Meisen
is a type of silk fabric traditionally produced in Japan; it is durable, hard-faced, and somewhat stiff, with a slight sheen, and slubbiness is deliberately emphasised. was first produced in the late 19th century, and became widely popular during the 1920s and 30s (late- Taishō to early-Shōwa period), when it was mass-produced and ready-to-wear kimono began to be sold in Japan. is commonly dyed using (Japanese ikat) techniques, and features what were then overtly modern, non-traditional designs and colours. remained popular through to the 1950s. The fibre used for is staple fibre (often silk noil), degummed and sized with soy milk, which increases durability and increases the depth and brilliance of the dye colours. Between 1910 and 1925 (late Taishō to Shōwa period), the ability to spin as well as weave noil by machine (see ) was developed into mass production. Prices dropped drastically, and silk cloth and clothing was suddenly within the budget of most Japanes ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Kasuri
is the Japanese term for fabric that has been woven with fibers dyed specifically to create patterns and images in the fabric, typically referring to fabrics produced within Japan using this technique. It is a form of ikat dyeing, traditionally resulting in patterns characterized by their blurred or brushed appearance. The warp and weft threads are resist-dyed in specific patterns prior to dyeing, with sections of the warp and weft yarns tightly wrapped with thread to protect them from the dye. When woven together, the undyed areas interlace to form patterns, with many variations –including highly pictographic and multi-colored results – possible to achieve. patterns may be applied to either the warp or the weft, or to both in order to create a resulting woven pattern, with the cloth classified using different names depending on the method used. Though commonly confused, the terms and are not interchangeable. While refers to a dyeing technique, , literally translating as ...

Tanmono
A is a bolt of traditional Japanese narrow-loomed cloth. It is used to make traditional Japanese clothes, textile room dividers, sails, and other traditional cloth items. ( is a placeholder name) are woven in units of , a traditional unit of measurement for cloth roughly analogous to the bolt, about by about . One kimono takes one () of cloth to make. are woven in the narrow widths most ergonomic for a single weaver (at a handloom without a flying shuttle). Fibers may be woven of a variety of fibers, including silk, wool, hemp, linen and cotton. Polyester is also popular, as it is easy to wash at home. In the Jomon period (8000–300BC) people made twined textiles from a variety of bast fibers from wild plants. Wild fibers () include the inner bark of wild trees or shrubs (), and grass fibers (). Between the 2nd and 3rd centuries BC, immigrants from the mainland began using the domesticated long-stapled ramie plant. Silk was also known at this time, but used on ...

Slubbed
A slub in textiles production refers to thickened areas of a fiber or yarn. Slubbed or slubby fabric is woven from slubby yarn (yarn with a very variable diameter). Both high and low slubbiness may be sought. Slubs in spun fibers may be produced deliberately by varying spinning tension (see Novelty yarns#Slub). They are also produced when short, staple fibers are spun into a single yarn. Slubs may be valued or deliberately produced for aesthetic effect, but they may also be regarded as a defect caused by either uneven spinning or using low-grade, lumpy or short-staple fiber. Types Slubby cotton fabric includes: *Madras (cloth), woven from short-staple cotton *Some denim used for jeans; the slubs cause the cloth to fade unevenly, in a pattern called Linen is often slubbed. Wool Wool is the textile fibre obtained from sheep and other mammals, especially goats, rabbits, and camelids. The term may also refer to inorganic materials, such as mineral wool and glass wool, t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
