Hi, Can anyone tell me what happens to silk taffeta when it is washed in soap and water? I have machine washed and dried a lot of silk dupioni, and am very pleased with the fabric that results (it shrinks a lot, but the resulting fabric is thus denser and more closely-woven; the colors and shine don't seem to be hurt by the process, but it is softer) and of course I wash silk crepe blouses all the time. And I will probably just run the experiment on some taffeta to find out for myself; but I would be grateful for information on what to expect if anyone has experince to share. Does it lose all crispness?
Thanks! Lauren [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.timetraveltextiles.com _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
