How to distinguish natural silk from artificial?

We believe that this part of the article is very important, as many people ask this question.

• If you apply natural silk to your cheek, you will feel a feeling of warmth and smoothness, not roughness. By touching the front and back sides of the fabric, you can feel that: for real silk, these two sides are soft, while for synthetic silk, the wrong side is rough. Natural silk is cool at first, and then warms up from the skin.
• It is always worth looking at what is written about the composition of the fabric, on the label. It should have the inscription "100% natural silk".
• Silk "Armani" - is not silk, it is an ordinary synthetic with a beautiful name, be careful!
• Natural silk does not burn, it smolders, leaving lumps with the smell of a burnt feather, because. it is a natural material. With the addition of synthetics, the fabric burns and leaves plastic lumps that cannot or are difficult to crush with your fingers. And it will also have a strong synthetic smell of plastic.
• In natural silk, a piece of fabric is often attached for verification. Synthetics do not do this, for obvious reasons.
• Natural silk has a brighter luster than artificial silk.
• Natural silk does not creak when crushed
• Natural silk cannot be cheap, because it is obtained in a very difficult way.
• If you wrinkle a synthetic fabric for 10 seconds, then it will either not wrinkle or wrinkle with clear creases, while natural silk will wrinkle with soft creases.

Does natural silk become static?
Natural silk can become statically charged, but it does so much less than synthetic fabrics.

Why:

• Natural origin: Silk is a protein fiber produced by silkworms. It absorbs moisture well, which makes it less prone to accumulating static electricity, especially in humid environments.
• Environmental influence: In dry air (for example, during winter in heated indoor spaces), even natural silk can develop some static, especially when it rubs against other fabrics.
• Contact with other materials: If silk comes into contact with highly static-prone fabrics (like polyester or nylon), it can also become charged.

How to reduce static in silk:

• Use a humidifier to keep the air moist.
• Add anti-static spray or fabric softener when washing or ironing.
• Wear silk garments with cotton underwear to reduce friction with synthetic materials.

So yes, static buildup is possible, but overall, silk is one of the least static-prone fabrics.
