These handcrafted, high quality silk patchwork quilts  are made by the people in northern Thailand.

     Each quilt is made of 100 percent silk on both sides, the top and back, with pieces of black  silk or other silk patchworks as the back.

     For a care recommendation for this  silk patchwork quilt, dry-cleaning is preferable to keep this  quilt in good condition and maintain its original beauty and  texture.  If it is hand-washed, it's better to use the  mildest soap.  Rinse the silk item thoroughly in tepid  water; never wring it.   Add a spoon of clear, white  vinegar in the last rinse to retain its original luster.    Drip dry in the shade, preferably where there's a mild  breeze and do not leave crumpled or creased while wet; make  sure that it is well supported. 

     A washing machine can also be used but the quilt should  be kept inside a cloth bag while washing.
