"Silk Hat" |
Silk --
elegant, versatile and washable. In the past, owning a silk
garment meant not only the initial price of the garment but also
the cost of dry cleaning. All silk is washable. Silk is a
natural protein fiber, like human hair, taken from the cocoon of
the silkworm. The natural glue, sericin, secreted by silkworms
and not totally removed during manufacturing of the silk, is a
natural sizing which is brought out when washing in warm water.
Most silk fabrics can be hand washed. Technically, silk does not
shrink like other fibers. If the fabric is not tightly woven,
washing a silk with tighten up the weave.... thus, lighter
weights of silk (say a crepe de chine of 14 mm) can be improved
by washing as it will tighten up the weave. A tightly woven silk
will not "shrink" or will "shrink" a lot less.
Silk garments, however, can shrink if the fabric has not been
washed prior to garment construction. When washing silk, do not
wring but roll in a towel. Silk dries quickly but should not be
put in an automatic dryer unless the fabric is dried in an
automatic dryer prior to garment construction. A good shampoo
works well on silk. It will remove oil and revitalize your silk.
Do not use an alkaline shampoo or one which contains ingredients
such as wax, petroleum, or their derivatives, as these products
will leave a residue on your silk and may cause "oil" spots. If
static or clinging is a problem with your silks, a good hair
conditioner (see above cautions) may be used in the rinse water.
Silk may yellow and fade with the use of a high iron setting.
Press cloths and a steam iron are recommended. Silk is also
weakened by sunlight and perspiration. |
