Silk Fabric Buyer’s Guide
Silk is a fabric that can be used to create beautiful projects, but it is also delicate and requires special care. There are a number of factors which should be considered when choosing a silk fabric for a project.
The first factor to consider is how the fabric needs to be cared for. For garments that will be used regularly, it is better to find a fabric which is machine washable. Some of the fabrics in this guide can be machine washed in cold water, while others must be hand washed or dry cleaned, which means that they are more suitable for home decor projects or accent pieces such as scarves which don’t need to be washed very often.
Another factor that should be considered when selecting a silk fabric for your project is what type of fabric you want. The silks in this buying guide come in a variety of prints, as well as solid colors. Some are special types of handwoven silk, such as Dupioni. These specialized silks are more expensive, but also give a unique look to any project. The silks in this guide are also available in a range of finishes – some are matte, while others are shiny.
A third factor to consider when selecting a silk fabric is how much you need to complete your project. Most of the fabrics in this buying guide are available by the yard, so you can order exactly as much as you need for your project. Those not available by the yard are available in a number of different sizes, so that you can get either a large or small piece of fabric. This buying guide will help you find the perfect silk fabric for any project you have in mind.
