Can I used other silk instead of mulberry silk???

[@lanseitutorial]

Hey there, thanks for reaching out! We spoke with our Ronghua artisans, and they highly recommend using mulberry silk over other types. They explained that mulberry silk fibers are finer and more uniform, which contributes to better overall quality. Plus, the natural sheen and luster of mulberry silk make it a standout choice. Let us know if you have any other questions!
