example of such a mysterious material is cooler fabric. What it is, what it is used for, we will understand in our article.

The name itself is of French origin and translates as "bend". Culinary is a type of very fine weaving of a knitted cotton fabric. It holds its shape well, does not stretch or shrink, does not require special care, has a wrong side and a front side. Its standard density is 160 grams per square meter. It is known that the larger this parameter, the better the heat-shielding properties of the fabric, as well as its extensibility.

The material of the cooler is made using the technique of stocking knitting from thin threads. On the front side, peculiar “pigtails” are obtained, and on the back - “bricks”. How finished is the canvaswill be soft and durable - depends on the quality of the raw material and its processing. The resulting fibers are divided into three groups: short - up to 27 mm, medium - up to 35 mm, long - up to 70 mm. The latter is considered the most valuable and expensive, because the size determines what kind of thread you end up with: thin or thick, coarse or soft, twisted or elastic.

There are several types of yarn for cooler fabric: this is "Penye", made from a long fiber, "Carde" - medium, "Open end" - short and the remains of the first two. Threads "Penet" are subjected to additional processing, during which the so-called "fluff" is removed from it. This helps to produce a smoother knit.

How to recognize the real cooler fabric? That this is not a fake can be determined by its appearance and to the touch: silky, shiny, does not cough. It is quite resistant to abrasion, unlike products made from low-quality yarn, it practically does not wrinkle and gets dirty much less.

An important role in the appearance of the fabric is played by the degree of grinding of the threads. The higher it is, the less villi and nodules, which means that the material is softer and more elastic. It stretches well in width and sits on the figure. The downside in the processing of the canvas are the curling edges on the cut. But the finished products exceed all expectations.

For what kind of clothes is cooler fabric used? What kind of material it is can be seen in the departments of children's goods: T-shirts, T-shirts, undershirts, rompers, shorts,caps and more. And also in salons for women: dresses, sundresses, sweaters. Wearing it is a pleasure. It absorbs moisture well and allows the skin to breathe freely. In addition, thermal printing, silk-screen printing easily fit on it, and embroidery looks beautiful.

Now you all know about the cooler fabric: what it is, what things are sewn from it, and what properties it has. Therefore, you can easily distinguish a quality product from a fake. Happy shopping!
