Product More Info

Crepe de Chine is created using a ribbed weave with 2- to 6-ply tightly spun S-twisted and Z-twisted filament yarns on the warp and untwisted weft yarns. This unique weaving method produces the fabric's characteristic crinkled texture and durability. It is commonly made from silk, rayon, acetate, polyester, or rayon blends.
