Slubbed
A slub in textiles production refers to thickened areas of a fiber or yarn. Slubbed or slubby fabric is woven from slubby yarn (yarn with a very variable diameter). Both high and low slubbiness may be sought. Slubs in spun fibers may be produced deliberately by varying spinning tension (see Novelty yarns#Slub). They are also produced when short, staple fibers are spun into a single yarn. Slubs may be valued or deliberately produced for aesthetic effect, but they may also be regarded as a defect caused by either uneven spinning or using low-grade, lumpy or short-staple fiber. Types Slubby cotton fabric includes: *Madras (cloth), woven from short-staple cotton *Some denim used for jeans; the slubs cause the cloth to fade unevenly, in a pattern called Linen is often slubbed. Wool fabrics, such as tweeds, may also be slubbed. Silk is a filament fiber, and the only natural fiber type to come in filament length naturally (strands can be over 1.5 km long). However, some silk fib ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dupioni
Dupioni (also referred to as douppioni, doupioni or dupion) is a plain weave silk fabric, produced using fine yarn in the warp and uneven yarn reeled from two or more entangled cocoons in the weft. This creates tightly woven yardage with a highly-lustrous surface and a crisp hand. It is similar to shantung, but slightly thicker, heavier, and with a greater slub (cross-sectional irregularity) count. In Japan a cocoon containing more than one silkworm is called . Dupioni is often woven with differing colors of threads scattered through the warp and weft. This technique gives the fabric an iridescent effect, similar to but not as pronounced as shot silk taffeta. Dupioni can be woven into plaid and striped patterns; floral or other intrinsic, intricate designs are better suited for lighter-weight silks and/or those with smoother finishes, although dupioni may be embroidered in any manner desired. Along with shantung, dupioni is popular in bridal and other formal wear. It is suita ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Silk Noil
Noil refers to the short fibers that are removed during the combing process in spinning. These fibers are often then used for other purposes. Fibers are chosen for their length and evenness in specific spinning techniques, such as worsted. The short noil fibers are left over from combing of wool or spinning silk. Noil may be treated as a shorter-staple fiber and spun, hand-plied, or used as wadding. Noil may also be used as a decorative additive in spinning projects like rovings and yarns.Indiana Alpaca Fiber Encyclopedia. Collected 20 Jul 2010 Volume XXV, 1911 Edition, pp 107. Google Books.

Antique Satin
An antique () is an item perceived as having value because of its aesthetic or historical significance, and often defined as at least 100 years old (or some other limit), although the term is often used loosely to describe any object that is old. An antique is usually an item that is collected or desirable because of its age, beauty, rarity, condition, utility, personal emotional connection and/or other unique features. It is an object that represents a previous era or time period in human history. Vintage and collectible are used to describe items that are old, but do not meet the 100-year criterion. Antiques are usually objects of the decorative arts that show some degree of craftsmanship, collectability, or an attention to design, such as a desk or an vintage car, early automobile. They are bought at antique shops, estate sales, auction houses, online auctions and other venues, or estate inherited. Antiques dealers often belong to national trade associations, many of wh ...

Bourette
Bourette is a silk fabric with bumps often blended with other yarns made of Bourette fibers. The name " Bourette" is from its constituting fiber. It has a rough surface incorporating multicolored threads and knots of spun silk. The fabric is made with silk bourette and wool or cotton yarn. Bourette is a lightweight single cloth with a rough, knotty, and uneven surface. Silk waste Silk waste has many copious names whereas Floss is a general name for silk waste. Other names are 'Schappe' or 'echappe.' "Schapping" is a step of silk production of fermentation at low temperature for softening the gum. Schappe is one of the made products from Silk waste/Floss. Bourette and Florette Silk waste consists of two types, Bourette and Florette. The bourette fibers are short in length compared to the 'Florette', which are long silk fibers, suitable for products such as combed or worsted materials.

Eri Silk
Eri silk is a type of peace silk produced by the domesticated silkworm ''Samia ricini''. It is primarily produced in the Northeast India, northeastern Indian states of Assam, Nagaland and Eri silk in Meghalaya, Meghalaya, but it is also found in Bihar, Odisha, West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh on a smaller scale. It was imported to Thailand in 1974. ''Eri'' is derived from the Assamese language, Assamese word "era," which refers to Ricinus, castor, a plant on which the Eri silkworms feed. The silk is produced by worms that consume the leaves of the castor oil plant (''Ricinus communis''). Generally, silk cocoons are boiled with the worm inside to preserve the continuity of the fibers. Whereas Eri silk cocoons are open at one end, allowing the moth to leave before the cocoon is processed. This unique characteristic of Eri silk means it can be harvested without killing the silkworm, making it a more ethical alternative to other types of silk. Thus, the woolly white silk is often refer ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tussah
Tussar silk (alternatively spelled as tussah, tushar, tassar, tussore, tasar, tussur, or tusser, and also known as (Sanskrit) ''kosa'' silk) is produced from larvae of several species of silkworms belonging to the moth genus '' Antheraea'', including '' A. assamensis'', '' A. paphia'', '' A. pernyi'', '' A. roylei'', and '' A. yamamai''. These silkworms live in the wild forests in trees belonging to ''Terminalia'' species and ''Shorea robusta'', as well as other food plants such as jamun and oak found in South Asia, eating the leaves of the trees on which they live. Tussar silk is valued for its rich texture and natural, deep-gold colour, and varieties are produced in many countries, including China,Su Jing, Lun Luo, ''Landlord and Labor in Late Imperial China: Case Studies from Shandong'', Harvard University Asia Center, 1978 India, Japan, and Sri Lanka. Process To kill the silkworms, the cocoons are dried in the sun. A variation of the process exists in which the silkworms ar ...

Thai Silk
Thai silk (, , ) is produced from the cocoons of Thai silkworms. Thailand's silkworm farmers cultivate both types of the domesticated silkworms that produce commercial silk: '' Samia ricini'', commonly known as the eri silkworm, which produces matte eri silk, and the '' Bombyx mori'', producer of the better known, glossy mulberry silk. The latter is by far the larger silk producer of the two. In Thailand, the Center for Excellence in Silk at Kasetsart University's Kamphaeng Saen campus plays a leading research role in sericulture research as well as providing silkworm eggs and know-how to Thai farmers. History After silk originated in ancient China and India, where the practice of weaving silk began around 2,640 BCE, Chinese merchants spread the use of silk throughout Asia through trade. Archaeologists found the first fibers of silk in Thailand to be over 3,000 years old, in the ruins of Ban Chiang. The site is considered to be one of Southeast Asia's oldest civiliza ...

Meisen
is a type of silk fabric traditionally produced in Japan; it is durable, hard-faced, and somewhat stiff, with a slight sheen, and slubbiness is deliberately emphasised. was first produced in the late 19th century, and became widely popular during the 1920s and 30s (late-Taishō period, Taishō to early-Shōwa period), when it was mass-produced and ready-to-wear kimono began to be sold in Japan. is commonly dyed using (Japanese ikat) techniques, and features what were then overtly modern, non-traditional designs and colours. remained popular through to the 1950s. The fibre used for is Staple (textiles), staple fibre (often silk noil), degummed and sizing, sized with soy milk, which increases durability and increases the depth and brilliance of the dye colours. Between 1910 and 1925 (late Taishō to Shōwa period), the ability to spin as well as weave noil by machine (see ) was developed into mass production. Prices dropped drastically, and silk cloth and clothing was sudd ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tsumugi
is a traditional slub (textiles), slub-woven silk fabric from Japan. It is a tabby weave material woven from yarn produced using silk noil, short-staple (textiles), staple silk fibre (as opposed to material produced using longer, filament yarn silk fibres). The short silk fibres are degummed and, traditionally, the yarns are hand-joined to form a continuous length before weaving, a technique also used for cheaper bast fibres. Yarns are joined by twisting the ends to be joined in the same direction, then twisting both ends, bundled together, in the other direction, to make a plying, two-ply yarn at the overlap. It might alternately be loosely handspun, with twist per inch, few twists per unit length. Because of this structure, is rough-surfaced, soft and drapey, softening further with age. Between 1910 and 1925 (late Taishō to Shōwa (1926–1989), Shōwa era), it became common to spin as well as weave silk noil by machine (see for the technological developments that made thi ...

Shantung (fabric)
Shantung is a type of silk plain weave fabric historically from the Chinese province of Shandong. It is similar to dupioni, but is slightly thinner and less irregular. Shantung is often used for bridal gowns. Structure Shantung is a fabric with a ribbed surface that is produced by long weft yarns. The surface may vary coarse to fine according to the used yarn type. The thicker yarns were used in the weft. Yarns in shantung may have knots, and bumps ( slub effects), etc. Types Originally it was made of silk only, but later locals used rayon and cotton Cotton (), first recorded in ancient India, is a soft, fluffy staple fiber that grows in a boll, or protective case, around the seeds of the cotton plants of the genus '' Gossypium'' in the mallow family Malvaceae.

Pongee
Pongee is a type of slub-woven fabric, created by weaving with yarns that have been spun by varying the tightness of the yarn's twist at various intervals. Pongee is typically made from silk, and results in a textured, "slubbed" appearance; pongee silks range from appearing similar to satin to appearing matte and unreflective. Though pongee is typically made out of silk, it can be woven from a variety of fabrics, such as cotton, linen and wool. In the early 20th century, pongee was an important export from China to the United States. Pongee is still woven in silk by many mills across China, especially along the banks of the Yangtze River at mills in Sichuan, Anhui, Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces. Pongee varies in weight from ; lighter variants are known as Paj. Pongee types Pongee is created through weaving yarns that have been twisted unevenly at various points; the resulting fabric typically has horizontal "slubs" running along the weft In the manufacture of cloth, ...
