Different materials of stockings

There are many types of stockings, and the feel and weaving methods are very different, but they are always the same. The material of stockings is mainly composed of nylon and Lycra. A few expensive stockings will be added with silk, rayon, wool, cashmere, etc. .

Nylon: It is the greatest invention of the 20th century. In 1937, Carothers, a chemist of DuPont Company, accidentally discovered that a mixture of coal tar, air and water can be melted at high temperature to produce a material as hard as one of the potatoes. Abrasion-resistant, thin and flexible filament. This is nylon. The birth of nylon defeated Japan’s silk export industry, which was rampant at the time. Since then, nylon stockings have begun to occupy a major market share. During World War II, nylon was classified as military supplies, and the production of stockings was paralyzed. Until the end of the war, sales of nylon stockings resumed. Women happily queued up to buy nylon stockings. Women who were “thirsty for socks” couldn’t wait to buy nylon stockings. When I got home, I simply sat on the side of the road, exposing my snow-white thighs and putting them on in front of everyone. For a moment, my flesh was sultry, amorous, and my nosebleeds splattered. Until now, many stockings, like the classic French glass stockings, are still made of 100% Nylon. In other elastic stockings, nylon has always been the main ingredient.

Lycra: It is an elastic fiber that is completely monopolized by DuPont. Fabrics containing this elastic fiber will be marked with a Lycra label and the content is indicated. Lycra makes stockings conformable and as light as a second skin. They fit smoothly on the body and present a smooth and even appearance. Generally speaking, the higher the content of Lycra, the better the elasticity, resilience, color and breathability of the stockings (but the price will be higher). Note: Elastic stockings do not necessarily contain Lycra. The elasticity of ordinary stockings usually comes from the weaving method. Because the ductility of nylon itself is not good, inferior stockings will be deformed and scrapped after being worn once, while ordinary stockings are often worn several times. The threads will jump. Those cracks are not necessarily caused by you accidentally scratching them or the weight of your hands, but the nylon of the socks itself only has so long life.

3D Lycra: Lycra 3D is the latest technological achievement. It knits Lycra fiber into each way and knits it into loops. With Lycra? 3D stockings have a higher fit and gain the ability to shape. Because 3D Lycra is used vertically and horizontally The elasticity is equal, which makes the socks feel smoother and softer, and the wearing comfort is also greatly increased. Silk stockings with mercerization or plasticity often use this material. At the same time, 3D Lycra can also effectively improve the durability of stockings. One pair contains 3D Lycra’s 8DEN stockings are as durable as ordinary 20DEN stockings.
