| The majority of our scarves are 100% silk;
however, we also use a Silk/Velvet blend. The type of silk varies
from Crepe De Chine, Silk Organza (my current favorite), China
Silk to Silk Chiffon.
Regardless of the actual technique used to create the scarves,
each scarf goes through multiple washings to remove any dye residue,
fabric processing residue and to ensure that the color will not
bleed when used.
For those scarves created using the Batik or Rozome technique,
all wax has been removed from the scarf before it is made available
for purchase. Feeling these scarves you won't know that
they were once loaded with batik wax.
You have several options to choose from in caring for a scarf.
- They can be individually dry-cleaned if your prefer,
- or hand-washed in your home with a gentle detergent,
- or washed in the washing machine on gentle with a non-bleach
detergent.
If you choose the home care method, a liquid soap that contains
no washing additives is preferred. It is essential that the soap
product contain NO BLEACH because bleach can damage the silk.
Warning: When BLEACH
comes in contact with the scarf, discoloration and holes in the silk can result.
All scarves can be ironed using a cool (low temperature) iron
to ensure that the silk is not scorched. For those scarves
which are a blend of velvet and silk, they should be iron
on the back side (the non-plush side) of the fabric.
