Silk Filled Comforters

Silk fibers are the lightest of all natural fibers.  Silk Comforters made with silk are both lightweight and incredibly warm. Silk is a natural insulator and breathes very well, keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Silk fiber is lustrous, smooth, supple, lightweight, elastic, and strong. In fact, silk fiber is so resilient that it will stretch by up to  20% without damage. Silk resists mildews, molds, and rots that attack other fibers.

Silk Comforters are made with time-honored, traditional techniques.

• The cocoons are cleaned, steamed, and submerged in boiling water to soften the natural sericin adhesive that binds the thread together.
• One by one, the cocoons are stretched by hand, first over a curved bamboo frame and then between two workers, to form large sheets of silk.
• Thousands of cocoons of silk are layered together to form a lightweight batting that will not bunch or shift.
