The technological features of stonewashed quilts are mainly as follows:
1. Distressed appearance: By using abrasives such as pumice and volcanic rock to roll and beat the fabric in a large industrial washing machine, the fibers on the surface of the fabric are worn off, thus presenting a gray, old and distressed effect, giving people a retro and rustic visual experience, and increasing the uniqueness and decorativeness of the quilt.
2. Soft and comfortable: During the stonewashing process, the friction between the abrasive and the fabric and the effect of hot water will make the fabric fibers softer and the fabric structure more fluffy, making the quilt extremely soft and comfortable, allowing users to enjoy a gentle wrapping feeling during sleep and improve sleep quality.
3. Natural folds: The stonewashing process will produce a natural fold effect on the quilt. These folds are not intentional, but add a natural beauty and casual charm to the quilt, making it look more casual and comfortable, echoing the style of the distressed appearance, and further enhancing the overall texture of the quilt.
4. Unique color: On the one hand, the fiber wear on the surface of the fabric during the stone washing process will cause the color to fall off slightly, making the color softer and more natural, presenting a light and elegant fading effect; on the other hand, some stone washed quilts will first quilt or embroider the undyed fabrics during production, and then dye them during the washing process, so that the color can better penetrate into the fiber, forming a unique color effect and texture, and the color fastness is relatively high.
5. Dimensional stability: During the stone washing process, the treatment of hot water and the shrinkage of the fibers will make the fibers of the quilt reach a relatively stable state in advance, thereby reducing the shrinkage phenomenon during subsequent use, ensuring the dimensional stability of the quilt, so that it can better adapt to the bed and maintain a good use effect.
6. Process environmental protection: Compared with some chemical treatment methods, the stone washing process mainly relies on physical friction and water washing to achieve the effect, which is relatively more environmentally friendly, reduces the dependence on chemical agents, reduces pollution to the environment, and also makes the quilt more natural and healthy, in line with modern people's pursuit of environmental protection and healthy life.
