What's the best yarn you've found for cushions?

图片
 The following are functional yarns recommended for sofa cushions/seat cushions: 1. Recommended functional yarns Chenneille yarn The composite structure of two strands of core yarn twisted with feather yarn gives the fabric a thick and luxurious feel while maintaining soft drape, which is suitable for high-end sofa cushions. High-density chenille yarn has strong wear resistance and is resistant to steel wool scratches and pilling, making it especially suitable for pet families. Plant fiber yarn Natural ice hemp/flax fiber is breathable and sweat-absorbent. It can reduce the body temperature by 3-4℃ in summer and has excellent anti-slip performance. Jute blended yarn has outstanding toughness, and the non-woven fabric design on the bottom enhances anti-slip properties. The cost performance is higher than that of pure natural fibers. 2. Seasonal adaptation plan Preferred in winter: Cotton yarn (high count above 2/26NM) feels warm to the touch and is combined with coarse spinning tec...
