How Brushed Cotton Can Improve Your Apparel

Cotton is one of the most versatile fabrics on the market today, boasting many uses beyond clothing production. Insulating, soft, durable and breathable, it makes cotton ideal for garments, bedding and textile products of all kinds. One way cotton can be improved upon is through brushing, which creates a soft napped texture. Brushed fabric is another highly smooth material with an eye-catching sheen, popularly used for apparel such as T-shirts and sweatshirts due to its added warmth without bulk. Brushed cotton bedding is another highly popular choice, adding an extra cozy comfort factor. Plus, its breathability will help regulate body temperature for optimal sleeping conditions.

Brushing cotton fabric results in thicker and softer fabric that's even softer, thicker and luxurious. Furthermore, this process creates microscopic air pockets within it - helping insulate against temperature drops. Brushed cotton also breathes better than regular cotton which makes it perfect for winter clothes and bedding alike.

Though brushed cotton fabric is strong and long-wearing, care must be taken when washing it to prevent its fibers from unraveling or becoming damaged. A delicate cycle should also be utilized as harsh detergents can damage its natural fibers and lead to fabric irritation or itchiness.

Pilling, the process by which short or broken fibers tangle together to form small knots on the fabric surface, can also be an issue when worn clothing has it attached to it, creating an unsightly appearance that gives off worn and scratchy vibes. Furthermore, extreme heat may burn or flatten out this material when ironed too quickly; when ironing brushed cotton fabrics it is wiser to set your iron on low temperature setting while only ironing on one side at a time.

Brushed cotton is a highly adaptable material, perfect for garments, bedding, and accessories of all kinds. With its extra warmth and suppleness making it suitable for wintertime apparel and bedding while its breathability making it suitable for summer apparel and accessories. Furthermore, being durable and long-term make this material the ideal choice when considering clothing which will experience heavy use over time.
