The fabric tends to develop a yellow color over time and is particularly prone to perspiration stains. Traveling with silk clothes can be impractical, as silk wrinkles easily and requires a steam iron. Silk is also absorbent of water, so liquid stains are obvious.

This is an excerpt from the article "advantages and disadvantages of silk" that seeks to explain the nature of silk as an animal product and the advantage and disadvantage of this type of fabric over other types. The above section shows disadvantages of silk, however these disadvantages do not make it a bad and worthless material, on the contrary, silk is one of the most valued fabrics in the world, however its use requires specific and constant maintenance.
