Silk fabric is widely known for its beauty. This natural fabric is made from mulberry silkworms and their cocoons. Silk is also a generalised term for any fabric constructed using silk yarns or fibres.
Silk is renowned for its lustrous appearance, fine quality, beautiful drape, and soft handle. It is a highly priced fabric, mainly due to the time-consuming and delicate process of turning the thread into yarn. Silk is often thought to be delicate, but on the contrary, it is the strongest material fibre.
Making printed silk fabric is a technical process that involves trained specialists. Depending on the composition of the material, we use reactive and pigment printing techniques. These methods ensure that the colour will stay with the fabric throughout years of use. Most importantly, the process doesn't change the original handle of the material. This is important for any fabric, but especially silk, as the authentic texture and feel of this material is so divine. The resulting print will still be bold and as gorgeous as the material itself.
When you design and print on silk, we can produce your fabric quickly. As the process for silk fabrics is slightly more involved than other materials, we estimate our production time at about 3-4 days, which is still quite quick! With our speedy delivery options, you could have your silk in your hands in less than a week.
Silk is used for a variety of purposes, from handmade items by hobbyists to materials across a variety of industries. Especially when it comes to personal projects, having your own artistic print on silk can add a whole extra dimension to the final look. Silk's uses include:
Besides its opulence and undeniable beauty, silk has a lot of advantages over many other natural and synthetic fabrics. Due to its natural protein structure, silk is the most hypoallergenic of all fabrics. It's great for those with sensitive immune systems or seasonal allergy sufferers.
Silk is also a treat for the skin as the smooth texture glides over the surface of the skin without tugging or causing irritation. When used for bedding and pillowcases, it can keep your hair and skin looking its best. It will also help you avoid developing sleep wrinkles.
This is moisture-wicking fabric can absorb up to 30% of its own weight without making the wearer feel damp and uncomfortable. As it's also temperature-regulating, it will feel cool and breathable when it's warm outside but will help you retain heat when it's cold.
Silk blends seamlessly with other textiles and takes colour very well, which is why it's such a joy to print on silk. Sewers and dressmakers enjoy creating with custom-printed silk as it is easy to work with.
