If you’re considering buying silk products, it’s important to know that silk comes in different types. Today, let’s talk about two popular varieties – twill silk and satin, and what makes them unique.
Twill is a silk with a diagonal weave, which gives the fabric strength and softness. Its surface has a slight matte finish with a soft sheen, and the texture is denser. Thanks to this weave, twill silk holds its shape well, doesn’t slip, and is resistant to wear. This makes it perfect for creating elegant scarves, shawls, and other accessories that you’ll wear daily.
Crepe Satin, on the other hand, has a smooth, glossy front and a soft reverse side. Its smooth and delicate surface makes satin ideal for luxurious evening garments, dresses, and accessories like pillowcases and sleep masks, where beauty and comfort are equally important.
What to choose?
- If you’re looking for silk for everyday wear that is durable and holds its shape, go for twill.
- If you need a fabric for special occasions that emphasizes elegance and softness, choose satin.
Whichever you choose, both types of silk will add sophistication and elegance to your look.
