NOTE : This Mud Silk is made with a silk fabric base of nature wild Tussah silk and Mulberry silk.
About Tussah Silk:
Quite different than mulberry silk, tussah silk is considered much more rough, dull, light resistant and durable. It also has good corrosion resistance, moisture absorption, beathability.
Every tussah silk will naturely have rough fiber knots here and there.🍃

WASHING GUIDE ✨ for mud silk
⚬ Dry clean is best and highly recommended
⚬ Hand Wash with silk detergent or hair shampoo in luke water less than 5 minutes
⚬ No soap, no bleach, no tumble dry
⚬ Though I wash my mud silk clothing in washing machine (they are fine) I don't suggest you do same
⚬ Inevitable color fading during washing due to nature plant dye without chemical treatment finishing
