I have silk liner socks for hiking (wool over silk is the best combination for avoiding blisters), they're tumble dry low but that's what we always use anyway--I don't treat them any differently than anything else. (Yes, appearance doesn't matter one bit--nobody's ever going to see them. However, they have no marks despite the fact they obviously get a lot of sweat.)
My wife also has some silk that likewise is done tumble dry low without being an issue.
- 1attice 3y agoThe sheen of silk is altered by exposure to water, especially hot water, and uneven drying creates watermarks. "[Silk] may be dry-cleaned but should not be washed with water , as water can alter the sheen and crispness of the silk fibers and cause staining if dried unevenly."
