The range of fabrics in the store is amazing in its diversity: linen, silk, knitwear, wool, cotton and a couple dozen more materials little known to the average buyer. But it’s not just the composition that distinguishes all these fabrics. Another important nuance is the way they are woven. It is these two subtleties that allow manufacturers to create dozens of fabrics for all occasions, the names of which even a professional tailor can get confused about. Sometimes fabrics with completely different composition, production method and purpose may have identical names. One of these is a two-thread one.
Double thread fabric - what is it?
The description says that the basic version is a harsh, durable material of rough manufacture. It is not subject to additional processing.
There is also a finished two-thread - not everyone knows what it is. This is a fabric that can be further processed.
What is a double thread? This is a fabric woven from double threads. It has several varieties.
Double thread
Gozhka
It has a standard plain weave. Unbleached cotton is used in production. The work consists of several stages:
- Using a loom, a harsh fabric is produced that has a gray tint. In some cases, it goes to work as is. The harsh canvas is used for packaging, crafts, and organizing space in eco-style.
- The harsh fabric is impregnated with an adhesive containing starch, an antiseptic and a substance that softens the fibers.
- The canvas is stretched so that there are no deformations or distortions on it.
- At the last stage, it is processed with calender rollers to achieve smoothness.

Satin
This is a fabric with a smooth shiny surface. For production, cotton is used that has undergone mercerization (that is, cotton fiber is dipped into a solution of alkali and acid in turn). This fiber becomes stronger and lends itself better to dyeing. Next, satin is woven from twisted threads (the more twisted the threads are, the more expressive the fabric will be). At the last stage it is bleached and stained. Any colors and prints fit perfectly on this canvas.

Atlas
The production of such fabric is very similar to the production of satin, however, the latter has four or more warp threads overlapping the wefts, while satin has several weft threads.

Jacquard
This is a fabric with a complex weave of a large number of threads.

Two-thread severe
Double thread is a harsh fabric that deserves special attention. It turns out to be rough to the touch at the first stage of double-thread manufacturing. This fabric is produced with a special finishing - sizing, which significantly improves consumer qualities.

For your information! In general, if the fabric does not go to the next stages of double-thread production, then it is dried, deformations are eliminated, and smoothed. The result is a wear-resistant, moisture-resistant, airtight, heat-resistant fabric.
A harsh two-thread thread is not suitable for all products. It is widely used in the production of work clothes (especially for firefighters or employees of hot shops), furniture, insoles, art hosts, bags, and children's toys.
Caring for a severe one is no different from caring for a regular two-thread one.
Note! It turns out that there is a double-thread knitwear knitted from two threads. They also call it footer. They are made mainly from cotton, sometimes synthetics are added.

Possible composition
Previously, 100% cotton was used to make double-thread fabric. When creating modern varieties of fabric, synthetics can be used. The content of artificial fibers varies, most often it is 40%. Synthetic fibers improve the performance and aesthetic properties of the material. After adding artificial fibers to the composition, the density range of the double thread was 180 – 250 m². This has led to the expansion of the fabric's capabilities, as well as its scope of application.
A modern double-thread may contain the following fibers:
- cotton;
- polyester threads;
- polyamide fibers;
- lycra;
- nylon;
- elastane;
- other natural fibers, such as wool, etc.
Thanks to natural and synthetic fibers, the material has acquired new properties.
Double-threaded pure cotton is coarse, durable, and resistant to wear and tear and high temperatures. This fabric allows air to pass through and repels moisture thanks to special impregnations.
