This fabric is made of 100% cotton, and the coated fabric has excellent windproof performance. The fabric is relatively smooth, soft to the touch, strong skin friendly, rich in colors, and glossiness. Moreover, some coated fabrics can even play a good waterproof role and have rainproof properties. Suitable for making raincoats, advanced waterproof and breathable ski clothing, hiking clothes, etc.
Can Cotton Twill Be Dyed?
Cotton fibers are highly absorbent, making them ideal for taking up dye.
The twill weave does not interfere with the dyeing process; in fact, it can enhance the fabric’s appearance by emphasizing texture and depth of color.
Cotton twill is typically piece-dyed or garment-dyed, though yarn-dyeing is also common, especially for patterns like denim or chino fabrics.
Suitable Dyes for Cotton Twill:
Reactive dyes (most common; form a chemical bond with the fiber)
Direct dyes (simple process, but less washfast)
Vat dyes (excellent colorfastness; used in denim)
Sulfur dyes (typically used for darker shades like blacks and navy)
Key Considerations:
Pre-treatment (scouring or bleaching) may be needed for uniform dye uptake.
Post-dyeing washing and fixing are important for colorfastness.
