Velvet

raw material

The velvet raw material is 22 to 30 茧 grade A raw silk, and the silk is used as the warp, and the cotton yarn is the weft interlaced "ground". Use a silk or rayon to make a loop. Both warp and weft are first degummed or semi-degummed, dyed, and weaved after twisting.

process

The weaving process is roughly divided into three parts: velvet, jacquard and cut pile.

Use a pile looms. The loom is also divided into three parts: a delivery car, a jacquard car and a velvet car. Weaving at least two people, one person woven, one person to board a jacquard about 2 meters high jacquard, weaving 1 meter. The production process is very complicated and meticulous: firstly, a set of round steel wires or flat metal rods with grooves are used as the pile rods, and then the piles and the ground are arranged in a 2:1 ratio, and the weft ratio of the ground weft to the pile is 4:1 or 3:1, that is, a velvet rod is put in after each weaving of 4 or 3 latitudes. When each of the piles is inlaid, all the piles or single and double piles are lifted to form a loop. Each woven fabric is about 10 meters long, and then it is taken off from the loom and placed on the platen to extract the pile rod, and the pile is formed into a loop-like loop. Flower velvet is to remove the woven whole fabric from the loom and put it on the platen. First, print the pattern on the surface of the fabric with white powder, and then use the hard steel knife to the loop of the pattern. The scraping place (called the carving) forms a thick and dense pile pattern, and then the pile is pulled out, and the unscratched portion remains in a loop shape, forming a uniform tight loop texture. The fluff and the loops are set off against each other to form a flower velvet with distinct flowers.

Today, velvet has become more popular and used more and more widely. Some furniture items are also velvet fabrics, such as pillows, mattresses, sheets, etc., but the price will be more expensive.
