All About Silk
We love silk!
Silk is unparalleled by any
other fibre – natural or man made. This is due to silk’s unique
combination of characteristics:
-
Silk gives warmth without weight, but is
cool in summer;
-
Silk is very absorbent, like wool, so is
extremely comfortable to wear;
-
Silk is the strongest natural fibre, yet has
a delicate appearance;
-
The shape and structure of silk fibre create
its inherent lustrous sheen, and fine hand;
-
Silk’s affinity to dye creates, its rich
depth of colours;
-
Silk is easy to care for and retains its
natural beauty for years; and
-
Silk is an extremely versatile fibre, used
in a range of fabrics and weaves, making it suitable for garments to be
worn at any time of the day’
How appropriate that
for centuries silk has been known as the “the Queen of Textiles”. Despite
this royal reputation and all these wonderful attributes, silk is
affordable and it is sensational to sew with!
