What is the difference between Charmeuse silk,Mulberry sillk,and Crepe
de chine silk?
Mulberry silk refers to the silk made from the cocoons
of the larvae of Mulberry silkworms reared in captivity. The entire
production process has been carefully monitored. And the environment of
the silkworm larvae is also strictly controlled.
These allow for the larvae to spin silk threads that are rounder, more
excellent, smoother, lighter, and more uniformly colored than any other
type of silk in the world. Mulberry silk fibers are also firm, easily
beating steel fibers of the same diameter in strength and durability.
What is Charmeuse silk?
Charmeuse silk, technically speaking, does not refer
to a type of material as Mulberry silk does; it is a silk fabric made
with a particular way of weaving, allowing for extra luster and shine on
the front side in exchange for a dull finish at the back. Charmeuse silk
can be made from all kinds of different silk including Mulberry silk and
is often used on products that do not require showcasing of both sides
of the fabric such as pillowcases and duvet covers.
Advantage:
Charmeuse silk has a beautiful sheen in the front and looks
very luxurious
