about dyed silk:
A design is drawn on the silk with a petroleum based resist. When this resist penetrates through
to both sides of the fabric, it forms a barrier. When the resist is dry, dyes can be applied and
contained within the separate areas of a pattern or drawing, much like coloring between the lines
in a coloring book. After the design is complete and the fabric is dried the color needs to be
heat set through a steaming process. The silk is carefully folded and wrapped in several layers
of paper and placed in a stock pot or larger commercial steaming container for 3 to 4 hours. The
silk is then dry cleaned to remove all of the resist as the petroleum would cause the silk to
break down. Finally, the silk can be rinsed in water with a few drops of vinegar to help further
clean any residue on surface of fabric.
Silk looks beautiful when light is allowed to filter through it and some like to display it this way.
Like any fabric though, light will fade the color and it is best to display it behind conservation
glass with a UV ban. A more expensive museum glass may also be used.
