The days of hand rolled scarf hems may be numbered. The number of workers that have the skill and willingness to hand hem thousands of scarves is decreasing (They are getting older, and the young folks in China don't want to do it). And these days scarves can be hemmed faster and cleaner with machines.
The Silk Charmeuse is our Porsche of silks! A muted crepe on the back side and shimmery lustrous satin on the top side. It is heavier and more substantial than our plain Satin or Crepe de Chine, has a firm, soft, supple hand and a luxuriously heavy drape. Dyes and paints will show an intensity of color and richness on this fiber. This fabric traditionally considered to be the best of the best, unless you get into the velvets...
We recommend, especially if you are re-selling, to pre-wash in Hot water and Synthrapol or our Professional Textile Detergent, all silk before dyeing or painting to remove any leftover residue from the silk worms (Seracin) or finger prints and other stuff that can cause the fabric to dye unevenly. Our product Milsoft is excellent for restoring the soft hand to silk after dyeing.

Luxurious wonderful quality. The best I've used. For years I've searched for King sized Charmuese pillow cases that satisfy. These more than met my expectations. I'll be Ombre dying your Silk Charmuese scarves this Fall in my class at the Botanic Gardens and to give as gifts. Thanks for the best selection anywhere.

I Dyed several as Christmas Gifts. They have held up well. I have washed mine with the regular laundry the fabric tightens up over time. They become soft as a cloud and I always seem to have one around my neck. I like the 14 x 72 size best!

I have several in all my favorite colors. The colors have an intensity seldom seen. I wash them in the washer and dryer with downy and they come out soft as a cloud and looking sand washed. People want to touch them just to feel the texture then fall in love with them.

I think the machine hemmed is fine and it held up better than the hand hemmed. How about matching the sizes to your hand hemmed if you want to encourage us to switch!
