What are the differences between Xiangyun yarn and mulberry silk? I will introduce them to you below. Let’s take a look at the characteristics and differences between Xiangyun yarn and mulberry silk.
Characteristics of mulberry silk fabric:
Mulberry silk is a kind of silk. Mulberry silk fabric feels soft and smooth and has good drape. , this is also the reason why mulberry silk fabrics are used to make dresses. Warmth retention is also a major feature of this fabric. Mulberry silk fabrics can be used to produce warm fabrics, such as silk quilts, silk clothes, etc. Because the quality of silk is better, the price of this type of fabric will be relatively high. Many manufacturers will blend mulberry silk with other fabrics, which not only saves costs, but also diversifies the characteristics of the fabric.
Characteristics of Xiangyun yarn fabric:
Xiangyun yarn, known as the “soft gold” in the textile industry, is a specialty of Foshan. Its special feature lies in its complex dyeing and finishing process. The raw material of Xiangyun gauze is mulberry silk. The base fabric is dyed with the plant dye “Acanthus silk”, and then the fabric is wrapped with river mud to undergo a chemical reaction. Finally, the front side of the fabric appears black and the back side appears yellowish brown. The entire production and processing process of Xiangyun yarn takes a long time, so the price of Xiangyun yarn is also very expensive, and there are many fake and inferior products on the market. Therefore, when buying Xiangyun yarn products, you must learn to distinguish the authenticity. Because its raw material is mulberry silk, the characteristics of Xiangyun yarn are basically similar to those of mulberry silk.
How to wash mulberry silk:
It is not recommended to machine wash mulberry silk fabrics because the strength of the washing machine is not easy to control. When choosing laundry detergent, it is recommended to choose neutral detergent or silk fabrics. Special washing liquid, before washing, you can soak the clothes in clean water for 5 minutes, then add the washing liquid and rub it gently with your hands. Do not use a brush to scrub.
