Difference in Color Fastness between Piece-Dyed PV Jacquard Lining and Yarn-Dyed Jacquard Lining
In the high-end apparel and professional lining market, color fastness is a core indicator for evaluating fabric quality and durability. Shaoxing Yongjun Textile Co.,Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Yongjun Textile) has long been dedicated to producing high-quality PV jacquard linings and various dyed linings, accumulating extensive experience in dyeing technology and process innovation. In practical applications, piece-dyed PV jacquard lining and yarn-dyed jacquard lining exhibit significant differences in color fastness, which not only affect the fabric’s appearance but also directly impact the garment’s service life and customer satisfaction.
First, it is necessary to understand the basic process differences between the two. Piece-dyed PV jacquard lining is dyed after the grey fabric has been woven. The advantage of this process lies in the flexibility to adjust colors according to customer requirements, making it suitable for rapid market response and supporting small-batch, diversified order production. Yongjun Textile strictly controls dye bath temperature, time, pH value, and dye selection in the dyeing process, achieving fabrics with uniform, bright color and soft hand feel, while ensuring high color fastness under repeated washing and dry rubbing.
In contrast, yarn-dyed jacquard lining is dyed at the yarn stage before weaving. Since the yarn itself is already colored, there is no obvious color deviation during weaving. This process generally offers superior color fastness compared to piece-dyed fabrics, as the dye penetrates the fibers deeply, resulting in excellent light, wash, perspiration, and rubbing resistance. However, yarn-dyeing has limitations in terms of color adjustment and production flexibility, especially when rapid market response or small-batch, multi-color production is required. Piece-dyed linings have a clear advantage in these aspects.
In practical applications, piece-dyed PV jacquard linings produced by Yongjun Textile can achieve color fastness close to that of yarn-dyed fabrics through optimized processes. Using advanced R&D facilities and precise dyeing control technology, the company processes various materials such as polyester, polyester-cotton, cotton, rayon, nylon, and acetate, ensuring that the fabrics meet international standards for light, wash, perspiration, and rubbing fastness. Additionally, Yongjun Textile provides multiple finishing treatments, including coating, hot stamping, and composite processes, which minimally affect the color fastness of piece-dyed PV jacquard lining, ensuring that the fabric maintains both its intricate patterns and long-lasting color stability.
For garment manufacturers and brand clients, the choice of lining often depends on application needs and production strategy. Yarn-dyed jacquard linings are more suitable for high-end apparel requiring long-term use, such as suits, formal dresses, and premium coats, while piece-dyed PV jacquard linings excel in diverse styles, rapid market response, and small-batch customization. Through comprehensive optimization of dyeing processes, fiber selection, finishing treatments, and quality management systems, Yongjun Textile ensures that piece-dyed PV jacquard linings can meet or even exceed client expectations in terms of color fastness and durability, helping customers maintain competitiveness in the international market.

How to Choose the Appropriate Thickness and Hand Feel of PV Jacquard Lining According to Garment Type
In modern apparel manufacturing, the thickness and hand feel of linings directly affect garment comfort, appearance, and overall quality. Shaoxing Yongjun Textile Co.,Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Yongjun Textile) has long focused on developing and producing high-quality PV jacquard linings, providing tailored lining solutions for apparel manufacturers through advanced technology, strict quality management, and rich industry experience. When selecting PV jacquard lining, garment type is a key factor in determining fabric thickness and hand feel. Scientifically matching lining characteristics can enhance garment quality and improve the wearer’s experience.
For high-end suits, formal dresses, and coats, the lining thickness should be moderate with a smooth hand feel. Yongjun Textile typically selects fibers with good drape and softness, such as polyester or polyester-cotton blends, and employs precise jacquard weaving techniques to ensure the fabric presents refined patterns visually while maintaining a balance of softness and structure. Appropriate thickness provides internal support to the garment and prevents wrinkling, enhancing the garment’s neatness. To meet high-end client requirements for durability and comfort, the company strictly controls yarn density and weave structure to prevent deformation, pilling, or shrinkage during long-term use.
For lightweight casual apparel, sportswear, or outerwear, lining thickness is usually thinner and hand feel lighter. Yongjun Textile chooses soft and breathable PV jacquard linings to enhance comfort and reduce overall weight. Thin linings improve flexibility and facilitate heat transfer, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable during activity. By optimizing yarn twist and weave density, the company ensures that even thin linings maintain clear patterns, smooth hand feel, and good durability.
For functional apparel such as windproof or waterproof outerwear and professional workwear, lining thickness and hand feel are particularly critical. Yongjun Textile uses composite processing, coating, or anti-static treatments to match PV jacquard lining thickness with functional requirements. For example, linings in windproof jackets need to provide sufficient barrier and abrasion resistance while maintaining a soft hand feel, without compromising drape. Through fiber composition adjustment, jacquard pattern optimization, and weave density control, the company ensures that functional requirements and wearing comfort are both achieved.
Yongjun Textile also provides comprehensive technical support for clients’ individualized needs in color matching and pattern design. Through precision dyeing, printing, hot stamping, and composite processes, various visual effects can be realized on PV jacquard linings of different thickness and hand feel. Whether for formal occasions or casual activities, clients can find ideal linings that meet both functional requirements and aesthetic appeal.
Differences in Process between PV Jacquard Lining and Plain or Twill Linings
In modern apparel and lining production, fabric construction directly determines visual effect, hand feel, drape, and application scenarios. Shaoxing Yongjun Textile Co.,Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Yongjun Textile) has long specialized in high-quality PV jacquard lining production, leveraging advanced technology, strict quality control, and extensive industry experience to provide diversified lining solutions. In practice, PV jacquard lining exhibits significant process differences compared to plain weave and twill linings, affecting appearance, hand feel, and reflecting Yongjun Textile’s advantages in process innovation and production control.
Plain weave lining is the most basic weaving method, where warp and weft threads interlace simply in an alternating pattern, forming a tight and uniform surface. Plain weave linings are smooth with a firm texture, but pattern and dimensional effect are limited, suitable for general linings, jackets, or basic functional apparel. Twill linings, in contrast, adjust warp and weft interlacing to form diagonal lines, enhancing flexibility and drape. Twill linings are softer with moderate surface luster, but pattern expression is somewhat limited.
PV jacquard lining, however, uses jacquard weaving, where each warp thread is independently controlled by electronic or mechanical jacquard machines, forming complex, three-dimensional, and diverse patterns. Compared to plain and twill linings, PV jacquard lining allows high-precision pattern design and control over thickness, hand feel, and luster, making it visually and tactually richer. Yongjun Textile optimizes yarn twist, weave density, and pattern design to ensure clear patterns, soft hand feel, and good wear resistance in every batch.
In terms of dyeing, PV jacquard lining also demonstrates unique advantages. Plain and twill linings generally use piece-dyeing or yarn-dyeing, limiting pattern expression. Yongjun Textile’s PV jacquard lining can undergo piece-dyeing or yarn-dyeing after weaving, precisely controlling dyeing temperature, time, and formula to achieve uniform and layered patterns. Multiple finishing processes, such as embossing, hot stamping, composite, or coating, are also available, which are difficult to implement on plain or twill linings, greatly enhancing fabric added value and premium feel.
PV jacquard lining also offers highly controllable thickness and hand feel. Yongjun Textile can adjust softness, elasticity, and drape through yarn combination, weave density, and jacquard structure to meet professional lining requirements for suits, dresses, coats, and outerwear. Plain and twill linings have limited adjustability in this regard.
Care and Washing Instructions for PV Jacquard Lining
In apparel production and usage, the care and washing of linings directly affect garment durability, comfort, and appearance. Shaoxing Yongjun Textile Co.,Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Yongjun Textile), as a professional manufacturer of high-quality PV jacquard linings, has long focused on optimizing weaving processes and dyeing technology, fully understanding the importance of proper care in maintaining fabric performance. Correct care and washing can extend garment life and maintain the clarity of patterns, color brightness, and soft hand feel.
PV jacquard linings, due to their intricate patterns and diverse yarn combinations, require careful water temperature control during washing. Yongjun Textile recommends washing at temperatures below 30°C. High temperatures may cause fiber shrinkage or dye migration, affecting dimensional stability and color uniformity. Especially for polyester-cotton, polyester, and rayon blends, high-temperature washing may result in differential shrinkage, causing wrinkles or local stretching.
Regarding detergents, neutral or mildly alkaline detergents are recommended, while strongly alkaline or bleach-containing detergents should be avoided, as they can damage the fiber surface and reduce color fastness. PV jacquard linings from Yongjun Textile undergo rigorous color fastness testing before leaving the factory and can maintain pattern clarity and color stability under multiple normal washes, but high-concentration detergents or prolonged soaking should be avoided to protect fiber structure and pattern integrity.
Mechanical agitation and spin drying are also critical. Excessive agitation or high-speed spinning can cause wrinkles, fiber pulling, or local pattern distortion. Yongjun Textile recommends gentle hand washing or using the delicate cycle on washing machines, minimizing spin time to maintain fabric smoothness and pattern clarity. For premium PV jacquard linings used in suits or formal dresses, dry cleaning is recommended to maximize longevity and maintain optimal hand feel.
Sunlight exposure and storage conditions are important. Direct sunlight can fade colors, and prolonged high temperature or humidity can deform fibers or promote microbial growth. Yongjun Textile suggests air-drying washed linings flat or gently hanging, avoiding direct sunlight, and storing in dry, ventilated environments. Garments should not be heavily pressed during storage to prevent flattening or permanent creases in jacquard patterns.
Yongjun Textile also applies durability-enhancing processes during production, including anti-pilling, anti-static, and composite finishing, improving hand feel, luster, and resilience during daily use and washing. By following proper care instructions, clients can fully leverage these technical advantages, ensuring garments remain visually and tactually appealing over time.
For PV jacquard linings made from different fibers, Yongjun Textile provides professional washing guidance. Polyester and polyester-cotton blends have strong wash resistance but require temperature control during ironing. Rayon or acetate fabrics are better suited for low-temperature ironing or dry cleaning to avoid fiber deformation. Through long-term testing and optimization, Yongjun Textile ensures each batch of linings comes with practical, easy-to-follow care instructions, helping clients prolong product life and minimize after-sales issues.
