Question

Why is silk-cotton not used for weaving fabric​

Answer 1

Answer: On burning, silk fabric shrinks due to the presence of protein whereas cotton fabric does not shrink ,Most silk fabrics can be hand washed. Technically, silk does not shrink like other fibers. If the fabric is not tightly woven, washing a silk will tighten up the weave…. thus, lighter weights of silk (say a crepe de chine of 14 mm) can be improved by washing as it will tighten up the weave. A tightly woven silk will not “shrink” or will “shrink” a lot less.

• Cotton fiber and wool is a natural fiber obtained from the fur of animals and plants. In raw form these fibers are not strong enough to make fabric. Further cotton wool is picked from cotton fields and it contains seeds and other particles in it.
