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.

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!
The plain crepe satin was glossy on the front and dull on the back. It had a very natural luster to the eye. It felt soft and shiny compared to other silk, but if the washing method was not appropriate, the luster would darken after a few times. The heavy plain crepe satin had a soft luster. The luster of the sand-washed plain crepe satin was relatively low-key, with only a faint dull luster. The novel " Dream of Silk Fate " is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
The real silk heavy satin was a kind of heavy crepe real silk fabric with a high mm-count. It was a kind of thick real silk with multiple warp and woof threads combined and the woof thread was twisted. Its thickness was at least four times that of the common 02 crepe de chine. As for plain crepe satin, it was a conventional fabric among all silk fabrics. The bright satin surface was noble, smooth and elastic to the touch, and the texture was dense. Its woolen thread had a strong twist, so the shrinking rate was relatively large. After entering the water, the luster would decrease. It had a natural luster visually, and the touch was smooth and delicate without a rough feeling. 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.

Heavy silk referred to silk fabrics with high silk content. It was made of silk produced by various silkworms. It used twice the amount of ordinary silk and was worsted by a special process. It was fine and thick, soft and smooth to the touch, and had a good drooping feeling. It had the characteristics of ordinary silk fabrics, as well as the characteristics of not shrinking, being stiff, easy to take care of, and not easy to scratch. Xiangyun yarn is made of silkworm silk as raw material. The warp thread is woven into a white embryo yarn with a geometric small pattern with a hank weave. After being woven into a gauze weave fabric and a plain silk fabric, it is soaked in the juice of Guangdong's unique plant, yam, for many times and sun-coated on the cooked silk, so that the fabric is glued with a layer of yellow-brown gel substance. Then it is covered with the river silt rich in various minerals unique to the Pearl River Delta region. After repeated drying, washing and fermentation, it is an expensive yarn silk product. When the two were combined into a heavy silk cloud yarn fabric, it would have some of the characteristics of the two. For example, due to the characteristics of heavy silk, it might be more stiff and not easy to scratch than ordinary cloud yarn. The unique production process of the fragrant cloud yarn would also give it a unique appearance, such as cooling and breathability, easy to wash and dry, good sun protection and waterproof properties, good hand washing firmness, durability, deep color and dirt resistance, non-stick to the skin, thin and not easy to wrinkle, nourishing the skin, and other advantages. However, there might also be problems such as not being wear-resistant, easy to fall off the fiber when washing, easy to leave white sweat spots if not washed in time after absorbing sweat, easy to fade when washing, and so on. This fabric could be used to make a variety of clothing, such as autumn and winter jackets, windbreakers, women's suits, dresses, and so on. The novel " Dream of Silk Fate " is equally exciting.

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!
