Silk production process
In terms of the craftsmanship of silk production, the selection of cocoons, the control of the cocoon cooking temperature, and the control of the pulling force are all condensed with the unique wisdom of generations of veteran craftsmen.


01 Cocoon Selection There are two main types of silk currently on the market: Mulberry silk and Tussah silk. Look at the color: Mulberry silk is the kind of soft white with a lustrous luster, just like the white of the skin; tussah silk is pale yellow when it is not bleached, and it is pale white after bleaching, lacking luster. Feeling: The mulberry silk has a slightly astringent feel, which is the feeling of friction between the skin and the skin; the tussah silk feels more rough and has some knots.
02Cooking cocoons
Put it in a special container and boil it. This is also a degreasing process. In the end, most of the sericin on the surface falls off and the weight of the silk is reduced by half. After degreasing, the silk quilt is not easy to compact and can be turned over.


Cooking cocoons is very particular. First of all, the time must be mastered. Too bad cooking will make the quilt not strong. If it is too raw, it will affect the processing, and the finished product will also have raw lumps.
03 Peel the cocoon
Peel the silkworm cocoon with your fingernails to take out the silkworm pupa, spread the cocoon and put it on your hand, remove the silkworm pupa and its black part, stack it to 5-6 layers, remove and gently pull it into a small square silk piece, superior double palace The cocoon can be pulled into a small piece by dialing about 5 cocoons in the hand. This process is best performed in clean flowing water.


04 open cotton
To open means to stretch out, and to stretch out, and cotton means silk and cotton pockets. Put the small pieces of silk on a bow-shaped bamboo tool, fold it to 5-6 layers and remove it to form a wet mulberry silk pocket.
05 drying cotton
Use a dehydrator to remove the moisture from the wet silk floss pockets, then string them with nylon thread and let them dry in the sun.

06 Stretch
Firstly, one of the dried semi-circular cotton pockets was torn open a notch and pulled into a piece of cotton. Then four people pulled the four ends of the piece of cotton and pulled the piece of cotton into layers of silk.
It should be in accordance with the density requirements, not strong or weak, and not hurriedly or slowly. It can be considered as soft and soft as "even as paper" and "clear as jade". This step is very time-consuming and requires endurance.


Generally, about 35 silk cotton pockets only stretch 1 catty of silk quilt. A silk quilt requires about 25 double cocoons. In other words, a catty of silk quilt requires more than 800 double cocoons, and a catty and a half of silk quilt consumes thousands of double cocoons. The preciousness of silk quilt lies in its hard-won.
07 Turn over the quilt
Lay the stretched soft silk floss layer by layer to form a quilt, and then use cotton or silk as a quilt cover or quilt cover. When putting the quilt core into the quilt cover, you must first fix the thread around the inner periphery and turn it over. The top of the quilt should also be properly positioned to ensure that the silk quilt will not slide and deform.

08 manual positioning
Fix the silk and the quilt together to prevent the silk from sliding in the quilt, so that a handmade silk quilt is basically completed.
