Shantung Fabric

We are manufacturing, exporting and supplying huge range of Shantung Fabrics in New Delhi, Delhi, India. Shantung Fabric is a heavy fabric that is often made with either silk fibers or some form of synthetic fibers that are meant to be substitutes for cotton filaments. Sometimes referred to as spun wild silk, the texture is somewhat rough but not unpleasant to the touch. One of the characteristics that give it its reputation as a rough fabric is found in the weave of the material. Instead of some sort of intricate weave, shantung employs as very simple plain weave design with a ribbed effect. What allows the plain weave to produce the raised or ribbed sections of the fabric is the fact that slubbed yarns are applied in the warp of the material. The use of raw silk fibers in the weave is sometimes produced with similar results by using nylon or rayon blends that are geared toward imitating the look and feel of slubbed cotton fibers. Whether produced with spun silk or synthetic blends, shantung is a durable nubby fabric that has both texture and visual attraction.One of the more common uses of this rough silk fabric is in the production of mena s suits and jackets that are considered heavy enough for wear in cooler weather. Ideal for the spring and autumn seasons, shantung jackets can be the perfect compliment to a pair of dress slacks or a pair of jeans.
