The Dyeing And Finishing Technology Of Xiangyun Yarn Can Not Be Replaced By Machinery.

Xiangyun gauze is made from natural and special river mud of Guangdong and Guangxi special products such as "Dioscorea" juice and Pearl River Delta.

The changes of the times and the vicissitudes of life have been carried out by several generations of old teachers who have been taught and cultivated carefully.

Dyeing and finishing of Lun Jiao yarn in 2008

According to the introduction, there are two kinds of raw materials for making Xiangyun gauze, one is river mud, and the other must be non polluted river mud, the other is black brown.

When processing the jellyfish yarn, the juice of the dauber is used as the natural dye. After repeated dyeing and dyeing, the semi finished products of the brown silk are dyed, and then the black pond mud is applied to the single side, and then exposed to the scorching sun.

When the pond mud and other biochemical components are fully reacted with the jellyfish juice, shake off the pond mud and clean it, it becomes a black and yellow, oily glistening gauze.

The real superior yarn is black and the reverse is yellowish brown.

Liang Zhu, manager of the dyeing and finishing technology of Xiangyun yarn, represents the successor and manager of the Lun Jiao Cheng Tan Tan factory. The traditional dyeing and finishing technology of the yarn has a total of more than 30 processes, including green silk, scouring, dipping of scythe, drying, scouring, passing mud, washing, drying, spreading fogs, stretching and fitting.

And every process must be in place to ensure the quality of the yarn.

This is a purely manual process without the use of modern machinery.

And "depend on the sky" because the last dyeing process needs to be exposed to the scorching sun.

In good weather, a batch of gauze will take a week to complete.

Although the pure manual operation led to the slow production speed, limited number and high price, Liang Zhu revealed that the production of genuine fragrant gauze can not be laziness and can not be completed by modern machinery.

He said: "now, in the whole production process, except for the extraction of Dioscorea, the machine is no longer needed to hand grind, other processes are purely manual processes.

Some silk companies once brought the production technology of Xiangyun yarn to many factories in Dandong, Liaoning, and used mechanized production. However, the produced yarn can not be separated from both sides, and the quality is greatly affected.

So at present, mechanization can not really make the real yarn, only the traditional dyeing and finishing technology.

Liang Zhu said: "Xiangyun gauze is so far the world's unique green fabric, need protection and inheritance, can not be lost.
