In silk fabrics, silk and silk are relatively easy to be confused. Silk is a raw material, and silk generally refers to finished products. In other words, silk must be made of silk. Today, small silk will come to talk with you about the definition and characteristics of silk and silk. Please follow the small silk to see the following.

I. Mulberry Silk

(1) Overview

Mulberry silk is a continuous long fibre, also known as "natural silk", formed by the solidification of the secretion liquid of mature silkworm during cocooning. Like wool, it is one of the earliest animal fibers used by human beings. According to different foods, it can be divided into silkworm, tussah, cassava silkworm, camphor silkworm, willow silkworm and Antheraea yamamai. The silk strip drawn from a single silkworm cocoon is called cocoon silk. It is made of two single fibers bonded and coated with sericin. The cocoon silk of several cocoons is pulled out and wrapped with sericin. There are two kinds of silk: mulberry silk (also called raw silk) and tussah silk. They are collectively called silk.

(2) Characteristics

Mulberry silk is a natural animal protein fiber and the most important raw material for silk weaving. Smooth, soft, lustrous, warm in winter and cool in summer. When friction occurs, there is a unique "silk song" phenomenon. It has good extensibility, good heat resistance, and is not resistant to salt water erosion. It is not suitable to use chlorine-containing bleach or detergent.

Two, real silk

Common silk fabrics are crepe de chine, crepe de chine, georgette, jorgette de joe, jorgette de joe, mulberry satin, plain crepe satin, elastic crepe satin, warp knitting and so on. They have their own characteristics. Because of their different processing techniques, their prices will vary greatly. Generally speaking, crepe de Chine fabric has stable texture, good wrinkle resistance, high saturation of printing and dyeing, and bright color after high temperature setting; crepe de Chine has the advantages of better drape and stronger wrinkle resistance; Jorge has the advantages of elegance and lightness; Sangbo satin is a conventional fabric in silk fabric, with clear Satin texture and antique fragrance; plain crepe satin is bright, noble and handy. Smooth, the shrinkage of the fabric is relatively large, and the gloss of the fabric decreases after launching. Elastomeric crepe satin is a new fabric, which contains 5% to 10% spandex in addition to mulberry silk, and belongs to interwoven fabric.

(2) Characteristics

Silk is characterized by good elasticity and relatively small shrinkage; while warp knitted fabrics have a soft handle and belong to new special knitted fabrics with high technological content and are high-end fine products, and the price will certainly be much higher.

Through the above reading, I believe that you have a very preliminary understanding of the characteristics between silk and mulberry silk in silk fabrics, as well as a considerable guarantee for the purchase of related commodities in the future.
