Cloqué

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cloqué (from the French cloqué = blister, a blister forming) is one of the crepe tissues and is also called bubble crepe , referred to as the typical crepe tissue discarded appearance is achieved by blistering the surface.

The fabric is used for fashionable evening dresses and blazers because of its interesting structure . Cloqué fabrics and fabrics should not be ironed , if it were necessary, then only weakly and from the left (inside side).

Manufacturing

There are three methods of production:

  • Real cloqué with a fabric made up of two warp and two weft systems , the latter with smooth and creped yarns .
  • Half-cloqué with only one warp, but two weft yarns (smooth and creped)
  • Shrink cloqué using shrinkable and non -shrinkable synthetic fibers . The cloqué effect is achieved in the finishing .

With real cloqué fabric, the warp threads of the upper fabric are loose, those of the lower fabric ( georgette ) are taut. The lower warp attaches to the upper weft in certain repeats, and the upper fabric lies loosely on it between the attachment points. In the finishing run through the wet treatment, the crepe yarns or high-shrinkage yarns of the lower fabric together, are shorter and deflect the upper fabric bubble-like high. The resulting relief is permanent.
