What are the characteristics of silk reeling fans?

1 and reeling are different from embroidery and brocade. It adopts the weaving mode of "warp and weft breakage", while the general weaving mode of brocade is "warp and weft penetration", that is, the weft runs through the whole width of the fabric. Silk reeling machine has its own special loom, which is a simple flat wood machine. When weaving, the warp is first loaded on the loom, and the warp is lined with a drawing or manuscript. Weavers use brushes to draw colorful patterns on the warp surface, and then use boat shuttles to weave blocks with various silk threads about 10 cm long. Therefore, the completion of a silk fan work often puts a lot of effort into the author.

2. Silk reeling fan works are highly ornamental. Many silk fan-shaped works include both plane tapestries with color blocks and structural tapestries with composition and modeling. Generally speaking, the three-dimensional sense of silk reeling works is very strong, and the theme of silk reeling works is deeply loved by people, and its artistic and ornamental value can be comparable to that of famous paintings and calligraphy.

3. Silk reeling can change color freely, so it is especially suitable for making calligraphy and painting works. Weavers who weave colored weft yarns must have certain artistic attainments. The structure of silk reeling fabric follows the principles of "fine warp and coarse weft", "white warp and colored weft" and "straight warp and curved weft". That is, the natural color warp is thin, the colored weft is thick, and the warp is picked up by the weft, and only the colored weft is displayed without exposing the warp. Because the colored weft completely covers the upper part of the fabric, the shrinkage of the weft after weaving will not affect the effect of the picture pattern.
