Silk Cotton Fabric

Silk cotton at TradeUNO — cotton-silk blends in plain weave at 44 and 60 inches, including finished cotton silk dupattas.

The blend exists to solve a comfort problem: pure silk is warm and demands dry cleaning, pure cotton has no sheen. Mixing them gives a cloth with a soft lustre on the face and cotton's breathability against the skin — wearable in Indian heat but dressy enough for occasion wear.

It takes dye and zari work well and holds a light structure. Per-metre prices are listed on each product page.
