Satin Silk Scarf

What is the difference between satin 100% silk scarves and chiffon 100% scarves?

The difference is the tightness of the weave. Satin scarves are tightly woven and therefore have no transparency. They have a shiny, glossy surface on one side and are duller on the other side. Chiffon scarves have a fine weave, are lightweight, sheer, and therefore breathable.

Both satin and chiffon scarves are made from the floss spun by silkworms or similar insects. They have different textures, but they are all woven 100% from the products of silk-spinning insects. They are 100% natural and hypoallergenic.

Born in Michigan but raised in Texas, Susan Coleman moved to Young Harris, Georgia with her husband and mom in 2017. She had asked her husband to relocate to a place after his retirement that would move them away from the Texas heat, big city life, and horrific traffic with lots of road rage.

Susan was motivated to create scarves due to her love of enjoying
learning new crafts. She took felting classes at the Alpaca Farm in
Blairsville, Georgia. Later, she took a class there on ecoprinting - using leaves and other vegetation and flowers to create unique prints on fabric. It was such an enjoyable experience for her. Susan was signed up for a dyeing silk scarves class, but COVID hit. Her fear of exposing her mom, who had been in hospice for over three years, to COVID prevented her from taking this class. She and her husband are her mother’s caregivers. With a lot of research, Susan taught herself how to ice dye silk scarves and how to dye silk scarves using Spectrum Bleeding Tissue Paper.

The thing Susan loves the most during the process of making scarves is “the reveal” – “I love seeing how my color choices/combinations turn out. Because of the layout, even if I use the same colors, no two scarves turn out the same – each is unique”
