Heat absorption and heat release.

The structure of milk fiber also determines that it can be warm in winter and cool in summer. In summer, it can be made into light fabrics that can quickly absorb sweat and keep the skin dry and breathable; in winter, it can be made into thick fabrics to absorb the heat emitted by the human body, effectively block air circulation, prevent cold air from invading, and keep warm.
