What are the selection techniques for silk quilts?
Color: High-quality silk should be milky white and slightly yellow. The surface has a soft luster. The silk fiber is very long, and each layer of silk is like a net. And may be accompanied by a small amount of pupa shell. After the surface silk is pulled apart, there are flocculent shredded silk without agglomerates inside. If there are rows of threads sewn on the quilt, it may be a fake silk quilt made of short fibers.
Keep warm: More than 38% of the inside of the silk is hollow. Its main ingredient is protein, which has good warmth retention and air permeability. Therefore, the authentic silk will not feel cold when it is just covered. When shopping, you can try to feel the warmth of the quilt by hand.
Quilt: If the entire quilt is sewn tightly, most of them are “quilted quilts” made of short fiber silk. Mulberry silk quilts have a zipper opening over 70 cm. When inspecting the silk, try to open the zipper so that the inner silk can be observed. In order to avoid the four corners are real silk but the middle is adulterated.
Static electricity: Silk is a poor conductor of electricity. Unzip the zipper on the side of the quilt cover, and quickly rub the quilt exposed at the zipper opening for about one minute. Then let it suck paper scraps with a width of about 0.3cm to 1cm. If the paper scraps can be sucked up, it means that the filler in the quilt is a chemical fiber or a large amount of chemical fiber.
