As a proponent of eco-conscious practices, I craft my textile and wearable art collections exclusively from pure silk, utilizing professional dyes. Before painting the scarves, I meticulously conduct a burning test to verify the authenticity of the silk, ensuring it hasn't been blended with other fibres such as rayon, nylon, Tencel, or any combination thereof, with or without silk. This method remains paramount in guaranteeing its genuineness.

Additionally, I diligently prewash the silk before applying dyes, aiming to both pre-shrink the fabric and eliminate any potential grease marks. The thickness of the silk is assessed using the Momme scale, where a higher Momme value indicates a thicker silk.
