The lace that ordinary people know is just the beauty exuded from the surface of lace, and its true meaning is unknown to many people. Lace is a huge system, but very few people really understand it. Let us go and take a look today!
my country’s lace weaving industry started late. Before the 1980s, lace weaving machines were mainly imported from foreign countries. As time progressed to the early 1990s, Guangzhou and Zhejiang absorbed the characteristics of foreign machines and combined with the actual domestic situation, independently developed my country’s first lace machine, and used a lace factory in Shenzhen as a pilot unit. This has ended the problem of the need to import lace machines in my country.
There are many ways to produce lace. The main machines used are: Levis, Raschel and Karl Mayer lace machines. The classification is also mainly divided into the following categories:
1. Levis lace must be produced by specialized Levis leavers machines, which are rare in China. Basically, in Europe, France’s Noyang company is more famous. This kind of lace is the most high-end.
2． Raschel lace. This type of lace is produced using a Raschel lace machine. The main machine is the German Karl Mayer lace machine. There are many such machines in Changle, Fujian and Shantou, Guangdong.
3. The lace produced by computer embroidery machines is produced by computer embroidery machines. For example, water-soluble lace is produced by this type of machine.
Currently, there are the following types of common lace.
Water-soluble lace
This is to use polyester thread or viscose filament to weave the lace pattern on a piece of lining paper. After completion, use higher temperature water to dissolve the lining paper. Only the lace body remains, which is called water-soluble lace.
Synthetic fiber lace
This is a general term for a type of synthetic lace. Its materials are mainly nylon and spandex. Common chemical fiber laces are generally thin and hard. If they come into direct contact with the skin, they may It may feel a bit prickly, but this type of lace is cheap, comes in many patterns and colors, and is not easy to break.
Cotton lace
It is generally made by embroidering a lace shape with cotton thread on a cotton lining cloth, and then cutting out the hollow part of the cotton cloth. Lace is a relatively common type and can be seen on many clothes.
Cotton lace is mostly cheap, not easy to break, can be ironed at high temperatures, and feels good, but there are fewer styles.
Embroidery lace
Embroidery lace is to use cotton, polyester and other threads to embroider the lace shape on a layer of gauze, and then cut off the outer outline due to the interlining It is a gauze, so the feel will change depending on the hardness of the gauze, but it is generally believed that softer embroidery lace made of softer gauze is better.
Its advantages are that it feels soft and smooth, not easy to wrinkle, can be folded, and has good elasticity, but it cannot be ironed at high temperatures, has less shape, and is easy to tear.
Did you see that even lace has so many categories, so when people ask you what fabric you like in the future, don’t just say “lace”. After all, they are all made of textiles, which will make you look We are not professional~
