How do all of you prewash a silk/rayon blend? I purchased a 55% silk
45% rayon blend from Thai Silks. Normally I wash silk with shampoo, but
I have had terrible luck with rayon shrinking on me. Or, do you just
not prewash and then never wash?
Thanks.

Depending on the weave, I'd just throw it in the washer. If you got
something really gauzy, use the delicate cycle, but otherwise, a
regular wash and a regular dry will be just fine. Rayon tends to
have a lot of stuff in the lint trap the first few washes, but that
won't affect the silk any. I always like to think that my blends
increase a bit more in the silk or linen and decrease a bit in the
rayon percentages. GRIN
Its really not as delicate as we are usually lead to believe.
Good Luck
