Chapter 210: Yarn-dyed
In the real yàn room, against the geometric figures, seven colors of muslin, several engineers couldn't help but hold their breath, multi-color, two-color, and even three-color mixing, which is a pioneering feat in printing and dyeing, since 1856, synthetic fuels have appeared, as for the mixing of the three primary colors, it is the common sense that many people know, that is, these two simple common sense, combined, but draw such a perfect picture, not many people think, can be applied here, but it is very perfect
The future generation is not only an era of consulting, the huge amount of information will give people more ideas, bring newer solutions and visions to solve problems, which is also beyond the technology of this era, Yang Yuanzhao is more amusing than them.
Yang Yuanzhao tilted his head to look at this printing and dyeing, to be honest, he has a lot of ideas, it seems that some of the more creative dyeing, can be carried out according to this, there is no way to be like the painter's exquisite patterns of calligraphy and painting, it can be similar to the computer painting of later generations, with different geometric patterns, to form a picture scroll, as long as the creativity is good, the dye used is moderate, it may not be an excellent product.
Triple dyeing, perfectly completed, seven colors of this cloth, was sought after by everyone, Yang Yuanzhao thought twice, let the chemical room continue to study the formula of multiple dyeing, as for him, he pioneered another mentions, yarn-dyed.
Yarn-dyed weaving, which is a commonly used weaving method in Chinese colored silk, with the help of different colors of silk, to put it bluntly, is in the food of silkworms, add different dyes, and eventually silk will form different colors, so that you can weave mottled silk. This is also one of the most important methods among fine silks. The famous Shu brocade is the fine product in yarn-dyed. Some embroidery was added.
The yarn-dyed cotton cloth, known as zebra cloth in ancient times, also known as plaid cloth, has a deep history in the south of the Yangtze River, and Nantong is famous for its yarn-dyed cloth, which are some simple plaid cloth and ordinary graphics.
Yang Yuanzhao's proposal is to go one step further, with the help of printing and dyeing factories, which are more than ordinary dyeing workshops. In the premise of color, you can form multiple weaving, weaving, in a sense, is a simple repetition process, on the warp and weft, different color collocation, will form different colors, harmonious and unified geometric figures. This is one of the keys to yarn-dyed, and further, it is drawn with different silk threads.
Yang Yuanzhao entered the real yàn room, next to a loom. Countless 80-count spun yarns, doing sorting, on top of each one. are full of labels, which is a new topic proposed by Yang Yuanzhao. Multi-yarn painting.
Compared with a color of ordinary printing and dyeing, yarn-dyed is woven on a certain dù. It is more suitable for the vision of later generations, later generations, most of the fabrics, are yarn-dyed, its color is more beautiful, the surface is the same, there is no fading and irregularity, is an important textile method for bedding and high-end fabrics.
The method used is to complete the coloring work of cotton yarn with the help of printing and dyeing, and then, in the machine, add different kinds of colors, and complete the entire weaving process with the cooperation of the machine or skilled workers.
In today's real room, there are a group of female workers, most of them have worked in the southern weaving factory, more or less, have been in contact with yarn-dyed, according to their instructions, the different colors of high-count fine yarn, with the help of professional looms, to make zuò out, squares, parallelograms, triangles, different types of graphics, so that Yang Yuanzhao has a sense of time and space, a single color, no matter how amazing, can not compare to the combination of multiple colors and graphics.
The pattern of the machine qì is a fixed geometric pattern, in this case, different colors, fine and dense to complete different patterns, in order to achieve different effects, a piece of cloth, forming such a pattern, looks more high-end than before.
Several engineers, when the weavers were working, stepped forward and carefully checked the weaving process, from time to time on a record book, writing and drawing, no computer drawing, no computer program, to complete this, it is necessary to have the spatial imagination of scientists, to complete the hard work.
For three whole days, they were recording the results, and then, a new attempt, round.
Zebra cloth, most of which are lattice, do long, forming a triangle, or even a quadrilateral, these have a characteristic, that is, straight lines, on the loom, the warp and weft are straight lines, different colors, will form an extremely neat real yàn effect, other graphics, it is difficult to complete.
Yang Yuanzhao's goal, at the beginning, was to complete a complete figure, but he was very clear about how difficult a picture was, and he could only start with irregular shapes and circles.
The idea is good, but the reality is like a stick in the head, the researcher has gone through careful checking, and finally, it shows that the circle is not able to be completed, or in other words, the completion can no longer be called a simple circle, to use the distinct different colors of silk threads, to complete the circle drawing, which is almost not much easier than embroidery, the weaving as embroidery, even if it is successful, this cost, is unacceptable.
The real yàn entered a stalemate, a large amount of investment, and even tilted most of the strength of the entire real yàn room, but the research was stagnant, Yang Yuanzhao was also a little unwilling, the leading yarn-dyed, just copied out of the zebra, at most, just rich categories, and could not become beyond the seven-color printing and dyeing object, at this time, a researcher's mention yì, greatly promoted the process, if the printing and dyeing, yarn-dyed, and printing these three aspects are combined, can it be a breakthrough?
Yang Yuanzhao's eyes lit up, this is not the future generations, the computer-controlled loom, there is no way to adjust the stool, the plaid cloth is already a breakthrough, now, you can complete the five colors of silk thread to weave together, in the future, with the continuation of mechanical research, maybe the number of colors will be more.
Regular geometric shapes, which form an aesthetic sense, are dyed with prints and steam, in which circles and other shapes that cannot be made by weaving can be drawn, and the rendering of colors is added, and it seems that an unexpected feat will come out.
Just do it, the atmosphere in the room has always been very good, huge rewards, and a lot of investment, so that everyone is full of energy, it took half a day to complete the collection of materials, arrange the yarn-dyed and printing procedures, a new piece of cloth began to be manufactured, 5-color yarn-dyed, need to use 5 workers, in different directions, control the loom to work, five colors, in the editing of warp and weft, gradually fill the entire figure, or a simple square, But the colors are more exquisite, and they are more harmonious.
Almost more than an hour, 5 people worked together, a piece of cloth was completed, several workers are carefully selected, the craftsmanship is extraordinary, this piece of cloth is also of the highest quality.
Five-color plaid cloth, printed so exquisitely, each batch is at least more than 150 silver dollars, the researchers did not stop, continue to print and dye, this time, using a printing machine from Germany.
This printing machine, relatively simple, Yang Yuanzhao in addition to the power system, a little change, did not modify the overall structure, printing is also the simplest, flowers, five-pointed stars, circles and other slightly more complex graphics, the original plaid cloth on the five colors, respectively, red, yellow, purple, sky blue and cyan, this printing, then the choice of orange, with the largest flowers, after calculation, just the most central geometric figures of the plaid cloth, all wrapped.
Steam transpiration, the machine qì smooth lì started, after a toss, the printing was also completed, a plaid cloth, there are 24 more huge flowers, it and a variety of colors of lattice, the perfect combination of one, in the square mechanical lines, a little more soft.
It stands to reason that this dyed cloth, up to now, has come to an end, different graphics, different colors of cloth, the perfect combination of one, there is some artistic beauty, but the real yàn members, and launched a steam printing and dyeing machine, under the thin steam, began to be finely carved, the flower cloth formed by different colors of the grid, most of which are the same color grid, a small part, is white, the grid is more than a foot, the small one is almost the size of a palm, the steam printing and dyeing machine, has already undergone a series of adjustmentsThis one is the most accurate, flexible on the wide surface of the cloth, constantly moving, little by little to dye one by one lattice.
Compared with the previous two dyeing, this time the dyeing process is slower, no one said a word, everyone is focused on dyeing, looking forward to the birth of the finished product.
Finally, at 12 o'clock in the evening, after more than 7 hours of printing and dyeing, a beautiful picture was dyed, in general, it was still a square, but there were some more things, green grass, blue sky, and even at the top, there was a round of sun, below, all kinds of flowers, under the abstract geometric figures, actually combined into a whole.
Steam printing and dyeing, printing and yarn-dyed combination, really can form exquisite works, as far as this cloth is concerned, can not be called cloth, but can be called a work of art, but unfortunately this direction, is not quite right, the efficiency of printing and dyeing is too slow, industrial society and machine qì large production, what is his advantage, is the output, output, and finally output, 5 skilled weavers, 12 printing and dyeing masters, plus 3 engineers, such a lineup, can not be described as luxurious, from the daytime, until 12 o'clock at night, Almost a whole day, I was busy with this, minus labor costs, the profit of this printing and dyeing may not be higher than that of plaid cloth and ordinary steam printing and dyeing, which is too labor-intensive.
This is not what Yang Yuanzhao wants, plaid cloth and printing, in the real yàn, proved its role, can combine the two, increase the diversity of plaid cloth, as for printing and dyeing, we also need to find another way, find a better printing and dyeing method.
The engineers were instructed to continue their research on this printing and dyeing, but most of the personnel were still transferred to another real room. (To be continued......) RT
