<\/span><\/h3>\nSo now let’s move on to the silk items.<\/p>\n
Silk is a fiber, it’s very different from satin.<\/p>\n
Silk is something that can be made into satin, but silk can also be made into a lot of different items.<\/p>\n
There are a lot of different types of silk out there. There are some with more of a texture to them. They have a little bit more of a bumpy rigid thing.<\/p>\n
Silk is a natural fiber that comes from the silk worm. They are the ones who produce it. They basically form a cocoon and we take the cocoon of the silk.<\/p>\n
Silk items can be not quite as shiny as the satin. The reason for that could be because silk is not in a satin weave.<\/p>\n
Silk could be in something like a plane weave, which is one to one, where the warp yarn and the weft yarn are just going to go one in one. Satin waves are three or more to one. That kind of silk could never be washed. It would absolutely destroy it.<\/p>\n
I have steamed this. You have to do it very lightly and you have to also stand away from it a little bit. It’s a really delicate balance with silk. It’s best to get it dry cleaned if you absolutely need to get it cleaned.<\/p>\n
But the biggest difference, like I said before, with the satin and the silk is that silk is a fiber. This can be made into satin. Satin cannot be made into silk. But satin can be made from different fibers.<\/p>\n
The other reason the satin might look shinier than the silk is because it’s polyester.<\/p>\n
Sometimes they will make the polyester fibers and threads a little bit shinier when they’re doing a satin weave to give it more of a silky look or more of a luxurious look.<\/p>\n
Because we often think when we see something shinier that it must be nicer and that must be more luxurious, which is often why they will make polyester a little bit shinier when they’re gonna put it in something to make it look like it’s higher end than it actually is.<\/p>\n
But silk is very delicate as a fiber. Polyester can withstand a lot more than silk can. Because polyester is made in a lab, silk is not.<\/p>\n
If you were to light silk on fire, this would actually self extinguish, but it will also disintegrate. Polyester, if you were to light that on fire, would melt.<\/p>\n
Polyester can be made to mimic anything. It can basically be made into any type of fabric that you want and that is why most things are made from polyester. You’re going to find it a lot of times. Unless you’re paying a very high premium price, you’re going to probably be getting polyester.<\/p>\n
The benefits to having a true silk pillowcase would be that a true silk pillowcase is going to be a little bit better for your skin.<\/p>\n
It is a natural fiber, it naturally breathes. Polyester does not breathe, so silk is going to be a little bit better for your skin.<\/p>\n
It’s also going to be a little bit better for whatever pillows you’re putting it on, because the pillow itself will have a little bit more breathing room. Polyester is going to trap anything in and out.<\/p>\n
The silk is just going to be a little bit nicer, probably feel a little bit better than a satin. At least i can tell the difference when I feel silk versus satin. There is a very big difference in the quality in my opinion.<\/p>\n
However, with that said, with a silk pillowcase, you have a lot more work when it comes to cleaning it. You have more care instructions.<\/p>\n
Those are the fundamental differences between silk and satin.<\/p>\n
Like I said, the most fundamental difference is silk can be satin, but satin can never be silk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
