The Alchemy of
Time and Mud
Deep in the Pearl River Delta, a 500-year-old secret lives on. Known as "Soft Gold," Xiangyunsha (Mud Silk) represents the pinnacle of ancient material science—a textile that breathes, ages, and gains soul with every wear.
The Yam
We source wild yams, rich in tannin, to create a deep organic bath. This isn't dyeing; it's a structural transformation of the silk proteins.
The Mud
Iron-rich river mud reacts with the yam juice, creating a jet-black iron-tannin coating on one side, while the reverse remains earthy brown.
The Sun
Without the intense subtropical sun, the alchemy is incomplete. Each meter must be sun-cured 18 times to achieve its signature luster.
3 Washes
Pure water from the delta rinses away impurities, preparing the silk for its transformation.
9 Boils
The silk is simmered in secret plant-based recipes, infusing the fibers with strength and resilience.
18 Dries
Laid flat on the grass, the silk absorbs the energy of the earth and the heat of the sky until it becomes "living gold."
Explore the 500-year-old "3-9-18" heritage process of Xiangyunsha. From river mud to "Soft Gold," discover how CloudGauze transforms pure mulberry silk into a living fossil of sustainable luxury.
