Bedecor's home textile knowledge: five tips on woven fabrics ~



Woven fabrics are made by interlacing yarns in the warp and weft direction on a weaving machine in the form of a head shuttle, and are generally organised in three main categories - plain, twill and satin - and their variations.

 

Georgette

The composition can be divided into mulberry silk and polyester imitation silk. The warp and weft yarns are made with two different twist directions of S and Z twist. The warp and weft yarns are arranged according to 2S and 2Z (two left and two right) and interwoven in plain weave, the warp and weft of the fabric is very small. The fabric style is mostly warp and weft sparse and rough and wrinkled.


Georgette is light, transparent, soft to the touch, elastic, breathable and drapey, and has a great elasticity of stretch, making it comfortable to wear. The lightness, weight, thickness, thinness, transparency and crepe effect of georgette yarns depend mainly on the thickness of the threads, the number of merges, the twist and the density of the warp and weft.


Chiffon

The difference between chiffon and chiffon is that chiffon is smooth and wrinkle-free, and rarely wrinkles; however, chiffon is generally wrinkled.

"Chiffon" is a textile process, is a strong twist crepe warp, crepe weft fabric a process, classification there are real silk chiffon and simulation silk chiffon.

1.Silk Chiffon
