silks

There are three principal styles of silks manufactured in Japan: (1) The "double-warp gros-grain"; (2) the "Damasse Japanese "; and (3) " Plain Japan silks." The first are 22-in. wide, dyed in all colours, soft handle. The second style is 19-in. wide, has small floral effects all over the cloth and is dyed in all colours. The plain silks are 20-in. wide, and the handle is harder than the first (see " Heather Silk ")

The term "silk" was at first applied to fabrics made of "artificial silk" but these yarns are synthetically produced and arc not silks at all. As the term "Rayon" is now being used to distinguish these manufactured yarns, a fairly complete list of the better known is given under "Rayon".

Silk yarns that are strong and hard twisted. Usually made by twisting together 1, 2 or 3 grege threads to the left then doubling two or three together with a right-hand twist. There are three classes of sewing silks, viz., those for plain sewing as above, those for knitting and the third for embroidery. There are also various names as follows: - Light dyes, coloured sewing silk, in skeins or reels. Machine silks, from 30 to 200 yards on reels. Floss silk, for darning, in hank form. Soie Platte, another name for floss silk. Filoselle, carded and spun silk waste used for all purposes. Bourre de Soie, another name for filoselle. Tailors' twist, coarse yarn for tailor's work.

Silk fabric woven in the Bombay district on hand looms from Indian silk, and dyed in the bandhana method. By this bandhana method, the white silk fabric is folded into two, four, eight, or sixteen folds, like folding a letter, corresponding with the number of repetitions of the design required. If two " repeats " are wanted, the fabric is folded once; for four " repeats " twice; for eight " repeats " three times, etc. On the uppermost of these folds the design is printed in lines, with blocks, in red ochre mixed with gum arable, and then knots are tightly tied at intervals along the lines with cotton thread, in such a way that when the fabric enters the dye, the dye will not penetrate to the small portion or spot on the cloth around which the thread is tied. The fabric is then " mordanted " with alum and dyed orange. Then another design is printed upon it in the interspaces of the first which remains tied, knots are tied on the second design, and the fabric dyed red. All the knots are then untied, the fabric spread on a small raised platform, and some of the orange spots touched with indigo to make them green. Bandhani is the name of this process in Gujrat, but in Rajputana and Ulwar, where Hindu is spoken, it is Bandhana. (Bandhana means knot tying, and is derived from the Hindu verb Bandhi, to tie.)

These are made in many qualities, usually in the three-shaft twill weave and used for linings. Variously made all silk; cotton warp, silk weft; and cotton warp, rayon weft.

A fabric, plain weave, all spun silk yarns, made in many qualities for undergarments. They are piece-dyed in fast to washing colours. The yarns are not fully de-gummed which gives a dull appearance to the fabric. A fair quality is made 84 ends and 64 picks per inch, from 40's T., 26's W. spun silk yarns. Another make has 40's/2 warp and 30's/2 weft. The real Fugi silk cloth is made in Japan from Hanneri silk yarns. Usually 29-in X 50 yards and 120's/2 to 140's/2 yams. These are known as heavy 120's two-fold, middle weight 140's two-fold. Also referred to as double weft and single weft, viz., 140's two-fold and 65's single.

These are silk fabrics woven from yarn dyed material.

General term for the tussah silk fabrics made in Thana, near Bombay, and woven by native Christian Hindoos. There are two principal types manufactured, one which is a check in small designs of black and white yarns and mostly used by Bohara and Parsi women; the other type used by European residents has geometric designs of Saracenic origin woven in colours. Both are woven about 24-in. wide, 12 yards long, or 18-in. wide and 15 yards long.

Silk fabric that can be washed without depreciation in appearance, e.g., the surface of the cloth should not become hairy and the colour should be as good as before washing.

The Silk Association of Great Britain and Ireland, Inc., has formulated the following definitions of " Silks ": - (1) Silk means the natural product of the silkworm, whether net, spun, or schappe silk. (2) Woven or knitted textiles and articles made therefrom. Silk goods may only be so called if they contain no other fibre than silk. They may be further qualified as pure silk goods if they contain no tin weighting and no added weight of any kind other than that which is an essential part of dyeing and finishing. (3) The word silk may be used for articles containing silk and other fibres provided it is clearly qualified, as for example, silk warp taffeta, silk warp poplin, silk pile velvet, silk mixture, silk union, etc. (4) Smallwares, certain smallwares containing silks in combination with other fibres (such as Paris bindings, gimps, eyeglass cords, etc.), have been by long established custom known as "silks." Only where there is a clear long established custom may they continue to be described as silk, otherwise the general principles set forth above will apply.
