As early as the ancient Silk Road period, Chinese silk was famous for its unique jacquard weaving process. Jacquard technology, this ancient technique, can be traced back to the fabrics unearthed in the Shang Dynasty, among which the linear geometric patterns such as diamond pattern, Hui pattern and cup pattern are its early representatives. With the evolution of the times, the silk jacquard in the Qin and Han Dynasties incorporated small flower Hui patterns such as birds, beasts, clouds and a small number of plants, while in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the rich and rich large Hui plant patterns such as curling grass and round flowers gradually became the mainstream. Until the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the jacquard pattern tended to be more natural, smooth, delicate and exquisite, showing a unique oriental charm.

So, what is jacquard? In short, jacquard is to form a concave and convex pattern on the textile through the interlaced weaving of warp and weft. This pattern is determined during the weaving process and cannot be changed after the fabric is formed. Jacquard fabrics have a strong three-dimensional sense, soft colors, and excellent texture. They are both thick and strong. They are high-end fabrics that are durable and rich in connotation. In addition, jacquard fabrics can be divided into large jacquards and small jacquards according to the size of the jacquard, and can be divided into warp knitting jacquards, weft knitting jacquards, and woven fabrics according to the weaving method. Each type has its own unique features.

Many advantages of jacquard fabrics

Jacquard fabrics are not only famous for their unique patterns and textures, but also show unique decorativeness and artistic atmosphere in the fields of clothing and home textiles and bedding. Its concave and convex surface texture not only adds a sense of layering and three-dimensionality, but also creates a deep effect visually. In addition, jacquard design is extremely flexible. Whether it is fashion, home textiles or accessories, jacquard technology can be used to achieve colorful patterns and designs to meet the needs of various styles and tastes. Therefore, jacquard fabrics are widely used in many fields such as fashion and home textiles and bedding. They are known as an artistic fabric that can inject unique design elements into clothing and home textiles.

Disadvantages of Jacquard Fabric

Although jacquard fabric has many advantages, it also has some disadvantages. First, its production cost is relatively high, which is mainly caused by the special process and equipment required to make jacquard fabric. Therefore, the corresponding product price may also be high. Second, the surface of jacquard fabric is uneven, which makes some details more susceptible to friction and wear. Therefore, extra care is required during use and maintenance to extend its service life. In addition, the texture and pattern of some jacquard fabrics may increase the complexity of cleaning and maintenance, and special care methods are required.

How to maintain jacquard fabric

Different washing methods should be used for different types of jacquard fabrics. At the same time, jacquard fabrics of different colors should be handled separately when washing to prevent fading. In addition, since there are long floating threads on the reverse side of jacquard fabrics, they should be avoided from being washed with thick fabrics or fabrics with zippers to prevent snagging or scratching the fabric. Before washing, it is also necessary to confirm whether the jacquard fabric is suitable for machine washing to avoid damage caused by improper washing.
