Silk, that most luxurious of
fabrics, brings to mind the
words sensuous, delicate —
and drycleaning.

But not necessarily. Today,
there is a new breed of silk
that is washable.

The silk is being used by
designers of sportswear and
casual apparel, formerly
dominated by such fabrics as
cotton fleece and crinkle
cotton blends. Designers are
catching on to a trend that
answers a need for a more
luxurious feeling fabric with
out the drawback of costly
upkeep.

Lucinda Jones, a Vancou
ver designer who imports
silk manufactured to her own
specifications, says all silk is

LONDON, Ont. (CP) —
Parents who believe a low-
risk birth can be performed
more safely in a hospital than
at home are committing “an
arrogancy against nature and
against God,” says a Dutch
midwii

ou should only do it in a
hospital when something is
wrong,” Beatrijs Smulders
told a news conference spon-
sored by the Association of
Ontario Midwives.

Smulders said that by
allowing doctors and hospi-
tals to perform “unnecessary
medical intervention, you get
a crazy technological ap-
proach in which you harm
women and babies (and) dis-
turb the bonding “between
the mother and the child
which is vital for the rest of
their lives.”

But the sportswear that

Montreal.

But customers need to be
educated about washable
silk, says Renee Ross-Davies,
a sales agent for The Clothes-
line, a Vancouver company
that sells several collections
of washable silk clothing.

“The silks should not look
brand new,” she says. “They
should look worn, comfort-
able and very wearable.”

Consumers \should not be
fearful of silk, says Jones.
“Normal wear doésn't age
silk, and raw silk stands up to
normal abrasion.”

However, caution must be
taken before dumping silk
into the suds. First check the
label to be sure the manu-
facturer recommends wash
ing. Drycleaning is recom
mended for silks that may
“bleed,” such as some prints
and garments in contrasting
colors.

Most manufacturers of
washable silk advocate hand
washing using a lingerie soap
and cool water, and rinsing
well. Hang to dry, because
it’s less hard on silk than
tumbling on a low heat.
Before it's completely dry,
cover the silk garment in a
clean plastic bag and place it
in the refrigerator until cold,
then press inside-out or with
a press cloth to avoid iron
marks.

“Silk enjoys soaking,” says
Jones, adding that letting the
fabric sit in sudsy water
removes dirt better than
agitation.
