First step : Degumming : This process begins with cleaning raw silk
which will be used as a warp and weft in order to take away all those
dirt and sericin. This cleaning process includes the boiling in hot
boiling water mixing with sodium carbonate, it can help to increase
the softness and shine to the silk, enhancing the quality color after
dyeing.
Second step : Bleaching : Local Thai silk fabric is naturally yellow, so we need to make it lighter by bleaching. We don’t need to do
bleaching for those silk yarn or hybrid which is already white unless we
want to make it real white. We use Hydrogen peroxide for this method.
Third step : Dyeing: This process starts with taking those bleached
fabrics to dye. Then, we may take those to rise in hot boiling and very
cold water until they are clean. Prior to further step, we must expose
the fabrics to the sun until they get dry.
Final step : Weaving : Traditional hand operated looms, as a local
ancestor method, involve in this step. How it works that is to prepare 1 set
of weft and 1 set of warp and put a warp yarn in between a weft yarn.
This weft yarn is separated by a harness while a reed is a tool to
tighten weft and warp yarn together as a whole piece of silk.
