Is there a difference in satin and silk... do they feel different?
I just bought silk blankets but want to buy satin sheets... will they feel different?
Didn't know about silk worms being boiled to death; yuck. Must be Modern Technology; used to be made from their web weavings--or is that just myth??
Anyway, satin can these days be horribly artificial, yes, heavy; a polyester feel; if high quality, still heavier than silk,but, yummy smooth.
Ck out a pillow case at a linen store and see what it is like.
Silks, esp. today mostly come from the East and India and are nubby, and/or semi-rough texture.
But, it doesn't have to be.
Ck out Organic Catalogs & Gaim & (forget name of catalogue) but specializes in undergarments for winter--could Google--and skiers prefer macrofiber, or silk, or silk & some blend: for Breathability. But, in sheets, could feel a bit like a t-shirt, or jersey feel. Flannel-like but softer; if you like that--go for it!
Ck out Pier 1: they have many imported silk "modern" items; you'll immed. see the difference in texture, color, etc.
Silk cannot be washed in the reg. manner; satin can or cannot be--depends on quality.
Silk MUST BE DRYCLEANED; so not eco-friendly in that sense.
For sheets, I would buy satin & a high quality:one that will hold up to washing, and one that won't have that (to me--yuck) polyester "feel."
Ck at Penny's; Bed & Bath; online specialty.
Silk Blankets: never heard of that.
Would breath nicely like wool; I have an Irish Wool Blanket I love.
Still probably needs drycleaning. Once at end of season; store properly--in plastic I would think--and even during season; protect from pantry moths: they love all fabric!!
Once you get them in your house, even w/specialty traps, hard to get rid of !!! and, come mainly from grains in kitchen.
You'll know them by their appearance; and any!!!, any grey/white sticky webbing on your clothes; esp. if soiled & waiting for the Drycleaner's. If find webbing wipe off immed. & have drycleaned.
