A general term for crepe and chijimi fabrics made with tightly twisted yarn. Often used to refer to Western-style fabrics. The fabric is woven using tightly twisted yarn for the warp or weft, or both, and is then desizing and scoured to shrink the woven surface and create crinkles. Depending on the direction of twist, the number of twists, and how the twisted yarn is used, a variety of fabrics can be produced. In the early modern period, with the development of yarn twisting machines, its use increased rapidly, and in addition to the main material of silk, it was applied to cotton, wool, and linen, giving rise to many different types. Silk crepe in particular is used for nightwear, underwear, blouses, etc., because of its soft texture and lightness.

強撚糸(きょうねんし)を使った縮緬(ちりめん)や、縮(ちぢみ)などの総称。とくに洋装生地をさしていることが多い。経糸(たていと)または緯糸(よこいと)、あるいはその両方に強撚糸を使い、製織したのち、糊(のり)抜き、精練などをして織り面を収縮させ、しぼをつくるが、撚(よ)りの方向、撚り回数、撚り糸の使い方などによって、変化のある織物ができる。 近世になってから、撚糸機の発達から急激に用いられ、主体である絹以外に、綿、毛、麻にも応用され、多くの種類を生んだ。とくに絹のクレープは、柔らかな肌ざわりと軽やかさのため、寝巻、肌着、ブラウスなどの生地に使われる。 [角山幸洋] [参照項目] | |しぼ立ちが細かいクレープ©Shogakukan"> フラット・クレープ 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
