CANTON CREPE

DISP. 9—­Can also be made with Canton silk for filling and may be called Canton crepe.  As Canton silk is much cheaper than Japan, the manufacturer can use 4-thread Canton instead of 3-thread Japan for filling at a little difference in cost, thus the cloth will be heavier, but Canton silk is not as even and clean as Japan.
