Do You Know What Fabric Your Silk Scarf Is Made Of?

When it comes to silk scarves, many people have the impression that they are smooth and light. In fact, this is just the characteristic of some silk fabrics.

If you judge whether it is a silk scarf by gloss, it would be a bit one-sided. Vietmei will introduce some common silk fabrics from today to help you distinguish them.

Pure silk crepe satin, plain crepe satin has the best gloss among real silk fabrics, and it is the standard silk that many people think of. It looks natural luster, feels smooth to the touch, slender, elastic, and has low shrinkage. It is especially suitable for making products that touch human skin.

The silk twill silk has obvious diagonal lines. The finished product feels soft and comfortable, but the softness is not as good as plain crepe satin. But the twill silk is skinny.

The silk georgette is clear and thin, with a strong grainy surface, astringent to the touch, elastic, easy to shrink, and very soft. The scarf made is light and sunscreen.

Silk chiffon is elegant and soft.

Silk foreign fabrics are between chiffon and satin, with the sheen of chiffon and satin.

Smooth crepe, synthetic synthetic silk fabric, with vertical texture, the finished product is naturally stretched, soft, breathable, easy to clean, and more comfortable.

Everyone should also pay attention: many other materials can actually impersonate the texture of real silk.

The most direct and effective identification method is to take a small part of the product and ignite it with fire, because real silk is a protein fiber, and it smells of charred hair during the burning process, and only fragile fluffy black particles are left after burning.

In addition, a unit for calculating silk fabrics is popularized, called mum, 1 mum=4.3056 g/m2. Generally, the finished products have different millimetres. Commonly used are 8 millimetres, 10 millimetres, 12 millimetres, 14 millimetres, and 16 millimetres. Generally speaking, the larger the millimetre, the heavier the fabric. Of course, for silk scarves, the maximum number of millimetres is 19, and no matter how high it is, it is not suitable.
