Made of silk fabric clothing is not only beautiful, but also has a high degree of breathability, people wear a very obvious sense of comfort. Although silk fabric is artificially made fabric, its main component is really natural fiber, to polyester, spandex, tapestries, nylon and other synthetic fibers are much more delicate, not only easy to stain dirty, high temperature will also quickly change form, so the production process has very high requirements.
Characteristics of silk fabrics
