Silk satin fabric (silk charmeuse fabric) is the“king”of silk fabric. It has a large reputation, a wide range of uses, and a long history of weaving. In any case, it is difficult to be replaced by other silk fabrics.

The silk satin fabric (silk charmeuse fabric) has a front and a back surface. The front surface is shiny and noble, while the back surface is a flattened crepe, but it is not rough. Because of the protein properties of silk, when folded, the fabric will rebound as a whole, with a little bones, but it is not obvious. It can only be realized by repeated rubbing. The whole piece of silk satin is absolutely enjoyable in the hands.

The yarn of silk satin fabric is only twisted in weft, and its twisting strength is far inferior to that of silk fabrics. Therefore, the shrinkage rate is relatively low, generally between 3% and 5%, and it is basically negligible. After the water, the fabric is still shiny, but it is in contact with the water. It is slightly darker, visually exquisite and luxurious, suitable for a customer group that pursues the quality of life; it is soft and smooth, and delicate in touch. Some people like to say that silk fabric satin feels soft and boneless, which I don’t agree with, compared with silk georgette and silk chiffon, silk fibroin and satin are considered to be bones. This is also the foundation of silk fibroin satin.

Because of its superiority in both tactile and visual aspects, silk satin as a traditional fabric has been accompanied by human beings today. Different thicknesses and different widths have been used by people for different purposes. Before using silk fabrics, you should choose the appropriate number of meters and width according to the use of the fabric, and calculate the amount of fabric to make a suitable layout, to avoid the situation of not enough, but also avoid buying more waste.

Chinese New Year 2018 ----By Lynn from Predatex Silk Co., Ltd

The coming Chinese New Year is 2018-02-16, which is 5 days away. This year's animal sign is the DOG!

Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, or simply the Lunar New Year, is an important Chinese festival celebrated at the turn of the traditional lunisolar Chinese calendar. Celebrations traditionally run from the evening preceding the first day, to the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first calendar month. The first day of the New Year falls on the new moon between 21 Jan and 20 Feb. In 2017, the first day of the Lunar New Year was on Saturday, 28 January, initiating the year of the Rooster. The upcoming year of the Dog commences on Friday, 16 February 2018.

Within China, regional customs and traditions concerning the celebration of the Lunar New Year vary widely. Often, the evening preceding Lunar New Year's Day is an occasion for Chinese families to gather for the annual reunion dinner. It is also traditional for every family to thoroughly clean the house, something which in Chinese culture is only done once per year. Many Chinese restaurants will also use the New Year to clean as well in order to sweep away any ill-fortune and to make way for incoming good luck. Windows and doors are decorated with red color paper-cuts and couplets with popular themes of "good fortune" or "happiness", "wealth", and "longevity". Other activities include lighting firecrackers and giving money in red paper envelopes. In about one third of the Mainland population, or 500 million Northerners, dumplings feature prominently in the meals celebrating the festival.

People will normally visit relatives and friends, do some shopping, watch traditional Chinese shows, launch fireworks, and plan for the coming year. The celebration will sometimes be highlighted with a religious ceremony given in honor of heaven, earth, the family ancestors and other gods. In modern China, working professionals will normally have 7 days of holiday including the weekend to celebrate. After the family reunion, some modern Chinese families may take the chance to visit tourist destinations.

Sandwash Silk, This Is A Style

sandwashed silk fabric silk crepe 23mm

Strictly speaking, sandwash should belong to a washing process. Sandwash refers to the fabric washed with alkaline water. Due to the use of alkaline water to wash the fabric, it causes alkali erosion of silk fabrics( more severe erosion of silk fibers), the fiber surface becomes uneven and rough. However, Sandwash represents an all brand new style after its being well received in the market.

After the sandwash, the surface of silk fabric looks like there being a layer of white hair, so that the fabric has an hairy feeling and vintage style. It is because of the severe erosion of the base that the previously stiffer fiber structure becomes softer and thus the overall piece of fabric becomes more supple as a whole.

Because different customers and sellers require different severity of sandwash effect, so if you would like to purchase our sandwash silk fabrics, it is generally required to send samples before production so we can know the severity of sand washing.

A person whose skin is susceptible to allergies should choose silk fabric

Silk fabrics have following characteristics:

comfortable sensation, good hygroscopicity, good dehumidification, sound absorption, dust absorption, uvioresistant.

Silk is composed of protein with soft and smooth handfeel. Coefficient of friction with skin is only 7.4%, which is much better than other fabrics.

When silk fabric touches people’s skin , there will be a soft, fine and smooth feeling.

No other fabrics can compare with the natural hygroscopicity and dehumidification of silk fabrics.

Because of the porosities of silk fabrics, it can absorb air. So silk fabrics can absorb moisture in the humid environment or distribute moisture in the dry environment. If we wear silk clothes, sweat and heat can distribute quickly so to make you feel cool.

Because of the porosities of silk fabrics, silk fabric has the characteristics of sound absorption and dust absorption.

There are unique health functions for silk fabrics. The silk fiber contains 18 amino acids which are almost like the amino acids of the skin, so the silk fabric is named “the second skin of people”. At the same time, the silk fabric can absorb ultraviolet radiation and promote the metabolism of skin cells. This natural function cannot be achieved by rayon or other fabrics at all. It also adds to the precious value of silk fabric.

Meaning of Momme in Silk Fabric------Lynn from Predatex Silk

When Some of our customers talk about silk fabrics, they can not clearly understand the thickness of silk fabrics. Generally “momme”represents the thickness of silk fabrics.

So what is the meaning of momme?

19mm=19m/m=19momme

1mm=4.3056gsm (grams per square meter)

19mm=19x4.3056=81.8gsm (grams per square meter)

In general, the larger momme, the larger weight, the more raw silk will be used, so the cost will be higher.

Some people can not distinguish silk fabrics when the thickness is similar, for example: 19mm silk fabric and 16mm silk fabric.

 In fact, a computational formula can figure out the weight of silk fabric.

Computational formula:

Momme  of silk fabric * Width of silk fabric * Meter of silk fabric * 4.3056 = Weight of silk fabric

For example, Silk Satin Charmeuse 19mm width: 140cm 1meter

19x1.40x1x4.3056=114.5g

So weighting the silk fabric (silk satin charmeuse), the weiht is about 114.3g to 114.5g.

Above is the way that judges the momme of silk fabric.

How to identify real silk fabric and fake----Lynn from Predatex Silk

On the identification of silk fabrics there are many ways, in fact, the most simple and practical way is to use a lighter to burn it.

Silk fabrics are generally divided into warp and weft. 
First, pull out a warp yarn on a fire, real silk will emit a smell. The smell is same as burning a hair. The yarn can not keep burning and there is no visible flame. When burned, the fiber shrinks into a dark gray ball, which is then turned into a powder by rubbing it with your fingers. 
Then, pull out a weft yarn on a fire, if the weft is the same as warp, then this piece of fabric is very likely to be 100% silk.

The way of identifying silk fabric is not accurate. Because of the development of technology, there are a lot of silk cotton interwoven fabric or silk polyester interwoven fabric in the market.

First, let us talk about the way of identifying silk polyester interwoven fabric.

1, Burning test.

There are following situation after burning silk polyester interwoven fabric.

As long as the fabric contains silk,it will emit the smell of burning silk. But if the fabric contains polyester,it will also emit smell of burning plastic in the same time.The yarn can keep burning with black smoke and visible flame. After burning,the fiber shrinks into a hard spherical solid.

2，Chemical test.

Pour some disinfectants into a glass. Then put a small piece of fabric (1.5cm*1.5cm) in the glass.Shake for a while to let the fabric and the disinfectant touching each other.After a while, if all fabric is dissolved, then this piece of fabric is very likely to be 100% silk.If part of the fabric is not dissolved, then this piece of fabric is not 100% silk.

Then, let us talk about the way of identifying silk cotton interwoven fabric.

1, Burning test.

There are following situation after burning silk cotton interwoven fabric.

As long as the fabric contains silk,it will emit the smell of burning silk. But if the fabric contains cotton,it will also emit smell of burning paper in the same time.The yarn can keep burning with visible flame. After burning,the fiber become dark gray ash. So in such case, we can not tell whether it is 100% silk fabric.

2，Chemical test.

Pour some disinfectants into a glass. Then put a small piece of fabric (1.5cm*1.5cm) in the glass.Shake for a while to let the fabric and the disinfectant touching each other.After a while, if all fabric is dissolved, then this piece of fabric is very likely to be 100% silk.If part of the fabric is not dissolved, then this piece of fabric is not 100% silk.
