Heavyweight silk was a fashion fabric made of ordinary silk fabric with twice the amount of silk used and a special process. It had the characteristics of ordinary silk fabric, but it did not shrink, was stiff, and was easy to arrange. Its quality was higher than ordinary silk fabric, and it was extremely difficult to hang. Silk was commonly used to express weight in meters (m/m). Generally, more than 16 meters could be called heavy silk. Heavy crepe was a type of real silk. Anything more than 30 m could be called heavy crepe (also a type of heavy real silk). It was also a real silk fabric made of natural fibers. In general, heavy crepe could be regarded as a type of heavy silk when the mm-meter count reached a certain level. The concept of heavy silk was broader, emphasizing a series of characteristics brought about by the amount of silk used and special technology. Heavy crepe was more focused on a specific mm-meter count of silk fabric. The novel "Dream of Silk Fate" is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
Heavy crepe was a kind of thick silk with multiple warp and woof threads combined and the woof thread twisted. Its style was similar to crepe de chine, but it was much thicker than crepe de chine. Its thickness was at least four times that of the common 02 crepe de chine. It was thicker and suitable for making summer clothes with a certain shape. It had good drapability. There were fine and even wrinkles on the surface. The texture was soft and smooth, the color was bright and beautiful, and it was elastic. It was comfortable to wear, cool, and had good breathability. The silk body was heavier than Georgette. Chongqiao had inherited George's good drapability. It was suitable for making beach dresses and scarves. The novel " Dream of Silk Fate " is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!

There were many differences between silk satin and heavy silk: 1. ** Appearance and texture ** - Real silk satin: It refers to the bright and smooth varieties of real silk, such as plain crepe satin, George satin, elastic satin, etc., which belong to the satin category of real silk. It is an eight-piece satin woven with mulberry silk. Its texture is generally light and thin, the silk body is soft, flat and smooth, after printing, the luster is bright, and the color is excellent. - Heavy silk: Elegant appearance, the weight of the fabric is more than 40g/m2, the appearance looks fine and thick, the hand feels soft and smooth, has a very good drooping feeling, its luster is soft, and it is not easy to get hurt. 2. ** In terms of characteristics ** - Silk satin: light and thin, with the softness and smoothness of real silk fabric, mainly reflecting the smooth and beautiful cloth surface. - [Heavy silk: It has the characteristics of not shrinking, being stiff, and easy to finish. Compared to silk satin, it is more prominent in terms of weight and stiffness. It is not easy to scratch and has better durability.] 3. ** Potential ingredients ** - Silk satin: both warp and warp are woven with mulberry silk. - Heavy silk: Although natural fibers (silk produced by various silkworms) are used as raw materials, they are not necessarily 100% mulberry silk. Some may be real silk cotton, genuine leather wool, etc. The novel "Dream of Silk Fate" is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
There were many differences between silk satin and heavy crepe. Judging from the thickness, the heavy crepe was a silk fabric with a high mm-count. It was a kind of thick and heavy real silk with multiple warps and wefts combined and the wefts twisted. The style was similar to the crepe de chine, but it was much thicker than the crepe de chine. It was at least four times thicker than the common crepe de chine. It belonged to the thicker type. There was no clear comparison between silk satin and heavy crepe in the information. From a technological point of view, silk fabrics were divided into different types according to the process. Heavy crepe had its specific warp and warp combination and the twisting of the woof. Heavy satin did not explicitly mention that there was a similar process with heavy crepe. In terms of usage, heavy crepe was suitable for making summer close-fitting clothes with a certain shape and good drapability. Although there was no explicit mention of similar uses for silk heavy satin, it was mentioned that it could be used to make cheongsam dresses and other clothing. There were differences between the two in terms of fabric performance and application, but the available information did not fully demonstrate all the differences between the two. There might be other differences such as price and texture. The novel "Dream of Silk Fate" is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
Silk satin was a type of fabric, usually made of various fibers. It had a smooth, shiny appearance and a soft feel. It was often used to make high-end clothing, bedding, and so on. Mulberry silk was a type of natural fiber. It was a type of silk produced by silkworms. The mulberry silk fiber was slender, white, and had good elasticity, toughness, and warmth. It felt soft and silky, and had a strong luster. The main difference between the two was that silk satin was a finished fabric, while mulberry silk was the raw material for making fabrics. Silk satin could be made from a variety of fibers, including but not limited to mulberry silk, and mulberry silk could be used to make a variety of fabrics, including silk satin fabrics.

The main differences between artificial silk and natural silk were as follows: ** 1. Strength and mechanical properties ** 1. ** Stretching Strength ** - Artificial silk had a higher tensile strength than natural silk. For example, the tensile strength of artificial silk fiber reached 2.0 GPa, while the tensile strength of natural silk (such as de-glued natural silk) was about 610 + 84 Pa. The tensile strength of artificial silk was about two times higher than that of natural silk. 2. ** Young's Modality ** - Artificial silk had a higher average Young's elasticity of 43GPa, which was much higher than all known natural microfibers (<20GPa), indicating that artificial silk had better resistance to elastic distortion than natural silk. ** 2. Production process ** 1. ** Material processing ** - Natural silk was a continuous long fiber formed by the silk liquid secreted by mature silkworms when they spun cocoons. It was a natural animal fiber. - Artificial silk was obtained by special treatment of ordinary silk. For example, inspired by the artificial spinning of spider egg silk, the sticky outer layer of ordinary silk was removed by a special chemical bath (such as the use of sulfuric acid and sulfuric acid to help dissolve the outer layer of silk), and it was prepared by combining metal ions to assist in strengthening. 2. ** Stabilizing treatment ** - In the process of making artificial silk, because the main component of silk was protein, in order to prevent its degeneration, a mild environment was needed. At a relatively low temperature, chemicals such as papain, Na2CO3, and Na2S2O4 were used to dissolve the outer sticky layer of the silk, ensuring a high rate of silk de-sizing while maintaining a relatively stable protein, thus laying the foundation for good mechanical properties of the artificial silk. Then, metal ions were used to assist in the enhancement of artificial spinning in the microtube. The production of natural silk mainly relied on the natural physiological process of silkworms and did not require these special chemical treatments to ensure stability. ** 3. Quality and production ** 1. ** Quality stability ** - Due to different silkworm eggs, different feeding methods, and other factors, the quality of natural silk was not stable, and there were differences in quality. If artificial silk could be mass-produced, the production process would be relatively controllable and the quality stability might be higher. 2. ** Production ** - The production of natural silk depended on the cultivation of silkworms. Silkworm cultivation was laborious and time-consuming. In modern times, its quality and output were increasingly unable to meet the demand. If artificial silk achieved a breakthrough in mass production technology, it was expected to increase production to meet more demand. ** 4. In terms of application prospects ** 1. ** Potential in traditional application fields ** - In the traditional silk textile field, natural silk had always been the main raw material, such as making silk quilts and silk skirts. Due to its outstanding strength and stretching properties, artificial silk could replace natural silk in these traditional fields in the future or be used to make silk products with higher quality requirements. 2. ** New applications ** - Natural silk could be used to make sutures and surgical mesh materials in the field of biomedicine. Due to its higher strength and other properties, artificial silk was expected to be used to produce lighter armor and bulletproof vests in the future. This was an application field that natural silk was difficult to satisfy. The novel "Dream of Silk Fate" is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
Traditional silk quilts were usually more delicate and generally could not be washed. After washing, it was easy to be rough and hardened, losing its original fluffy feeling and warmth. There were many types of washed silk quilts, and the differences were as follows: 1. ** Materials and Craftsmanship ** - ** Silk quilt made of short silk cotton **: The short silk cotton itself has short fibers and a fluffy feeling. After quilting, it can be washed. - ** Specially made washable mulberry silk and tussah silk quilts: After being washed, they are relatively thin and quilted. They are mainly summer quilts. The thin quilt could ensure that it would not be too sticky after washing, and the quilting process could separate the silk. - ** Silk quilt mixed with chemical fiber **: Since the chemical fiber can be washed and has a good fluffy feeling, it can be washed as long as the silk content is not much. - ** Using high-quality silk quilts (such as Wanshili brand)**: For example, the Wanshili washable silk quilt is filled with 100% mulberry silk (long silk cotton). It uses high-quality silk mesh to prevent the silk from running. After washing it many times, it will be flat and not easy to be deformed. Ordinary washable silk quilts use non-woven fabrics, which are easy to be damaged and deformed after washing it many times. 2. ** In terms of applicable scenarios ** - Traditional silk quilts were suitable for daily use, but they needed to be kept clean. It was more troublesome to clean them after they were dirty. - Water-washed silk quilts, especially those thin summer quilts, were more advantageous in summer when it was easy to dirty the quilt and needed to be washed frequently. 3. ** Quality and Function ** - Traditional silk quilts had the characteristics of breathability, softness, and comfort. - In addition to the breathability and softness of the silk quilt itself, some of the washed silk quilts, such as the Wanshili washed silk summer quilt, also went through a variety of tests, such as comprehensive quality inspection of the product, silk grade compliance, negative oxygen ion detection of the fabric, inhibition effect detection, fabric pilling performance detection, washing size change rate detection, tire cover fabric containing acid detection and touch cool feeling detection, etc., with additional functions such as nourishing the skin.

The difference between mulberry silk quilts and silk quilts was mainly reflected in the following aspects: 1. ** Source of silk **: The silk of the mulberry silk quilt comes from silkworms, which are mostly domesticated and generally produced in southern areas such as Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The source of silk for the silk quilt is relatively more extensive, including the silk produced by wild silkworms. 2. ** In terms of quality, the quality of mulberry silk quilts was relatively good. The length of mulberry silk fibers could reach more than 1000 meters, while the length of silk quilts made of tussah silk generally did not exceed 80 centimeters. In terms of fiber length, mulberry silk quilts had an advantage. 3. ** Color and luster **: Mulberry silk presents a natural white color, and there is no need for chemical rinsing when making mulberry silk quilts. When making silk quilts with wild silk, it is often necessary to add "fluorescent brightening agent" and other methods to fade and chemical rinsing, so that its color and feel are closer to mulberry silk quilts. 4. ** Price **: Due to the short life cycle of silkworms, mulberry silk is relatively more precious and the price is higher. Wild silkworms can be artificially raised, so the production cost of silk quilts is relatively low and the price is relatively low. 5. "Usage inclination": Mulberry silk is fine and soft, and the fabric is as thin as silkworm wings and as light as yarn. It is more suitable for light and thin clothing. Tussah silk is thick, fluffy, stiff, and has many pores in the internal structure of the fiber. It is produced in the northern cold zone. It has good warmth and elasticity. It is the preferred raw material for making home textile products such as silk quilts and silk blankets. 6. ** Appearance color **: The silkworm cocoon is white, and the mulberry silk is quite white. The tussah cocoon is slightly yellow, and the tussah silk will turn yellow no matter how it is processed. 7. ** Reflected on the quilt label: If the quilt composition table wrote "Fillers: 100% silk", the quilt was mostly made of oak silk instead of mulberry silk.

There were many differences between a silk quilt that cost a few hundred yuan and a silk quilt that cost a few thousand yuan. First of all, in terms of raw materials, silk quilts that cost thousands of yuan were basically filled with silkworms. Silkworms were silkworms that fed on mulberry leaves. They were artificially fed and the cost was high. The color of mulberry silk was pearl white, thin and long. It was usually made by hand, and the quilt made of it was soft and silky. A silk quilt that cost a few hundred yuan might be made of tussah silk or other mixed materials. Tussah grew wild in the northern oak forest and fed on oak leaves. Tussah silk was short and thick, so it needed to be made by machine. The silk body contained more sericine, which made it feel rough, not smooth enough, dark luster, and strong stiffness. The quilt made of it was not very close to the body, and it was easy to harden, causing the size of the quilt to shorten and distort. Secondly, in terms of silk grade, high-quality mulberry silk quilts may use high-grade cocoons such as diplosis cocoons. The diplosis cocoons are tightly intertwined with the silk, with a large amount of silk, good fluffiness, and a silk length of more than 1500m. The silk grade of low-cost silk quilts may be lower. Moreover, the production process was different. Long silk cotton and medium silk cotton had long fiber length, good thermal performance, long durability, and high price for hand-made silk quilts. Short silk cotton was machine-made, short fiber length, poor cohesion between fibers, and easy to lump or harden after use. This was often the case for silk quilts that cost a few hundred yuan. Finally, in terms of the weight of the filling, the autumn and winter thickness of the silk quilt would be more expensive due to the large amount of silk filling. According to the market, the cost of mulberry silk was about 300 yuan/catty. If a quilt was filled with 100% mulberry silk, the price of 3 catties of quilt should be between 800 - 1000 yuan. A quilt with a low price was likely not real mulberry silk. This also reflected the difference in raw material quantity and cost between a few hundred yuan and a few thousand yuan.
