The Qualities of Silk

Besides its luxurious softness and lustrous beauty, there are additional benefits to silk that have
helped it to earn its reputation as the "Queen of fabrics".
 
•  Silk is the most hypoallergenic fabric.  The natural protein structure of silk
   makes it the fabric to which few if any people are allergic.

•  Silk is an all-climate fabric.  Silk is warm and cozy in the winter and
   comfortably cool in the summer because of its natural temperature regulating
   properties.
•  Silk is highly absorbent. Silk can absorb up to 30 percent of its weight in
   moisture without feeling damp. It will absorb perspiration while letting your skin
   breathe and after washing it dries quickly.
•  Silk is the strongest natural fiber. Surprisingly, silk easily competes with steel
   yarn in tensile strength.
