The description says 100% silk, are these pillow cases sewn with silk thread? Polyester thread is too strong, over time it will tear through the silk.

The case has French seams at the sides and end of case is turned over so I can't see the ends of the sewing thread. I have silk thread for quilting and that thread is smaller than the thread used in the case. I'm rough on the case and see some tiny pulling and separation of the fabric, but no breakage yet. I'm GUESSING the sewing thread is silk but don't know for sure. Silk thread is quite expensive so its possible it might be cotton. At the price point of this case, I am still getting my money's worth.

I think that's a question for the manufacturer. I strongly doubt it's silk thread. I'm a seamstress and I can't tell. Nothing lasts forever! I'm very happy with the pillow case. I've been hand washing it and line drying, but I just put it through the regular washer and dryer and it came out beautifully. I would imagine doing that on a regular basis would break down the silk sooner. I'll probably have different colored sheets by then! I plan to buy more cases as gifts - they're a great buy!

I imagine it is silk thread. I can't tell you I'm 100% certain. However, these pillow cases have withstood my two German Shepherds, one golden retriever & a cat jumping around & playing on my bed with no freys or tares.

Exactly. Amazon needs to fix that. I bought them and I can guarantee you that they are in fact 100% Polyester.

Yes, sheets have silk sateen finish and I love them. I highly recommend them. They are better than ones I have purchased at a much higher price.

It is 100% silk. I purchased 2 of them and have been extremely pleased in all aspects.

Egyptian quality is not 100% Egyptian Cotton. More than likely polyester blend. These are not true Egyptian Cotton sheets. They must say 100% Egyptian Cotton with no other blends.

I work with 100% cotton fabric and they do hold. I'm not sure how they would hold with silk or similar fabrics. Pins might be a better option for finer fabrics.

According to label they are 100% silk. Very smooth and comfortable. I recommend them!

The pillow case is standard size. All of the items in my set are 100% polyester.

I find that silk pillowcases are best for me. The polyester still pulls and snags my hair more than I'd like

I emailed Spasilk directly through their website regarding the same question. Spasilk replied that all their Silk pillows are 16 momme (mm) 100% Charmeuse Silk. (not blended with Polyester or Satin). I have one, great quality! They are thinner but from what I read online you do Not want your silk to be less than or more than 16 mm-19 mm. Anything less or more is not recommended

Thread count is a measurement of cotton quality. The term is not used for silk. I have a set of the pillow cases and have washed on delicate cycle. Great quality

Everyone answering this with the statement that they are cotton really needs to check the sewn in tag! I don't see 100 % cotton anywhere in the headline or description. This sheet set is 100 % polyester. Does feel like microfiber which is what the description says. I bought the chocolate colored set. UPDATED: I now see a photo that shows packaging stating 100% egyptian cotton. I believe this is only there because it is what they are comparing these sheet to. In all reality they are 100% polyester as I stated above. I took that information directly off the sewn in tag. They feel wonderful and I am extremely satisified with my purchase.

They are 100 percent polyester and I personally do not care for them. They are thin and fit the mattress very loosely.

Thanks for asking! The sheets are made of egyptian cotton. This cotton has the longest fibers and is most durable and least apt to form pills. They are 300 thread count, sateen weave.

It is a very sturdy and soft fabric. I'm not sure of the content... my best guess is a type of poly. Hope that helps. I cut down a jersey knit pillow case, to sew a small case for it. Very easy to launder that way. Best of luck~

Yes.I only use 100% cotton,because I have found that any man-made product,such as polyester,etc.,cause the fabric to "pill"which becomes rough and irritating,after repeated washing and using a dryer.(I have found that Indian,Turkish,and Egyptian cotton products are superior to those marked MADE IN CHINA.There are some tricks that using cotton thread spun in a different way,or splitting the cotton fiber,can make you believe that you are getting a good deal,but I suggest that everyone update themselves in how the cotton fiber is spun,woven,and actually what the 'THREADS PER SQUARE INCH,"REALLY MEANS TO YOUR COMFORT.THESE SHEETS WERE A GOOD DEAL,AND ARE LIKE SATEEN..VERY NICE.
