Putting silk in the dryer can damage the fabric due to the heat and tumbling motion. It may shrink, lose its shape, or even get wrinkled or creased. It's best to air dry silk by laying it flat on a towel to preserve its quality.
To dry your hair fast with a towel, gently squeeze out excess water from your hair using the towel. Then, wrap the towel around your head and leave it on for a few minutes to absorb more moisture. Avoid rubbing your hair vigorously with the towel to prevent damage and frizz.

The weight of silk can vary depending on factors such as the type of silk (such as mulberry silk or wild silk) and the thickness of the fabric. On average, silk fabric typically weighs around 1.06 ounces per square yard (36 grams per square meter).
Silk is not do much an invention as a discovery. ?The discovery that the cocoon of the silkworm moth lava could be boiled and unravelled as one continuous thread.

Silk typically takes about 24 to 48 hours to dry completely, depending on factors such as humidity, temperature, and air circulation. It's essential to dry silk away from direct sunlight to prevent damage and fading. Air drying is recommended, as using a dryer can cause shrinkage and damage to the fibers.
Silk fibers have a unique structure that weakens when it absorbs water, causing the fibers to swell and lose their strength. The hydrogen bonds in the proteins of silk are disrupted by water molecules, leading to decreased tensile strength compared to when the fibers are dry.
