The Beginning of Something Beautiful
Welcome to The Silk Edit, an editorial publication from Blush Silks created for thoughtful stories, trusted guidance and a deeper exploration of the world of Mulberry Silk.
Every Beautiful Journey Begins with a Question
Sometimes it begins with a simple question: What makes Mulberry Silk so special?
Sometimes it begins with the feeling of silk for the very first time, a thoughtful gift or the search for a gentler, more considered nighttime routine.
However it begins, every journey deserves a place where questions are welcomed, knowledge is shared and beautiful things are understood.
Welcome to The Silk Edit.
Over more than five years, one thing has become wonderfully clear. Whether someone is purchasing their first silk pillowcase or adding another piece to a growing collection, the questions are always thoughtful.
What does 22 Momme actually mean?
How is Mulberry Silk different from satin?
How should I wash my silk pillowcase?
Which silk essential is right for me?
Do I need a silk bonnet if I already use a silk pillowcase?
Every email, every conversation and every question has become part of the Blush Silks story.
Many of those conversations began with practical advice, but often became something more. They opened discussions about craftsmanship, quality, care and the simple pleasure of surrounding ourselves with things that are thoughtfully made.
Over time, those conversations inspired an idea. What if there were a place where these questions could be explored with the care they deserve—a place where learning about Mulberry Silk felt just as thoughtful and enjoyable as experiencing it?
That idea became The Silk Edit.
Many of the questions we have received over the years will become future editions, giving us the space to explore each subject with greater clarity, warmth and detail. Whether you are here to discover something new, deepen your understanding or simply enjoy a quiet moment with a cup of tea and a good read, we are delighted you have joined us.
A New Editorial Chapter
Why We Created The Silk Edit
Beautiful products are only part of the story. Understanding why they matter, how they are crafted and how they can become part of everyday life is what makes a choice feel more meaningful.
When Blush Silks began, our vision was simple: to offer exceptional Mulberry Silk essentials while helping people make informed, confident choices. Over the years, that vision has grown through countless conversations with customers seeking clear, honest guidance.
Some wanted to understand the difference between Mulberry Silk and satin. Others wanted to know why Momme weight matters, how to care for silk properly or which silk essential would best suit their routine.
These were never simply customer enquiries. They became conversations that revealed what people were really looking for—not only beautiful silk, but clarity, confidence and information they could trust.
The Silk Edit was created to bring those conversations together in one place.
Some editions will answer a single question in depth. Others will explore craftsmanship, introduce a new collection, share seasonal inspiration or take readers behind the scenes of Blush Silks. Every edition will be guided by the same purpose: to make the world of silk easier to understand and more enjoyable to experience.
This vision grew naturally from the story of Blush Silks and its founder, Christine Steele. As a Canadian, woman-founded company based in Brandon, Manitoba, Blush Silks has always been shaped by personal service, careful product selection and a genuine desire to help customers understand what they are choosing.
“Beautiful products deserve beautiful education.”
One Connected Experience
More Than One Place to Learn
As our collections have grown, so has the amount of information we have wanted to share. We also realised that not every reader is looking for the same experience.
Sometimes you need a quick answer before making a purchase. Other times, you may want to explore the world of Mulberry Silk in greater depth, moving naturally from one subject to the next.
That is why we created three destinations that work together, each with a different purpose.
The Ultimate Guide to Mulberry Silk
Begin with the Ultimate Guide when you want the complete story. It brings together silk origins, production, quality, Momme weight, Grade 6A, certification, fabric comparisons, benefits, product selection, sizing and care in one comprehensive resource.
It can be read from beginning to end or revisited whenever you would like to explore a particular chapter in greater detail.
Explore the Ultimate GuideThe Silk Knowledge Centre
Visit the Knowledge Centre when you need a direct answer. It brings together frequently asked questions about silk quality, pillowcases, scrunchies, bonnets, eye masks, sizing, washing, comfort, shipping and more.
Search by keyword or browse by topic to move quickly to the information that matters most in that moment.
Visit the Knowledge CentreEvery Question Has a Place
The Complete Story, the Exact Answer or a Moment to Explore
Not every question needs a long answer.
Sometimes you are looking for a simple care instruction before washing your silk pillowcase for the first time. At other moments, you may find yourself curious about the history of silk, wondering what makes 22 Momme so distinctive or exploring the craftsmanship behind the pieces you use every day.
If you are searching for a quick answer, the Silk Knowledge Centre is there to help. If you would like to explore every aspect of Mulberry Silk in greater depth, the Ultimate Guide brings the complete learning journey together.
And when you would like to slow down, discover something new or simply enjoy reading about the beauty and craftsmanship of silk, we hope you will spend some time here in The Silk Edit.
Together, these three destinations create one connected experience—whether you have five minutes, one particular question or the curiosity to begin at the very start.
Explore by Interest
Where Would You Like to Begin?
There is no single correct place to begin with silk. For some people, the first introduction is a pillowcase. For others, it is a scrunchie, bonnet or eye mask that becomes part of an existing routine.
Each collection below offers a different way to experience the smooth texture, softness and everyday beauty of Mulberry Silk.
Mulberry Silk Pillowcases
Explore 22 Momme Grade 6A Mulberry Silk pillowcases in Queen and King sizes, created for a smooth, breathable and luxurious sleep surface.
Hair · Everyday StylingMulberry Silk Scrunchies
Discover silk scrunchies in a range of sizes for ponytails, buns, braids and gentler everyday styling with less friction than many traditional hair ties.
Overnight Hair RoutineMulberry Silk Tie Bonnets
Explore adjustable tie bonnets designed to comfortably contain curls, waves, braids and other hairstyles while you sleep.
Rest · Travel · RelaxationMulberry Silk Eye Masks
Create a darker resting environment with a softly padded silk eye mask for bedtime, travel, naps or quiet relaxation.
From the Founder
A Personal Note from Christine
When I founded Blush Silks more than five years ago, I could never have imagined how many wonderful conversations would grow from a simple love of beautiful Mulberry Silk.
What has stayed with me most is not only the products we have created, but the people I have had the privilege of meeting along the way.
I have answered many questions from customers beginning their own silk journey. Some were choosing their very first pillowcase, while others wanted to understand the finer details of silk grades, craftsmanship or care. Every conversation has been an opportunity to learn—not only about silk, but about the people who welcome it into their homes.
Those conversations have shaped Blush Silks in countless ways, and they have inspired this publication.
My hope is that The Silk Edit becomes more than a place to read about silk. I hope it becomes somewhere you return whenever you are curious, looking for guidance or simply wanting to learn something new.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Whether you have supported Blush Silks for years or have only just discovered us, I am genuinely grateful you are here.
Warmly,
Christine Steele
Founder, Blush Silks

Looking Ahead
The First Page of Something Beautiful
This first edition marks the beginning of something we have wanted to create for a long time.

Some editions will answer one question in depth. Others will share behind-the-scenes stories, seasonal inspiration or thoughtful ideas for caring for the silk pieces you love.
Whatever the subject, every edition will be guided by the same philosophy that has shaped Blush Silks from the beginning: honest guidance, trusted knowledge and beautifully crafted products that bring a little everyday luxury into your life.
