Hi Smama, I've been meaning to ask you. Do you hand wash your silk twillys? Or how do you care for them? Including do you iron or steam them? Inquiring minds (or at least mine) want to know. :lol:
Hi ATB!
I hand wash all my silk scarves/twillies.
1. Soak in a slightly sudsy woolite/water combo in a small bowl.
2. I drip dry it.
3. When slightly damp, I dry iron on a silk setting.
4. Then I let it dry completely.

With rolled eged scarves, I do the above, and when it's time to iron, I just don't iron the rolled edges so that the rolled edges stay nice and rounded.
This whole process is very easy and super fast.
I've also read somewhere that a small drop of hair conditioner can be added to make the fabric softer, but I skip this part.
