Sericulture, or the production of silk and rearing of silkworms, is said to have started in China as early as the stone age. Long associated with luxury, it takes a significant amount of time, skill, and resources to weave raw silk into a textile. Beware of silk-blend products which have other (often synthetic) materials woven in with the silk fibres to reduce the price but maintain the texture of the material. Synthetic fibres can affect many of the properties that make a silk pillowcase worthwhile to begin with!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s also worth noting that mulberry silkworms are domesticated and silk from wild silkworms do exist. This type of silk is harvested from wild breeds of silkworms who have completed the metamorphosis process, leaving behind their cocoons. Cultivating wild silk commonly results in broken strands, which results in an inconsistent weave and difficulty to take on dye. Mulberry silkworm silk is harvested in one continuous strand in a controlled environment, which produces a better quality and more consistent end product that can evenly take on fabric dyes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Toxic-free dyes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If there is any material you\u2019d want to be free of harmful dyes, it\u2019s the one that you place closest to your face each night. Our silk pillows come in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/en-ca\/silk-pillowcase\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">six different colours<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, each OEKO-TEX\u00ae Certified to be free of toxic chemicals so you can rest easy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>100% silk for 100% of the benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It may be tempting to opt for the budget friendlier option of \u201csilky satin\u201d or \u201csilk touch\u201d products when choosing new bedding or even clothing, however it\u2019s important to know the difference between silk and satin. Satin refers to the type of fabric weave rather than the material to produce a glossy and sleek look and feeling. Satin can be made of silk, though more commonly nowadays it is made of synthetic fibres such as polyester, rayon, nylon, acetate, and cotton. Without 100% silk fabric, you simply don\u2019t get 100% of the benefits that silk offers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A common myth is that silk is difficult to care for, making synthetic satin a better choice. While we do recommend hand washing your silk pillowcases for the first few washes, it can then be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water moving forward. Hot water and dryers can shrink silk products and can also break down the silk fibers. Take care of your pillowcase, and it will take care of you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>5 reasons to switch to a silk pillowcase<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_323378\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/en-ca\/silk-pillowcase\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-323378\" loading='lazy' class=\"wp-image-323378 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/SpringPink-1@2x-1-700x449.jpg\" alt=\"Medium wide shot of pillow with pink silk pillowcase\" width=\"700\" height=\"449\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/SpringPink-1@2x-1-700x449.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/SpringPink-1@2x-1-250x161.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/SpringPink-1@2x-1-768x493.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/SpringPink-1@2x-1-120x77.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/SpringPink-1@2x-1-515x331.jpg 515w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/SpringPink-1@2x-1-480x308.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/SpringPink-1@2x-1-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/SpringPink-1@2x-1-600x385.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/SpringPink-1@2x-1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-323378\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The easiest way to protect against fine lines and split ends: sleeping!<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re still contemplating making the switch to a silk pillowcase, consider these five benefits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Keeps skin hydrated<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider a silk pillowcase as an essential part of your skincare routine. Silk absorbs less moisture than cotton<a href=\"#footnote1\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, so your skin stays more hydrated sleeping on a silk pillowcase even through the dry Canadian winters. This also means that the expensive serums and creams used on your face will stay on your face, instead of being absorbed into your pillowcase overnight.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Prevents wrinkles<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ve all heard that \u201cbeauty sleep\u201d is key to looking your best, but consider how the skin on your face is distorted each time you sleep. It\u2019s been noted that sleep is the second biggest cause of wrinkles after sun\/UV light exposure and it\u2019s not surprising given the amount of external forces<a href=\"#footnote2\"><sup>2<\/sup><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> placed on your facial skin from gravity and friction from the pillowcase and the amount of time we spend sleeping each year. Silk\u2019s slippery surface reduces friction to make it less likely that you\u2019ll get those embarrassing pillow creases the next morning as well as premature wrinkles over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Protects your hair<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.silkandsnow.com\/en-ca\/silk-pillowcase\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pure silk pillowcase<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is great for keeping bed head under control and extending the life of your blowout since its smooth surface allows your strands to easily glide across the surface as you toss and turn in the night. It reduces friction on your hair that can cause damage such as breakage and split ends or ruin a new set of eyelash extensions. Those with curly hair who struggle to maintain great looking curls will particularly benefit from silk\u2019s ability to keep tangles at bay. Silk\u2019s moisture retention properties also help to reduce frizz and maintain natural oils needed to keep hair calm and healthy in the hair, not in the pillowcase.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Naturally hypoallergenic<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Through evolution, the cocoon was designed to keep out predators such as dust mites and be resistant to mildew, fungus, and mould, so that the silkworm could mature into a silk moth. These all happen to be human allergens which can trigger or even cause allergic reactions that can disrupt a peaceful nights\u2019 sleep. Silk\u2019s long, smooth fibres are also great for those who experience skin allergies as it does not rub against or irritate the skin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Keeps you cool<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Silk is an incredibly breathable material, making it perfect for hot sleepers year-round. It\u2019s thermal stability means it stays cool and helps you fall asleep and stay asleep throughout the night.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Make the switch to Canada\u2019s best silk pillowcase<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Silk pillowcases are a great way to introduce luxury into your home. At less than $100, it\u2019s a great way to make a small investment in a quality product that can make a significant difference on your skin and hair over time.
