Sample policy and postage →Description
This lightweight silk habotai features a smooth satin finish and a soft handle making it ideal for linings, scarves, evening/formal wear and popular for silk painting. This silk is often referred to as “Jap silk” or "China silk".
We recommend dry clean only for this fabric to preserve its original quality. We have provided detailed care instructions to hand wash, but keep in mind hand washing may change the handle of the fabric over time.
If hand feel and colour matching is important then please order a sample.

- Clean
- We recommend dry cleaning to keep its original quality. Habotai will survive a careful hand wash in cool water with a pH-neutral, enzyme-free wash suitable for silk. Don't rub or wring, and never use biological detergent, bleach or fabric softener. Washing can change the sheen and handle and move the colour, so test a cutting first.
- Press
- Silk setting (two dots, 150°C max) on the reverse, through a pressing cloth.
- Good to know
- Deep colours can bleed when damp: test with a damp white cloth first. Dry and store out of direct sun.
