Pure Silk woven into a satin-crepe fabric creates the luxurious look and feel of these silk sheet sets. The fabric has a classic smooth silk satin face most often recognized for its incredible smoothness and natural sheen while the back of fabric is a softly textured silk crepe. A gentle sand washing process further enhances the incredible softness.
The crepe silk yarn is twisted tightly which gives the fabrics a smoother hand. These sheets are woven using a heavy 19 momme weight silk fabric, are seamless and finished with 4" decorative hem. The pillowcase has a 7" french envelope to ensure the proper hold of your pillow. The fitted sheet has deep pockets and reinforced elastic throughout to fit up to 17" mattresses. Available colors: Blush, Pearl Grey, Celadon, Camel and Bronze. Sheet sets include one fitted sheet, one flat sheet and two pillowcases.
With a small amount of special care your silk bedding can offer years of pleasure. Please refer to the individual product care label and the following for additional suggestions:
Hand Wash: All Empress Silk duvet covers, sheets, pillow cases and apparel are washable. The preferred method is hand laundered in lukewarm water with pH neutral soap using a gentle hand movement.
We do not recommend Woolite for silk. We suggest Charlie's Soap (at bottom of this page) or a similar pH netural, silk friendly soap.
Do not soak too long. Rinse in cool water and roll silk in a towel to remove excess water. Never wring water from silk.
Machine Wash: Larger items can be machine washed. Wash in cold water with pH neutral soap, no bleach, on a gentle cycle. Wash silk separate from other items and do not overload washer to avoid any unnecessary wear to the fabric. Silk dries quickly. Tumble dry on very low heat for a short time only if necessary.
Ironing: Silk has a resistance to creasing or wrinkling, most will smooth out naturally. If ironing should become necessary, press the damp silk on the reverse side with an iron set on low. Silk charmeuse (satin) requires a cool iron to bring back sheen.
Note: These are general care guidelines for silk. Please refer to specific care instructions on each label.
