Q. How can one find out if the quality of silk is good or not?

Answer

One can find out whether the quality of the silk is good or not by feeling the texture of the saree. The texture of good quality silk saree is even and smooth. You can perform a burn test to check the authenticity and quality of the thread by burning a few silk threads of the saree. If the smell is the same as burnt hair and if the ash is black and crispy then it is a sign that the quality of the silk is good.
