Dry cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the delicate, hand-loomed weave and original texture of these textiles. While hand washing is possible, it will alter the fabric’s weave and finish. If hand-washing is necessary, use cool water and a mild, pH-neutral laundry soap. Hang to dry. For a smooth finish, iron on medium heat.  Pro Tip: Do not spritz with water or use water steaming before testing on a small piece of fabric first. Water can alter the weave on some of our custom hand-loomed silks.
