Silk generally refers to silk, including mulberry silk, tussaus silk, castor silk, cassava silk, etc. Silk belongs to the protein fiber series and contains a variety of amino acids that are beneficial to human health. It can help the skin resist ultraviolet rays and also help prevent the occurrence of skin diseases such as eczema and skin itching.
Silk fabric is pure white silk fabric of mulberry silk, made of twill tissue. According to the weight of the fabric square meters, it is divided into thin and medium sizes. According to the post-processing, it is divided into dyeing and printing. Its texture is soft and smooth, with a soft and light feel, and the colors are colorful, making it cool and comfortable to wear. Mainly used as summer shirts, pajamas, dress fabrics, headscarves, etc.
Silk variety and characteristics
1. crepe: shaped by high temperature, good wrinkle resistance. The fabric has stable structure, high printing and dyeing saturation, and bright color. The advantage of heavy crepe is that the fabric has better drooping properties and stronger wrinkle resistance.
2. George: There are thin and transparent George and rotten George, and there are thick and glutinous heavy George. The advantages of George are elegant and light; the advantages of heavy Qiao are cleverness, strong rebounding and good drooping.
3. Sangbo Satin: a conventional fabric among silk fabrics. The satin texture is clear and antique, and it is very noble.
4. Plain satin: It is a conventional fabric among silk fabrics. The bright satin is very noble, with a smooth feel and dense structure; the shrinkage rate of the fabric is relatively large, and the luster decreases after being put into the water.
5. Elastic plain satin: a new fabric with 90%-95% mulberry silk, 5%-10% spandex, which is an interwoven fabric. Its characteristics are good elasticity and comfort, relatively small shrinkage rate and unique style.
6. Warp knitted knitted: soft, delicate, soft and comfortable. It is a new knitted fabric with high technological content and is a high-end quality. Disadvantages of
Silk has worse wrinkle resistance than hair.
2. The light resistance of the silk is very poor and is not suitable for long-term sunlight.
3. Silks, like hair, are both protein fibers and are particularly afraid of alkali.
4. Silk clothes are easy to suck and are not strong enough.
5. Fading will occur under light, water, alkali, high temperature and mechanical friction.
Silk washing method
1. Avoid alkaline detergents, neutral or silk-specific detergents should be used, and should not be treated with chlorine-containing bleach or detergent.
2. Wash in cold water or warm water. Soak in water for about 10 minutes before washing, and it is not advisable to soak for a long time.
3. If you use ordinary washing powder or soap to wash, soak the cleaned clothes in water with 2 to 3 drops of vinegar for 5 minutes, and then clean them with clean water for 1 to 2 times. This can neutralize the alkaline substances on the clothes and maintain the bright color of the silk fabric.
4. Wash gently, avoid twisting and brushing, and avoid hard brushing.
5. It should be dry in the shade, avoid sun exposure, and should not be dried.
6. Some silk fabrics should be dry cleaned.
7. Dark silk fabrics should be rinsed in clean water to avoid fading.
Silk identification method
1. Gloss and feel recognition method: Spread the sample to see its appearance. The silk has the properties of absorbing light, which looks smooth and mirror-like. It is elegant and soft, with pearly texture, soft and flowing texture, and the silk thread is denser. There will be wrinkles when grasped with your hands. The higher the purity and the greater the density, the better the silk feel; although the simulated silk fabric has been removed and has a softer feel, the silk surface is darker and has no pearly luster; the chemical fiber fabric has bright and dazzling luster, and the feel is harder. In addition, silk products should have a slight scraping feeling. Friction between the two layers of fabrics will produce a &ldquoise "silk sound" while other raw materials do not.
2. Combustion method: Pull out some yarn to burn, the silk cannot see the open flame, it has the smell of burning hair, the silk ash becomes black particles, and can be crushed by hand; the simulated silk will cause flames when it encounters fire, and it will smell plastic. After the fire is turned off, hard glue will be left on the edge.
The shrinkage rate of silk is high. It is advisable to buy finished products to choose specifications that are one level higher than the actual demand. If it is fabric, before making it, you should put the fabric in clean water and soak it for more than 5 hours, so that the fabric can completely absorb moisture and then dry it, and then soak it for the second time. In this way, the silk will not deform after two soaking and drying. The clothes can be washed at will. However, if you choose medium and high-end silk, it is best to use it for dry cleaning, so that the fabric does not need to be soaked in advance.
