Plush toys are loved by people because of their realistic and cute shapes and soft touch, but do you know what fabrics are generally used for plush toys? Next, let's learn about it with the editor of Ha Yidai.
In fact, there are many materials for plush toys. The more common fabrics are: long plush such as South Korean plush, peacock plush, heim plush, sheep pen plush, sunflower plush V yarn, T yarn, and teddy-like ones such as straw plush, water-fallen plush, steam plush, and other long plush. There are rich plush, polar fleece, coral fleece, etc. Short plush includes sheared plush, super soft short plush, towel plush, etc. The most common fabrics for plush toys on the market should be South Korean plush, heim plush, V yarn (more simulation animal toys), sheep pen plush, coral fleece, super soft short plush, sheared plush, etc. The following is a specific introduction to two commonly used plush toy fabrics:
1. Short velvet fabric
Short velvet fabric, the best material for toys, is currently the most fashionable fabric in the world. The surface of this fabric is covered with erected velvet, the height of which is generally about 1.2mm, forming a flat velvet surface, so it is called velvet.
Features of short velvet:
The surface of velvet is densely covered with erected velvet, so it feels soft and elastic, has a soft luster, and is not easy to wrinkle. The velvet is thick, and the surface velvet can form an air layer, so it has good warmth retention.
Appearance of short velvet: The appearance of excellent short velvet should meet the requirements of plump and upright velvet, flat and dense, smooth and flat velvet surface, soft color, small directionality, soft and smooth feel, and elasticity.
This fabric is mostly used to make some cartoon characters and plant-based plush toys. Because the length of the plush of this fabric is short and it is not easy to shed hair, and the plants themselves do not have hair like animals, short velvet can better show the characteristics of plants and has a high degree of simulation. The same is true for cartoon characters, but some special cartoon characters are excluded.
2. Plush fabrics
This type of fabric is made by combining thread making technology with artificial fur technology. Fabrics made of polyester filament are the mainstream products. The new fabrics developed combine thread making technology with artificial fur technology. The products have a unique style and strong three-dimensional sense. It can show elegance and wealth, as well as gentleness and beauty.
This type of fabric is mostly used to make animals with long hair, such as plush teddy bears, plush teddy rabbits and other animals. This can better show the simulation of plush toys, and the degree of realism will be greatly improved.
What are the fabrics of general plush toys? The main ones are the two mentioned above, short velvet and long plush fabrics. There are also some plush toys with machines as the theme. These can also use short velvet fabrics, but some images such as robots can better reflect the characteristics of robots with lintel cloth. For the fabric selection of plush toys, it depends on what kind of image the plush toy is. Different plush fabrics are used according to different image items.
