The word crape is also used as an Anglicized spelling of Cr pe Cr pe pancake . ref http dictionary.reference.com browse crape Dictionary.com ref Silk crape is weaving woven of hard spinning textiles spun silk yarn in the gum or natural condition. There are two distinct varieties of the textile soft, Canton, or Oriental crape, and hard or crisped crape. Thin cr pe is called cr pe de Chine Chinese cr pe . The wavy appearance of Canton crape results from the peculiar manner in which the weft is prepared, the yarn from two bobbins being twisted together in the reverse way. The fabric when woven is smooth and even, having no crape appearance, but when the gum is subsequently extracted by boiling, it at once becomes soft, and the weft, losing its twist, gives the fabric the waved structure which constitutes its distinguishing feature. Canton crapes are used, either white or colored, for scarf scarves and shawls , bonnet trimmings, etc. The crisp and elastic structure of hard crape is not produced either in the spinning or in the weaving, but is due to processes through which the gauze passes after it is woven. In 1911, the details of these processes were known to only a few manufacturers, who so jealously guarded their secrets that, in some cases, the different stages in the manufacture were conducted in towns far removed from each other.
