Crepe Fabric

We have been successful enough to formulate diverse fabric materials. These crepe fabrics are made either from natural fibers or synthetic fibers, and each thread comes with various properties and procures the same to the fabric. Crepe fabric is one such well-known and heavily used material.

What is Crepe fabric?

Crepe is made by giving weaving treatment to wool, silk, or other synthetic material to give a 3-dimensional touch to the fabric. Crepe garments or textiles are generally delicate to touch. These fabrics have a shiny luster and are thus used for ceremonial and auspicious occasions.

In ancient times, crepe fabric used to have cultural importance. Women belonging to western culture used to wear crepe fabric at times of mourning. Recently the trends of crepe fabric have faded away, but still, some manufacturers use the traditional way of crafting crepe textile.

How is crepe fabric made?

Today Crepe fabric has made a massive place in high fashion and other decorative apparel designs. When mixed with other fabric materials, Crepe gives out unique looks and appeal. In addition, crepe fabrics are in great demand due to their high breathable quality. crepe fabrics are  also preferred to wear daily because of it’s softness and comfort feeling.  So let’s see; it’s a formulation that makes crepe fabric an excellent choice to go for.

Crepe fabric is made with the help of numerous materials and their combination, including both natural and synthetic fibers. These fibers are made using diverse processes depending on their manufacturing techniques. As a result, crepe formation involves different ways that create an impact that can be conceded upon as being Crepe.

Crepe yarn is made by following the two vital processes. The initial step is called yarn twisting. The yarn twisting process involves the process of twisting textile fibers tightly. This tight binding is more firm and stiff than usual. In addition to this, “S” and “Z” shaped twists are made to allow the fabric to attain the desired bounce. These alternating twisting in “S” and “Z” shapes are also called right-hand and left-hand twists. The basic principle of crepe fabric formation is the left-hand and right-hand twists. Crepe fabric can be formed with any fiber by using this technique.

Once the Crepe is formed using the twisting technique, the following process is to dye it. Then, Crepe is dyed, treated, and ready to be spun into the garments. Many times, the place where yarn is spun and garments made are the same. While sometimes, the spun fabric needs to be transported to the manufacturing unit, where it can be turned into garments.

Crepe Fabric is lightweight, soft to touch, and highly breathable, making it a perfect choice. The base fabric decides the different properties and features of the crepe fabric.
