Dry: Roll the scarf in clean and soft towel and press delicately for drying do NOT wring out water as this will damage the fibres of the fabric. Hang it on hanger and dry place away from direct sunlight.

Iron: Be careful and make sure keep temperature at silk setting and always put another piece of fabric between scarf and iron as this is a extremely gentle fabric you are dealing with

The best advice of care if you are unsure, would be to take your scarf to the dry cleaners.

STORE

Always store your silk or satin scarf in a space or container that is clean and dry, it is important to keep it away from any storage areas that are damp.

Silk is a natural, luxury fabric and like all things natural they must be treated with care and respect to ensure longevity. Probably, the best way to view silk is as if it were your skin, and looking after it in the gentle way you would for yourself.

This may seem a strange analogy, however silk is made naturally by silk worms, and offers much protection to the skin in a gentle way. Silk Scarves can protect the skin from the weather as well as allergy caused by reaction to synthetics and more. The weaving process builds strength into the silk, which unless respected will cause damage. However, if you follow the guidance above your silk scarf will serve you well for many years.
