Yes, compared to many synthetic fabrics, mulberry silk can wrinkle more easily.
Silk, being a natural fiber, is not as wrinkle resistant as other fabrics made from synthetic fibers such as polyester or nylon.
When creases do form on a silk garment, they can be quite noticeable. This is because most silk fabrics, including mulberry silk, are known for having an ultra smooth surface, which means the wrinkles may look more exaggerated.
Here's a quick breakdown:
- Natural Fiber: Silk is naturally less resistant to wrinkling than synthetic alternatives designed for durability and crease recovery.
- Smooth Surface: The luxurious smoothness of mulberry silk makes wrinkles more prominent visually.
Therefore, while incredibly beautiful and comfortable, mulberry silk requires more care to keep it wrinkle-free compared to materials like polyester.
