How to identify silk fabric?

How to identify silk fabric?

The characteristics of silk are: thin and cool, moisture-absorbing and breathable, moisturizing and heat dissipating, has a certain elasticity, full feel, plump and waxy, and smooth drape.

Here are some simple ways to identify the quality of silk.

flood

Squeeze the fabric with your hands and release. Silk has good elasticity and no creases, while rayon has obvious creases and is difficult to recover quickly.

touch

Silk has the feeling of being held in the hand, but chemical fiber does not have such a feeling. Although rayon fabric will feel smooth and soft, it is not clean and firm.

Take out the yarn

Take out a few yarns, wet them with some water, and then break them. For example, the ones that are broken when wet are rayon fabrics, and those that are broken are velvet-like silk products of different lengths.

wipe

Friction between two layers of fabric can produce a silky or whirling sound that other raw fabrics do not.

combustion

Pull out part of the yarn and burn it. No open flame can be seen in the silk. It has the smell of burning hair and turns into black particles that can be crushed by hand. It imitates silk flames and has a plastic smell. After the fire, a hard piece of rubber is left.
