Frequently Asked Questions
Does milk fabric shrink after washing?
Yes, milk fabric can shrink 3 to 5 percent on the first wash if exposed to hot water or vigorous agitation. Cold hand wash, gentle cycle, and shade drying minimise shrinkage and keep the casein fibre stable across washes.
Is milk fabric suitable for Indian summers?
Yes, milk fabric is well suited to Indian summers because the protein fibre is naturally moisture-wicking, breathable, and lightweight at 70 to 80 GSM. It feels cool against the skin and dries faster than most silk at comparable weight.
What is the price of milk fabric per meter?
Milk fabric price per meter in India is ₹585 for SU-ML-101 at 70 to 80 GSM and 56 inch width. Bulk pricing for orders above 100 meters can be requested directly from the wholesale team.
Is milk fabric hypoallergenic?
Yes, milk fabric is naturally hypoallergenic because the casein protein fibre is gentle on skin and free from common allergens found in synthetic textiles. This makes milk fabric a strong choice for sensitive-skin wear and comfortable next-to-skin layers.
How does milk fabric compare to silk?
Milk fabric mimics silk in softness, sheen, and drape but stays lighter, more breathable, and more affordable per meter. Pure silk holds slightly more lustre, while milk fabric offers stronger moisture-wicking and a hand closer to fine cashmere.
