1. Source of material: the gift of mulberry silk
The core of Silk crepe de chine lies in its raw material - mulberry silk. Mulberry silkworms, this ancient and mysterious creature, feed on mulberry leaves, and the silk they spit out is smooth and tough. Since ancient times, it has been the first choice for making high-grade silk. Mulberry silk is not only rich in natural protein fibers, has good breathability and moisture absorption, but also can automatically adjust with the changes in human body temperature, giving the wearer the most comfortable experience. Choosing mulberry silk as the main raw material for Silk crepe de chine is not only a respect for traditional craftsmanship, but also a pursuit of high-quality life.
2. Warp and weft interweaving: unique weaving art
The weaving process of Silk crepe de chine is an ultimate exploration of precision and aesthetics. Its warp and weft configuration is particularly unique. The warp usually uses untwisted monofilaments or weakly twisted yarns. This design keeps the warp relatively straight and provides a stable structural foundation for the fabric. The weft uses strong twisted yarns, which increase the twist to enhance the elasticity and wrinkle resistance of the weft, and also lays the groundwork for the subsequent crepe effect.
On the loom, the weft is woven alternately with two left-twisted threads and two right-twisted threads. This unique weaving method forms a plain weave. However, unlike ordinary plain fabrics, the weft of Silk crepe de chine undergoes subtle changes due to the difference in twist during the interweaving process, thus forming micro-convex and wavy scale-shaped wrinkles on the surface of the fabric. This naturally formed crepe effect gives the Silk crepe de chine a unique visual beauty, making its luster softer, and its feel softer and more elastic.
3. Unique charm: the fusion of nature and craftsmanship
The charm of Silk crepe de chine lies in the fact that it can show the softness and luster of silk without losing the agility and change of crepe fabrics. The micro-convex and wavy wrinkles on its surface sparkle with delicate luster under the light, like the light swaying gently on the water, which is both elegant and lively. The soft feel makes people feel the tenderness and care from nature at the moment of touch.
In addition, silk crepe de chine has good air permeability and moisture absorption. Even in the hot summer, it can keep the skin dry and comfortable. It is an ideal choice for making summer clothing and high-end home furnishings. Its colors are rich and varied, from simple and elegant solid colors to complex prints, which can be perfectly presented to meet the needs of different occasions and personal styles.
