Hello, the silkworm in Lushan Mountain is a filament made of tussah silk, called tussah silk. According to the different boiled and bleached cocoons and the different chemicals used, they can be divided into two types: medicinal silk and natural silk. Medicinal silk was bleached with peroxide, and the color of silk was light yellow. Grey silk bleached silkworm cocoons with alkaline substances, and the cocoon color was grayish brown. According to the different reeling methods, it can be divided into water reeling and dry reeling. Silk reeling with water is carried out in the warm soup of a vertical silk reeling machine, and the silk color is light yellow; Dry reeling is carried out on a dry reeling machine. All kinds of tussah silk made by machine and hand are mostly used to weave tussah silk with rough, rich, crisp and natural concave and convex surface. This kind of silk is also famous in the world, because it is mainly produced in Liaoning, Shandong, Henan, Heilongjiang and other provinces in the north of China, so it is called "Shandong Silk". Tussah silk is one of the unique natural textile materials in China. Its silk has a unique gem luster, natural and luxurious, smooth and comfortable. Ramie, known as green natural textile fiber, has been used as a high-grade textile and garment fabric because of its high strength, fast moisture absorption and heat dissipation, rough and elegant, antibacterial and antiseptic, health care and other functions. In recent years, people have made full use of the natural characteristics of these two fibers to research and develop tussah silk/ramie interwoven knitted fabric.
