Chapter 19: Dyeing Cloth

Yun Xi asked people to build a few large stoves on the idle ground behind the workshop, brought a few large vats, and built a greenhouse. After QiΔ“ was ready, Yun Xi asked Song Jie to be invited. Song Jie saw the tent set up temporarily and said that it would be very cold in winter, and it was about to pass the winter." Yun Xi said: "Temporary, we will start building tomorrow, and this time we will build a few more factories, so as not to be insufficient, current."

There are urgent needs, batching workshop, cutting workshop, ironing workshop".

Song Jie asked people to move several jars of dyes from their hometown from the workshop to the shed, and after they were ready, they began the first process of dyeing the cloth: pre-treatment: desizing-boiling-bleaching. Song Jie explained to Yunxi while operating with the workers that desizing is an important process of fabric bleaching, which not only removes the slurry on the fabric, but also removes the impurities on the fabric. Generally, it is required that the desizing rate is 80/100 or the residual pulp on the fabric is less than 1/100.

Operation method: put the grey cloth into a cauldron with a temperature of 80 degrees - 85 degrees and put it in alkaline water for desizing. After the pulp is retired, it will go to the second process of boiling: boiling is the main process in the pre-treatment of cotton cloth, mainly with caustic soda smelting, that is, the desizing is not put into the caustic soda cauldron to cook, and then put it in the vat to wash the cloth and out the cloth. In the last process of bleaching pretreatment, although most of the impurities have been removed after desizing and scouring, and the cloth is white enough, some light-colored fabrics and colored fabrics still need to be bleached and bleached by sulfur fumigation, or repeatedly soaked with plant ash and lime.

The second process is to dye we only use plant dyes, after the pretreatment of the cloth, put into the dyeing pot that has been under the plant dyes, the temperature is 40-60 degrees, and the dyeing can be done for 30 minutes.

The third way, color fixing: a certain amount of salt can be added to the plant dye fixing, or you can add an environmentally friendly fixing agent, which can be fished out after 30 minutes of color fixing and dried.

The fourth is printing, after all, a color is too monotonous, printing is a process of printing the dye on the fabric according to the designed color. Commonly used processes include direct printing, drawing printing, and anti-dyeing.

Direct printing is direct printing, which refers to the most basic printing technology for color dyeing and printing directly on the fabric. Several dyes can be used at the same time.

Discharge dyeing is the process of using whitening agent to dye the fabric, and then print the white paste according to the color of the destruction pigment, and the part of the white paste will not change color after steaming.

Anti-dyeing is to print the fabric according to the pattern with anti-white pulp or color anti-pulp, and then dye it after drying, because the pattern part has anti-white pulp, so it is not dyed.

The last process is finishing, which includes stenter weft correction and ironing.

Song Jie said that he could only dye it first today, but he could use anti-dye, and said that he took out several patterns for Yun Xi to pick, Yun Xi picked the patterns and gave them to Song Jie, Song Jie coated the patterns with anti-dyeing agent and stuck them on the bleached white cloth. After finishing the dyeing, Yun Xi saw various patterns jumping on the cloth. The pattern is still white, but the rest of the area is dyed. This way it looks clear and not ugly. Song Jie said: "If you want to dry the dyeing **, I will cool the colored cloth to the workshop!" ”

The workers cooled the dyed cotton cloth to the steel wire drawn in the workshop, and Yun Xi looked at the colorful cotton cloth, as if he saw himself walking the catwalk in Milan with a team wearing various clothes designed by himself. Looking at these colored cloth Yunxi decided to design unique clothes, and when the time came, she would also hold a huge fashion week, and she also wanted to take her models to foreign countries to walk the catwalk.

I think I won the first prize for design at Milan Fashion Week. Thinking about how easy it is to mix well in this poor country, thinking about the ups and downs he has gone through, Yun Xi shook his head helplessly.

Just thinking about it, Song Jie touched Yun Xi and said, "What do you think, let's go, it's time to eat." ”

Maybe it's from the same era! Yun Xi found that Song Jie was becoming more and more tolerant of himself, and he had a smile on his face from time to time, and he was not reluctant to do some intimate actions towards him, these two people were holding hands, maybe they didn't feel lonely anymore! Thinking about the cold face when I first met him, as if someone owed him money, it seemed that his role was not small. Think about how the father and son could have come to this day without Jiachen at the beginning. I felt a lot of emotion in my heart, and I looked at Jia Chen a few more times when I was eating, and Jia Chen was inexplicably seen, thinking that there was something on his face, and he wiped his face from time to time.
