Silk is a precious, refined fabric that adds elegance and sophistication to your outfits. Our silk twill scarves and twillies, true hand-drawn works of art, deserve special attention to keep their shine and softness over time.
But how do you wash a silk scarf without damaging it? What’s the best way to preserve the natural softness and brilliance of silk twill? Here are our practical tips to care for your accessories and prolong their beauty, wash after wash.
Why Silk Twill Requires Special Care
Silk twill is an exceptional fabric, instantly recognisable by its diagonal weave, which gives it a unique texture — soft, supple, and durable. At Creature Marseille, we work with renowned Italian ateliers to provide scarves and twillies of impeccable quality.
Its noble nature requires careful handling. With the right care, your accessories will maintain their brightness, vibrant colours, and shape for many years. To learn more about the quality of our fabrics, discover why silk twill 14 is so special.
Hand Washing: The Best Method for Silk
Avoid machine washing, even on a delicate cycle, as it can permanently damage silk fibres. Hand washing is the safest way to preserve your scarf or twilly.
Follow these steps:
-
Fill a basin with cold or lukewarm water (maximum 30°C / 85°F).
-
Add a mild detergent specially formulated for silk or a neutral pH soap.
-
Gently immerse your scarf or twilly and swirl softly for 3–5 minutes.
-
Never rub or scrub the fabric to avoid damaging the fibres.
-
Rinse thoroughly in cold water until all traces of soap are gone.
Drying: Protect the Shape and Texture
After washing, handle your silk with care:
-
Never wring your scarf or twilly.
-
Place it between two clean towels and gently press to remove excess water.
-
Lay flat on a clean surface, away from direct sunlight or heat sources such as radiators.
Ironing: Restore a Smooth Finish
To bring your silk accessory back to a flawless look:
-
Always iron on the reverse side to protect its natural shine.
-
Set your iron to a low temperature (silk mode).
-
Place a thin cloth between the iron and your scarf or twilly.
-
Iron gently without pressing too hard.
Storing Silk: Simple Steps for Long-Lasting Beauty
Proper storage helps keep your silk accessories in perfect condition:
-
Store flat, in a box or the cotton pouch provided with your accessory.
-
Avoid hanging, as this may stretch or deform the fabric.
-
Keep in a cool, dry, and dark place to prevent fading or mildew.
