Benefits of using silk in your sleep:
This natural fiber is an insulator. When temperatures are high, it releases extra heat and when it’s cold, keeps the heat in.
Silk absorb less moisture like sweat which means less frequency of washing. Unlike cellulose materials like cotton, when silks are used as pillowcase, it doesn’t absorb natural oils that can cause the skin to be dry and dull.
When silk textiles are in contact with hair it creates less friction - making it desirable for frizzy hair and, coily hair type and chemically-treated hair that are prone to split ends.
All natural dyes react and bind differently on various types natural fibers when applied. Every single piece is also hand made by Lourdes. For these reasons, finished products always vary and may not look exactly like the photos. Expect some slight uneven saturation at some spot on the textile. The unique markings on every single piece amplifies its unique beauty making it one-of-a-kind.
Care Instructions: Spot cleaning only. A naturally dyed textile requires special care and minimal washing to make it last over time. Think of how you would care for your other precious possession. Same degree of care is need for your new silk pillowcase. If the entire textile needs to be washed, hand wash in cool water with neutral pH soap. Hang to dry and in shade.
