Silk vs. Satin: Understanding Scarf Materials

When shopping for scarves, you'll often see "silk" and "satin" used interchangeably. But they're not the same!

What is Silk?

Silk is a natural protein fiber produced by silkworms.

What is Mulberry Silk?

Mulberry silk is the highest quality silk available:

• Longest fibers (up to 1,500 meters per cocoon)
• Uniform texture
• Exceptional softness
• Hypoallergenic

All Wenzi Studio scarves use 100% mulberry silk.

What is Satin?

Satin is NOT a material—it's a weave technique. This is the key confusion!

Key Differences

Silk: Natural fiber (what it's made of)

Satin: Weave pattern (how it's made)

How to Identify Real Silk

The Burn Test

Real Silk: Burns slowly, smells like burning hair

Synthetic: Melts and drips, smells like plastic

Synthetic: Slippery smooth, stays cool
