unreferenced date June 2010 The process of weighting silk fabric is the addition of metallic salts during processing for the purpose of increasing the weight of the finished goods. Unlike most fabric yard goods which are sold by the yard or metre , silk is sold to the wholesaler by weight. The first step in processing the silk fiber is degumming the fibre, the gum being a byproduct of the production of the silk fibre by the worm. Approximately one fifth of the weight of the silk fibre is lost in the degumming process, and manufacturers felt they had the right to replace this lost weight with a filler of some sort. Silk has an affinity for several metallic salts, the most common of which being iron, lead, and tin. It was discovered to be an easy process to return this weight lost in the degumming process by soaking the fibre in a bath of these metallic salts. This process was called weighting, and by increasing the weight of the raw silk, the merchant increased his profit. Weighting with some metallic salts did improve the drapeability of the fibre however greedy merchants soon began adding more weight than the lost one fifth sometimes the final weight was increased tenfold. While silk is a strong and durable fibre, the weighting process is highly damaging to the finished goods. If the garment is worn, it wears out quickly and is highly susceptible to perspiration, salt, and tears if stored away it becomes brittle and breaks. The method of storage cold dark, etc., has no influence ... the silk fibres have disintegrated while the cotton and wool fibres remain in good condition, even ..., but is still used to some extent.
