Why Do Woven Fabrics Wrinkle Easily

Woven fabrics are made by vertically interlacing warp and weft yarns (such as cotton, linen, and polyester). They have a tight structure but lack elasticity, making them prone to permanent creases after pressure or friction. According to data from the International Textile Association, the wrinkling rate of pure cotton woven fabrics is as high as 65%-80%, far higher than knitted fabrics (about 20%). In addition, excessive mechanical force during washing and improper drying methods can also exacerbate wrinkles.
