How to Check Silk Quality Before Buying 01 Check the Silk Weave Examine the weave for uniformity and fine detailing, as high-quality silk has a smooth and even texture. 02 Perform the Burn Test Burn a small thread; pure silk smells like burnt hair and leaves a crisp ash, while synthetic silk melts. 03 Feel the Fabric Genuine silk feels soft yet crisp, with a natural warmth that adjusts to your body temperature. 04 Look for the Luster Pure silk has a subtle two- tone shine that changes under light, unlike synthetic silk’s uniform gloss. 05 Test for Wrinkles Scrunch the fabric in your hand; real silk wrinkles slightly, while fake silk remains stiff or springs back. www.mahalekshmisilks.com
