Boiling-Off Silk, Part 2
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A one-page installment of J. L. Girard's series on boiling-off (degumming) silk, dealing with delicate fabrics such as Alencon tulle, "Illusion" net and "Islande" silk lace that fray under ordinary degumming. It explains why circulating-liquor methods fail and describes the "cushion process," in which the wide piece is wound, folded into a cushion, joined into a ring and handled like a skein in the soap bath, sometimes inside a cloth sack.
