All Silkdancer silks are one of a kind, hand-dyed by Shaula. As such, each piece will be as special
and unique as you are. All silk items are produced from grade-A silk, the dyes used are known for their
brilliance and light-fastness, and each product is steamed for 2-3 hours. Steaming the silk sets the dye,
increases the brilliance of the color, enhances the sheen and allows the item to be dry-cleaned if necessary.
Caring for your Silk ~ The general rule for silk care is to treat the silks as you would treat your
hair. No harsh detergents, no hot water, and hang dry in the shade (too much sun drying will
prematurely age your silk). The veils may be dry cleaned or spot washed with a cool damp washcloth if
you get food or lipstick on them. It is not recommended that the entire veil be submerged in water
because they are difficult to dry without producing more wrinkles in the silk. Veils may be freshened by
placing in dryer on low heat. Hot irons and high heat dryers are not recommended. Set iron to lowest
setting before ironing silk. Steam or a fine water mist sprayed lightly on the silk while ironing may be used
to get wrinkles out.
It is safe to gently pass a dryer sheet over or spray static guard on the silks to avoid clinging. Do not put
silk in the dryer with a dryer sheet, this may cause spotting. Padded hangers work best but remember the
veils would much prefer to dance with you than to hang in the closet. Because the silk is so light, it may
wrinkle easy. The best way to prevent this is to hang them long. Or you can save your Christmas
wrapping paper rolls and roll your veils around them like posters.
