There Is a Big Difference Between Zhang Satin And Zhang Velvet

   Although Zhang satin and Zhang velvet are silk threads of the same color, because one is a loop and the other is a fluff, the surface shape is different, and the refraction of light is also different, so the pattern is very clear.

   Although Zhang satin is also developed from Zhang velvet, it is fluffed on the satin floor, so it is quite different from Zhang velvet in terms of weaving technology, not only in looms but also in institutional configuration. Zhang satin must be woven by bunched jacquard, and the ground weave is generally eight warp satins, which are interwoven by two sets of warp threads and four sets of weft threads. In order to make the pattern firm, the velvet warp adopts the four-weft W-type consolidation method. The weft insertion sequence is carried out in a cycle of coarse weft, fine weft, middle weft, middle weft, and pile rod. After weaving to a certain length, the velvet warp is scraped with a knife. When broken, a towering and firm fluff pattern is formed.

    For a long time, Zhang satin products have been woven by hand, and the weaving must be done by the puller and the weaver (now there is also a jacquard machine instead of the puller). The process of weaving with weft and pick-and-pocket and "scratching" must be done by hand so far, and cannot be replaced by machinery.

   Velvet fabric and Zhang satin are both developed on the basis of Zhang velvet, so there are certain similarities and differences between the three. They are all hand-woven mulberry silk yarn-dyed velvet fabrics. , using the raising rod to raise the pile, the consolidation method of the loop velvet adopts the "W" shape consolidation, but from the point of view of the weaving process, the difference between velvet and Zhang velvet is relatively small, and Zhang satin and Zhang velvet are not only flower element, but weave method of making is also different, and the difference between the two is quite large.
