The silk is sand washed which produces a smoother and softer silk yarn, this is a premium method of manufacturing and is only used in the very best silk factories. the long strands of mulberry are of a superior nature to other silks as the bedding, duvet covers and silk fillings are made from one complete strand of silk, this helps keep consistency and quality to a premium.

The lightness of the silk duvet is amazing, ideal for anyone who has skin complaints that need as little contact with the bedding as possible. As discussed earlier, silk enhances the possibilities that the Chinese attribute to the silk when worn next to the skin. Slowing down the signs of aging of the face and keeps hair softer and smoother.

Maybe this is because there is less friction between silk and the face and hair than is the case with other fabrics.
