Since the outbreak of Covid-19, our living habits and working way have been forced to change, with the rise of office leisure culture and fitness, comfortable and multi-scenario fabric is in high demand. Boiled wool is one of the most classic woolen fabrics of high quality, known for its boiled surface, comfortable touch, and warmth. It is suitable for making overcoats and casual outwear & jackets etc.
We shipped boiled wool container by container to the European market from 2010, through the years of cooperation with many famous brands and whole-sellers, we developed many new loop/fluffy surface styles in different weights/compositions.
Through the year experience of proceeding many boiled wool orders, we know its features well, such as natural shrinkage which is bigger than a normal one (normally we will offer each bulk roll 0.5m more free of charge), so before garment factory tailoring, preshrinking is a quite important procedure. Since surface style controlling is also a headache for technicians.
Expertise through experience
The most impressive order was a khaki boiled wool(40%wool 60%viscose 430gsm 140cm) for an American brand, the customer confirmed color standard in a lab-dip way because of delivery, and the customer required highly on bulk colorfastness to crocking(rubbing), so we put pressure on our technician/workshop.
During the bulk production, our sales team internally rejected the color of the bulk sample roll twice. We pushed the third try, still had color deviation to color standard(confirmed lab-dip) with Metamerism phenomena, we were confused -what happened?
However, by checking with our technicians about all factors, finally figured out it was a problem related to the dyeing method. To meet customers’ high requirement of colorfastness, our technicians’ used the double-bath dyeing way(dyeing wool and viscose fiber twice separately by separate dyestuff ) which could achieve better color fastness, instead of lab-dip one-bath dyeing way(dyeing wool & viscose together by same Direct Union dyestuff). And at last, we adopted one-batch dyeing with a soaping way to settle this case satisfactorily.
TERMINOLOGY EXPLANATION
- Metamerism and color constancy:
Metamerism definition: A phenomenon exhibited by two samples( i.e Lab dip/Color standard/bulk sample) that match under one light source, but do not match under a different source. And this is due to the fact that the dye recipe is unstable and needs to be reformulated. The lab technician is responsible for developing a dye formula that is stable & needs to control flare, If unable to control the flare, the lab technician must submit the best match to standard with the least amount of flare.
- Color Constancy / Inconstancy:
A descriptor is used to describe how constant the color of a sample remains as lighting conditions change. For example, a bluish-green in D65 may appear much yellower in UL30 lighting. The significance of this difference would define how constant that color is.
