Types of linen and fabric Types of linen and fabric

The fibers that are most commonly used today can be divided into two categories:

o Natural fibers (vegetables and animal)o Man-made fibers(regenerated or synthetic)

NATURAL FIBERS

WOOL - The most commonly used wool comes from sheep. It can also be produced

from camel and rabbits. The most popular wool is produced from Merino and Crossbred sheep in Australia.

- Wool is extensively used in hotels although expensive. It used for carpets, blankets and upholstery.

- Wool does not flatten or crease easily and very elastic.- Wool easy to clean and fire resistant.- Often mixed with with other man-made fabric in 80/20 rations to make it more affordable.

SILK- Silk is the strongest of natural fibers and a very light fabric.

- Some of its usage in hotel include wall covering,cushion cover and bed sheets.

- Silk has a draping power – which means it retains shape and caresses the body. It also an elastic fabric.

- It is a very expensive and seldom used in hospitality except for luxury suites and apartments.

COTTON -Cotton comes from the cotton plant seed grown in India,USA,Egypt,West

Indies and China.

-Cotton is used for bed linen,table linen,towel and uniform.

-very absorbent,easily laundered and more resistant to bleaches and alkalis. Cotton is stronger when wet than dry.

-Nowdays a man-made fiber polyester is added to cotton to make it resistant to wrinkle.

- All cotton tend to shrink during the first few washings unless they have been pre-shrunk.

a)Fabric no need to identification since we can read the label and understand the characteristics of the fabrics.

b)Fabric no need to complicate of sorting by type of fabrics and washing process will be easy.

c)Save time when trying to figure out the exact type of fabrics for quality, checking, washing and knowledge purposes.
