Gambiered Canton gauze, is an expensive silk yarn, with silk fabric coated by product dioscorea cirrhosais juice, a characteristic plant in Guangdong, then covered by specific ore-bearing river swell sludge in the Pearl River Delta and processed from insolation

The silk rustles when worn by people who are walking. Therefore, it’s called Rustling Canton Gauze originally and homophonically Gambiered Canton Gauze.

Originating from: Accident Discovery of Fishermen in Water Villages

In the early days, fishermen in the Pearl River Delta immersed fishing nets with dioscorea cirrhosais juice, which were made strong and durable. Shortly afterwards, fishermen discovered that clothes immersed in dioscorea cirrhosais juice became as strong as fishing nets. Then they inadvertently contaminated clothes with river mud, which got increasingly soft and durable when worn.

Farmers producing silk fabric applied the method of fishermen’s immersing fabrics to immersing silk fabrics, which is the predecessor of gambiered Canton gauze dyeing.

Demystification: How is precious gambiered Canton gauze made?

the reason why gambiered Canton gauze is precious lies in material adoption of pure silk as raw materials and natural dioscorea cirrhosais as dyestuff. However, the most valuable is that gambiered Canton gauze is made manually.

Since gambiered Canton gauze has many dyeing processes, farmers have to get up at four or five in the morning. When the sun rises, they have to keep drying and gathering cloth under the scorching sun. When the sun goes down, they continue to clear up, tie up and carry the cloth into the warehouse, to repeat the steps the day before when getting up the next day.

It costs at least seven to eight years to cultivate a qualified worker. Real gambiered Canton gauze can only be made in the hands of a skilled dioscorea cirrhosais yarn worker.

Through time and time, after several ups and downs, a blur of silk must be successfully activated in commercial development perhaps under the protection of the government and the industry!
