What is silk twill?

LUMENA MAISON silk scarves are made from the finest quality 100% silk twill fabric known for its distinctive diagonal ribbed texture, durability, and luxury symbolism.


Silk twill is primarily made from silk fibers, which are derived from the cocoons of silkworms.
It's a natural protein fiber known for its smoothness, sheen, and luxurious feel.

Silk twill is renowned for its durability, resistance to wrinkles, and ability to drape elegantly. The diagonal weave gives it a subtle, textured appearance and a unique luster.
It's heavier than some other silk weaves, making it suitable for various types of clothing and accessories.
 
Like other silk fabrics, silk twill requires delicate care. It's advisable to hand wash
or use a gentle cycle with mild detergent when laundering.
 
Avoid high temperatures and harsh chemicals that can damage the silk fibers or affect the fabric's sheen.
Silk twill can come in various weights, from lighter versions suitable for summer clothing to heavier options for more structured garments or accessories.

Silk twill is versatile in terms of color vibrancy and the ability to hold intricate designs. It takes dyes well, resulting in vivid and rich colors.

Designs, patterns, and prints stand out beautifully on this fabric due to its smooth surface and distinct weave.

Due to its luxurious nature and the intricate manufacturing process involving high-quality silk, silk twill tends to be more expensive compared to some other fabrics.
