For pet apparel,there are many different fabrics for choosing,how to choose a suitable and comfortable fabric to make the pet apparel? In fact, you can considering from the following points:
1) Fabrics are selected by composition
There are many components of fabric, such as cotton, polyester, viscose, nylon, wool,acrylic etc.
If you want to make home or comfortable apparel, you can choose pure cotton or cotton content of relatively high fabric. Children’s apparel always select cotton fabric,it’s not easy to get static electricity, not easy to cause allergies and other problems.
If you want to make a coat, you can choose polyester or nylon material. This material is resistant to dirt and wear, and some can be waterproof, it’s always use for raincoat and outdoor coat,that ‘s good for walking dog outside.
If it is to keep warm in winter, it generally contains wool or relatively thick plush material. Most of this kind are polyester. In order to prevent static electricity, the inner layer can be made of pure cotton or non-static material.
Fabric type
Fabric is generally divided into knitting and woven, most of knitting fabric is with elasticity and most of woven fabric is without elasticity.
Generally speaking, knitted fabric is the use of knitting needles to bend the yarn into a circle and interlace the formation of fabric. The difference between knitted fabric and woven fabric lies in the shape of the yarn in the fabric, which is interwoven by warp and weft and has two directions.
Our everyday T-shirts and hoodies are mostly knitted fabrics, while chiffon, shirts and the like are mostly woven fabrics.
Both kinds of fabric should be elastic and non-elastic,the choice of fabric depends on the style of the apparel.
We can do the following prints to increase the sense of design
1) Allover printing:can be screen printing or digital printing
2) Partial printing:can be offset printing
Personal experience to share: pet daily clothing can choose cotton fabric, and it’s better to with elasticity,it’s healthy and easy to put and take off.
