How do I care for my handwoven ikat fabrics?
Cottons may be machine washed separately in cold water and machine dried (medium heat setting). After several washings you may find ironing unnecessary; remove clothing when still damp and finger press edges. Silk handwovens should be handwashed in a mild soap such as Orvis and tepid water. Do not wring silk. Hang dry and iron when still damp. a method I learned in Thailand involved taking the damp silk (after it has been hung for a while to get off most of the water), rolling it in a towel, putting it into a clean plastic bag in the refrigerator for a couple of hours—then ironing is a breeze!
