❇️ Preparation of raw materials ❇️
In the first stage of cashmere embroidery, the raw materials needed for this terme production are completely prepared. We told you earlier that currently cashmeres are woven from silk and wool. Of course, these products can be produced using other synthetic fibers such as viscose or polyester. But if cashmeres are to be woven with better fibers, wool and silk are usually used. The wool used for cashmere weaving should be completely white and uniform.
Silk is the same way. Whiteness and reaching the base color of the desired fibers makes them easily turn into desired colors and be used for cashmere texture. The wool and silks that are chosen for cashmere weaving should have very long fibers to make the process of cashmere weaving easier. Usually, special wool is used for the texture of cashmere, which are soft and strong, and their gloss and whiteness are also higher. Usually, the best wool in this field is the wool of the sides, belly, and back of the sheep's neck.
Washing raw materials
In the second stage of cashmere embroidery, the prepared wools are washed completely. Of course, if silk is to be used in this context, it is also washed to be completely cleaned. Wool and silk may be dirty and full of pollution in some cases. This is exactly why the step of washing raw materials for cashmere embroidery is a very important and vital step. Usually, before picking the wool, the sheep are washed completely for about 10 minutes, and in the next step, the wool is washed completely after picking, so that its pollution and impurities are completely removed. Usually, to get rid of the impurities in the wool, they are washed with lye to completely remove the fats.
❇️ dyeing the fibers ❇️ In the next stage of cashmere embroidery, the fibers are dyed. It can be said that the most interesting stage of obtaining information about what cashmere embroidery is, is knowing how to dye different types of fibers. When the wool and silk are completely bleached and any dirt is removed from them, they are ready for dyeing. The dyes that are used directly to dye the fibers do not last long. For this reason, it is the dyer's art that can increase the durability and stability of the color to a great extent and make the woven cashmere in the end to be of higher quality and better. The chemical substance that is used to fix the color is called Dandeh, which can increase the ability to absorb color in wool and silk to a great extent. Teeth may contain white alum, zinc, lead, chlorine, heart, etc. ❇️ The beginning of cashmere embroidery and cashmere weaving ❇️ Finally, after the fibers are completely dyed and prepared, the cashmere weaving process begins. In order for you to understand what cashmere embroidery is, you should also learn how to weave cashmere. Currently, cashmeres are woven both by hand and by machine. Keep in mind that weaving cashmere by hand will be very time-consuming and hand-woven cashmere is very expensive. As a rule, cashmere woven with special machines are cheaper and you can get them with a lower budget and use them. If cashmere is to be woven by hand, the art of cashmere weaving is very important. You may think that cashmere weaving and carpet weaving are similar to each other, but these two arts also have differences. In the art of cashmere embroidery, finesse and expertise are very important because the designs and colors of cashmere are created on a much smaller scale compared to carpets. This makes cashmere weaving more challenging and difficult than carpet weaving.
