Silk does not refer to a specific material, but a general term for many silk fabrics. Silk is a protein fiber. Silk fibroin contains 18 kinds of amino acids that are beneficial to the human body. It has good comfort and air permeability, and can help the skin maintain the metabolism of the lipid film on the surface, keeping the skin moist and smooth. Generally used to make close-fitting fabrics, silk scarves, dresses, pajamas, summer clothes, bedding, etc. are the main uses of silk.
Generally, silk fabrics are classified by momme, which is mm in abbreviation, and silk momme refers to the weight of the fabric.
1 Momme = 4.3056 grams/square meter
For the same variety or similar varieties, such as plain silk crepe satin, if the weight of the fabric is higher, the cost will be relatively higher, and the things will be relatively better; For completely different fabric varieties Generally speaking, a simple weight comparison is meaningless, because different fabrics are suitable for different styles of clothing.
For example, if 8 momme georgette is compared with 30 momme heavy silk crepe, if it is used to make silk scarves, then 8 momme georgette may be better and more suitable for silk scarves, while 30 momme heavy crepe Crepe is not so suitable.
Generally, silk fabrics are good or bad from two aspects.
One is the gray cloth, and the other is the dyeing process.
The gray cloth generally uses the American standard four-point system that is more commonly used in the world. The American Standard 4-point system is generally divided into five grades according to grades. 4 points is the best fabric, the smaller the score, the worse the fabric.
Because of the natural nature of silk fabrics, there will always be “defects” in the gray fabric, which is called “defects” in professional terms. How many “defects” there are on the fabric to illustrate the quality of the gray cloth. The international standards for defects are described as “dyed blanks” and “printed blanks”. The first, second and third grades are called dyed blanks, and the fourth and fifth grades are called printed blanks.
Why is the embryo cloth standard required for dyed embryos higher?
There are hair spots and fabric defects on the silk surface woven from poor silk. Solid-color fabrics can reveal the flaws of the fabric better, while the printed embryos will cover the flaws due to pigments, so generally solid-color fabrics are dyed gray silk to operate, so as to ensure the quality.
There are many kinds of dyeing processes, and the highest technology is radial spray dyeing.
This process has several advantages:
1The fabric will not be damaged in any way.
2There will be no difference between the left and right sides of the fabric (traditional low-end dyeing, the left and right sides of the fabric have different shades).
3The fabric has no tip (traditional dyeing process, the first two meters of the fabric will have obvious color difference due to the need to match the color sample). At the same time, the color fastness and environmental protection of the fabric meet the requirements, that is, it meets the national standard 18401-2010.
Generally speaking, the greater the weight, the more silk raw materials used, and the higher the cost. But the quality of the fabric is not directly proportional to the weight. The weight of the fabric is determined by the types of different fabrics and the style categories of different products.
So, the silk fabric is not the bigger the better.
Each has its specific product attributes to determine the required fabric weight.
