Adlai silk, which is produced by Uygur people and is the most popular local product for clothing by Uygur women, is mainly produced in Hotan City, Kashgar City, Shache county and other places. "Adeles" means "tie dye". This kind of silk adopts the ancient warp binding and dyeing process in China. According to the requirements of the pattern, it is tied on the warp, dyed in layers, warped and woven. In the process of dyeing, the pattern has naturally formed color halo due to the infiltration of dye solution, which is uneven and scattered. It not only increases the sense of hierarchy and color transition surface of the pattern, but also forms the characteristics of Adelaide silk pattern full of changes. Uighur women especially like this kind of silk material and give it the nickname "yubofuneng kanatiguli", which means "flower of cuckoo wings", implying that it can bring people the breath of spring.

Production method of Adlay silk

Experienced craftsmen make ink drafts on the paintings made of strands of silk thread: Padan wood, wood pattern flower, comb flower, etc. after the painting is finished, it is tied by the tying man.

② Dyeing: according to the number of layers and times of colors, dyes are natural plants and minerals, and the final effect of fancy silk depends on the wetting of the pattern outline by the dye solution in the dyeing process. The naturally formed color halo is like the effect of wiping with a dry pen. All kinds of colors present the characteristics of scattered, scattered and not disordered, which not only increases the sense of hierarchy of the pattern and the transition surface of colors, but also forms the color halo The patterns are full of changing features. This is the essence of Adlay silk. The origin of "Adlay" tie dyeing is because "tie dyeing" is the key. After dyeing, it's time to "straighten the warp", that is, peel off all the knots, and then dry the silk. When all this work is done, it's time to weave silk. On the wooden loom, with the shuttle shuttling back and forth countless times, Adlay silk was finished.
