I haven't tried it, but I think this would be one of the safest silk fabrics to
hand-wash. Julie Parker in her book All about silk says it could be hand-washed
- and should be rolled in a towel to dry. The same with silk shantung.
Interesting, she does not recommend this for douppioni. Probably because of the
shrinkage - shantung and taffeta are more tightly woven, so they would not
shrink that much.
