Manufacture, assembly and use of silk grenadine

Manufacturing

Silk grenadine is designed on old looms dating, for the most part, from the 19th century. These machines are only present in Europe and very few are still active today which creates a certain rarity .

The daily production of a loom is extremely reduced given its age and the weaving method. For example: The loom above has a daily production of between 12 and 20 meters.

Assembly

There cutting and the assembly of a grenadine tie ask for a know-how just as rare of which only a few workshops have the secret.

From Italian « garza » (gaze in French) for his transparent appearance , grenadine must be accompanied by matching linings for each color , so as not to create competition between the colors.
