Buying silk is "four coups"
1. The appearance of high-quality silk has a pearl-like color and diffuse refraction of light. Clean and less impurities, the silk road is orderly and tidy; and the poor quality silk is often added with bleach and other chemicals, the appearance is pale, not shiny and moist, more impurities, silky roads.
2. The high-quality silk touch is smooth, smooth and elastic, and has no hard clumps; while the inferior silk has a soft touch, no flexibility, no moist feeling, and has a relatively large number of stolons, clams, oysters and medlar. Silk with a taste of oily or mildew is inferior.
3. When burning real silk, it immediately turns into ash and burns quickly. It is loosely gray after burning and has a burnt smell of hair.
4. Fiber strength The better the silk stretch, the better the quality. The same long silkworm, after stretching, the longer the better the quality.
