To check silk quality before buying, first, do a burn test by taking a small thread-pure silk burns with a smell like burnt hair and leaves ash, while synthetic silk melts. Next, rub the fabric between your fingers; pure silk feels warm, while artificial silk stays cool. Check the weave and shine-real silk has an uneven, soft sheen, while fake silk looks overly shiny. Finally, look for the silk mark certification, which guarantees authenticity. Always buy from trusted sellers to ensure you get genuine silk.
