Long-staple cotton and fine-staple cotton are relatively unfamiliar to people who have no special knowledge of fabrics. They are both types of clothing fabrics. In order to let everyone better understand these two fabrics. In this article, the editor will introduce to you the two fabrics, long-staple cotton and fine-staple cotton, and what are the differences between them.

Let’s first take a look at long-staple cotton, which is also called island cotton in some places. At present, domestic long-staple cotton is mainly produced in Xinjiang, and the cotton has very excellent quality. The fibers of long-staple cotton are slender, and the ones with better quality can reach more than 60 mm. Because the output of sea-island cotton is small and there is a huge demand in the textile field, its price is much more expensive than other cottons.

Then let’s talk about fine-staple cotton. Like long-staple cotton, it was originally grown on islands. The main difference between it and long-staple cotton is the length and fineness of the fibers, as well as the cross-section of their fibers. There is also a difference in shape. The length of long-staple cotton fiber is 33 to 39 mm, and the longest is up to 64 mm; the fineness is 7000 to 8500 meters and the width is 15 to 16 microns; the strength is high, 4 to 5 grams per root, and the breaking length is 33 to 40 Kilometers; there are many turns, ranging from 80 to 120 centimeters. Normal mature fine cotton fiber, white or milky white in color, with mercerization, length 23~33 mm, fineness 5000~6500 mg, width 18~20 microns, natural twist of 39~65 cm, strength 3~4.5 Keligan, the fracture length is 20 to 25 kilometers. This is the main difference between these two fabrics.
