The Art of Keeping Silk: A Care Guide for the Thoughtful Wearer

The Art of Keeping Silk: A Care Guide for the Thoughtful Wearer

At ASYII, we believe true luxury is intimacy within reach — and that means designing pieces that stay with you, season after season. Each scarf is crafted from carefully selected natural fibres, chosen for their softness, breathability, and quiet elegance. With a little mindful care, they will continue to feel as gentle against your skin as they did on day one.

 

 

Mulberry Silk (100% Silk)

Pure, breathable, and naturally hypoallergenic

Our 100% mulberry silk is the heart of ASYII. Light as air and soft as a second skin, it is naturally thermoregulating — keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter. Its smooth surface is also gentle on hair and skin, reducing friction and preventing creases.

How to care:

  • Hand wash in cool water using a mild, silk-specific detergent

  • Gently press water through the fabric — do not rub, wring, or twist

  • Rinse thoroughly in cool water

  • Roll in a clean towel to remove excess moisture, then lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight

  • Iron on the reverse side at a low temperature, or steam gently

Pro Tip: Silk is a protein fibre — avoid bleach, enzyme-based detergents, and fabric softeners, which can damage the delicate structure.

Silk-Cotton Satin

The breathability of cotton, the sheen of silk

Our silk-cotton satin combines the lightness of cotton with the luminous finish of silk. The result is a fabric that feels airy against the skin while holding colour beautifully — perfect for scarves with hand-rolled hems and intricate prints.

How to care:

  • Hand wash in cool water with a gentle detergent

  • Rinse well and press out excess water gently (do not twist)

  • Lay flat to dry in the shade

  • Iron on a low setting on the reverse side

Pro Tip: The cotton content gives this fabric a slightly more relaxed drape — embrace it. Avoid wringing to keep the natural lustre of the satin finish intact.

Silk-Wool Blend

Lightweight warmth, static-free comfort

Our signature silk-wool blend brings together the best of both fibres: the insulating warmth of wool and the smooth, skin-loving softness of silk. The result is a scarf that offers warmth without bulk, and stays static-free all day — ideal for layering across seasons.

How to care:

  • Dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the drape and texture

  • If hand washing, use cool water and a gentle detergent for delicate wools

  • Squeeze gently (do not twist), then lay flat to dry away from heat or sunlight

  • Steam lightly to remove creases — avoid direct ironing on the wool content

Pro Tip: Store folded, not hung — the wool content can stretch if left hanging. A cedar block in your drawer will help keep it fresh.

Silk Scrunchies (100% Mulberry Silk)

Gentle on hair, kind to your morning routine

Our silk scrunchies are designed to be kind to your hair — reducing friction, preventing breakage, and minimising frizz. They are the daily luxury that makes a quiet difference.

How to care:

  • Hand wash in cool water with a silk-friendly detergent

  • Press out excess water gently, then lay flat to dry

  • Avoid twisting or soaking for extended periods

Pro Tip: Your silk scrunchie is at its best when worn on dry or lightly styled hair — and it works beautifully as a subtle accessory on your wrist when not in use.

A Few Extra Tips for All Silk Pieces

  • Always check the care label — each fabric has its own personality, and we've designed our labels to guide you.

  • Skip fabric softeners — they can coat silk fibres, reducing their natural sheen and breathability.

  • Store with care — fold your scarves neatly and keep them in a drawer or on a shelf, away from direct sunlight. Hanging can stretch the fabric over time.

  • Address stains gently — for oil-based stains, a small amount of gentle dish soap can work wonders. Always spot-test first.

 

 

At ASYII, we create pieces meant to be kept — not consumed. With a little care, your scarf will continue to tell your story, season after season.
