What is smooth Thai silk?
Smooth Thai silk has a shiny, satin-like finish. It's suitable for all purposes, particularly clothing and interior decorating. The “standard” width is about 37 inches/94 centimeters and it's available in 2-ply and sometimes 4-ply. All colors and designs are available. For orders of bolts 30 yards or more widths of 40 inches and 48 inches are also available. |
What's the difference between machine woven and hand woven Thai silk?
Every piece of hand woven Thai silk is a timeless, unique work of art from the hands of a rural Thai woman. Since it is artwork produced by a human, it forever carries an imprint of the character, thoughts, emotions, feelings, spirit and life of the weaver at the time it was being created. It's imperfections are the heart of its beauty and the proof of its human creator. Machine woven silk is a monotonously “perfect", mechanical, mass-produced, heartless, industrial cloth produced to ISO standards. |
What is the best way to care for Thai silk?
Dry cleaning is the best way to keep Thai silk in good condition and maintain its original beauty, luster, and texture. You can also hand wash it in lukewarm water using the mildest soap. Add a table spoonful of clear white vinegar added to the final rinse. Never wring your Thai silk! Dry it in the shade, preferably where there's a mild breeze, and be sure it's well supported. Iron Thai silk on the inside of the garment while it is still slightly damp. If already dry, apply a damp cloth on the outside and iron through the cloth. Properly cared for Thai silk can easily last a century and be passed on to your children and grandchildren. |
