According to Jiangsu Public News Channel "News Space Station": Recently, the temperature has continued to drop, and the sales of cashmere sweaters with good warmth retention, softness and comfort have increased, and the current market is full of cashmere sweaters. How should consumers distinguish the true from the false?
Cashmere sweater is a garment knitted from cashmere , and the cashmere content must be more than 30%. Among them, the cashmere content between 30% and 95% is blended cashmere sweater. Only when the cashmere content reaches 95% or more can it be marked as 100% cashmere or pure cashmere sweater. The reporter learned from the Nanjing Municipal Quality Inspection Institute that in the supervision and spot checks of cashmere sweaters over the years, shoddy and substandard fiber content are the most important problems.
Zhu Xiaofang, a senior engineer at the Outdoor Center of Nanjing Quality Inspection Institute, told reporters that one problem is that there is no cashmere content at all, but the cashmere content is marked. There are also standard cashmere percentages that do not meet the requirements. For example, the standard cashmere content is 50%, but the actual detection may only be 20% or 30%.
In terms of characteristics, cashmere feels soft, smooth, shiny, and has good heat retention. Quality inspection experts suggest that consumers can first touch and then grasp when purchasing cashmere sweaters, and choose by feel.
Zhu Xiaofang said that the suede surface of pure cashmere is very plump, the hand feel is very soft, the weight is very light, and the color is very soft. After grasping it with your hand, it can be quickly opened, and it can quickly rebound when released. The elasticity is very good; if mixed with other fibers, the hand is not so soft and waxy.
For cashmere sweaters that are nominally 100% cashmere, consumers can also identify them through two small experiments.
Zhu Xiaofang's trick is to pull a little fibrous ball from the top, hold it with tweezers, and burn it with a lighter. It smells of burning hair. Open, it will not be twisted like chemical fibers. Usually, it can be dissolved with 84 disinfectant. If it is pure cashmere, it can be completely dissolved in 84 disinfectant.
