Why does twill weave cotton and linen curtain fabric feel softer?

There are two main weaving methods for cotton linen curtains fabrics: plain weave and twill weave.

Plain weave cotton linen curtains fabrics, because the warp and weft yarns cross vertically, the cloth surface formed is relatively tight, the gaps between the yarns are relatively small, and the feel is not very soft. In contrast, twill weave cotton linen curtains fabrics have yarns interwoven diagonally at a certain angle, resulting in a fabric with better stretchability and elasticity. This structure makes the gaps between the yarns relatively large, which is conducive to air circulation. Therefore, twill weave cotton and linen curtains usually have better air permeability and greater elasticity. In addition, twill woven fabrics are visually more layered and feel relatively soft. This structure not only enhances the overall stability of the fabric, but also makes the fabric more solid at the intersection points of the warp and weft yarns. This firmness allows the fabric to better disperse pressure when it is subjected to external forces, resulting in a softer feel.

Cotton and linen fibers themselves have good softness and skin-friendly properties. Cotton fiber is soft, breathable, and hygroscopic, while hemp fiber has natural antibacterial and antistatic functions. Twill weave can give full play to the advantages of these two fibers, allowing the fabric to remain soft while also having a variety of other excellent properties.

Twill woven cotton linen curtains fabrics can also undergo special softening treatments during the production process, such as using softeners for post-finishing, which further improves the softness and comfort of the fabrics.

The reason why twill weave cotton linen curtains fabrics feel softer is due to the combination of its unique weave structure, fiber characteristics and possible softening treatments. This fabric is not only comfortable to the touch, but also has a variety of excellent properties, making it an ideal choice for home decoration.
