Crystal silk and velvet are two common fabrics, which are mostly used to make stockings. The crystal silk is composed of 84% nylon and 16% spandex. The crystal silk is smoother and has strong wrinkle resistance. The crystal silk has a finer texture, a clear silky feel, and is more comfortable and soft.
In addition to making silk stockings, crystal silk is also used to make clothes such as home clothes and pajamas that are usually worn. In addition, it is sometimes used to make clothes such as fashionable women's clothing and high-end dresses. Crystal silk is very popular among consumers because of its good drape and easy drying. Velvet is also called "Zhangrong" because velvet originated from Zhangzhou, Fujian.
The raw material of velvet is mulberry silk. According to the pattern of clothing made of velvet, it can be divided into two types, one is velvet satin, also called Zhang satin; the other is velvet satin, which is well-known velvet. Velvet can be divided into two types: floral and plain. Plain velvet is covered with loops on the surface. Flower velvet is cut into standard by pattern, which is cut into fluff. The pattern is made up of fluff and loops arranged alternately.
The production of crystal silk is to make up for the lack of nylon silk and make the color of stockings more lively and gorgeous, but the shortcomings of its poor elasticity have not been completely solved, and the hand feel is still not good. Compared with crystal silk, velvet has better elasticity and feels smoother and more comfortable to the touch. In addition, velvet also keeps warm when put in. Ultra-thin velvet feels better, with fine and dense texture, smooth, full color, and more breathable. Therefore, crystal silk is not as smooth as velvet!
