Silk is a continuous long fiber solidified by silk fluid when mature silkworms form cocoons, also known as "natural silk". Like wool, it is one of the earliest animal fibers used by humans. According to different types of silkworm, it is divided into silkworm, tussah, cassava silkworm, camphor silkworm, willow silkworm and so on. The silk thread drawn from a single silkworm cocoon is called cocoon silk, which is made of two single fibers bonded and coated with silk glue. Several silkworm cocoons are drawn out of cocoon silk and the silk thread is wrapped with silk glue. There are mulberry silk (also called raw silk) and tussah silk, which are collectively called silk. (The difference between the two: the mulberry silk is thin and long, slightly yellowish in the white, delicate and smooth in hand and has a faint smell of animal fiber. The fabric made with this silk is particularly soft and close to the silk. Tussah silk is shorter and thicker than mulberry silk. Its original color is gray-black. It often needs to be faded with acidic chemicals. There are many "seric" contained in tussah silk, so the touch feel is rough, the luster is also dull, the rigidity of the tussah silk is also very strong and the fabric made is relatively straight.

Classification of silk fabrics:
Common types of silk fabrics are roughly divided into these categories: double crepe, heavy crepe, georgie, double qiao, heavy qiao, sangbo satin, plain crepe satin, elastane crepe satin, warp knitting and so on. Each has its characteristic, because their processing technology is different from each other and their price will also vary greatly.
In general, double-crepe fabrics are shaped at high temperature, the fabric structure is stable, the wrinkle resistance is better, the saturation of printing and dyeing is higher and the color is bright; The advantage of crepe is that the fabric has better sag and the wrinkle resistance will be stronger; Advantage of Qiao Qi is that it is elegant and light; Sangbo satin is a conventional fabric in silk fabrics. The satin texture is clear and antique; The plain satin satin is bright and noble, the feel is smooth, the shrinkage of the fabric is relatively large, and the gloss decreases after dipping in water; Elastin crepe satin is a new fabric. In addition to mulberry silk, 5% to 10% spandex is added to the composition. It is an interwoven fabric. It is characterized by good elasticity and relatively low shrinkage. Warp-knitted fabric has a soft feel and belongs to new special knitted fabrics with high technological content and high-end products. And the price will of course be much higher.
