Historical origin
"Xiangyun yarn" is commonly known as "white yarn", also known as yam. The dried product of Dioscorea cirrhosa is called "Dioscorea cirrhosa yarn", which has a history of 1000 years. It is an ancient handmade plant yarn-dyed fabric in China and a national intangible cultural heritage.
Because of its unique production technology and scarce quantity, this fabric is especially favored by fishermen in coastal areas because of its cool and pleasant, easy to wash and dry, dark color, dirt resistance, non-contact with skin, lightness and wrinkle resistance, softness and rich bone feeling. In the past, Xiangyun yarn was called soft gold, and only a large family in Zhumen could enjoy it.
In weaving, the warp yarn is woven into white blank yarn with geometric arrangement of small jacquard patterns, and then the mulberry is impregnated with the juice of Dioscorea cirrhosa, a unique plant in Guangdong, covered with river silt rich in various minerals, and dried. Because of the rustling sound when walking, it was originally called "Xiangyun yarn", and later generations called it "Xiangyun yarn".
