Silk is a natural fibre which bed
bugs cannot live in. Dust Mites, mould and funguses all find silk an inhospitable
environment, so it’s great for asthma and allergy sufferers. |
|
Ever wondered why silk is used
for thermal underwear, and as loose clothing in the tropics? Silk is a breathable
and all climate fibre because it allows our body heat to dissipate, regulating our
natural body temperature and thereby reducing night sweats and hot flushes often
associated with conventional bedding materials. Try the silk hold-ups to experience
hosiery like no other. You won’t even know you’re wearing them. |
|
Silk is smooth and has a sheen
which is said to have an anti-ageing effect on the skin, minimising sleep lines
and diminishing facial wrinkles. |
|
Silk is 100% natural, hypoallergenic,
ideal for people with allergies and breathing difficulties. It is also naturally
fire retardant. |
|
Silk bedding provides a smooth,
friction free surface which is kind to sensitive skin. By dissipating the heat,
it also reduces the irritation caused by overheated skin. |
|
Silk is a soft and light fibre
creating less pressure on joints, and enables easier movement with less resistance
on the bed sheets. It is ideal for people suffering from Osteoarthritis, Shingles
or chronic aches and pains. |
|
Its smoothness allows our hair
to move freely eliminating “bed head” thereby reducing the number of split ends,
and hair loss! |
|
Silk is robust, resists soiling
and dries quickly. Fragments of silk have been uncovered in archaeological digs
from the 4th century BC. If taken care
of, which is not as difficult as
you may assume, you can be buying a beautiful heirloom. |
|
The lustre and sheen of pure silk
cannot be replicated in any other fibre. Take a look at the wonderful glow from
the two-tone silk dressing gowns, or the sheen from the hand-dyed silk scarves.
On a bed, cushion, or table top, silk drapes and shines as no other fabric can –
the colour pure and vibrant. |
|
Silk is a lightweight but an immensely strong fabric.
If you apply some simple rules, your silk items will perform time after time.
Silk sheets, pillowcases
and duvet covers can be washed on a cold wash, hand, wool or silk cycle using a
mild detergent only, similar to the one we offer for sale.
Do not tumble dry and avoid drying in direct sunlight as this can cause fading.
Air drying is recommended, but it won’t
take long as silk dries very quickly! As with their cotton or wool counterparts,
we recommend that silk blankets, bedspreads, duvets and pillows are dry cleaned. |
