Information About Silk

Silk is made from the cocoons of silkworm larvae reared in captivity, mainly feeding on leaves from the Mulberry tree. Silk has a shimmering appearance due to its fibers having a prism like structure allowing light to be refracted at different angles.

Possibly as early as 6000 BC silk was found in China. Its texture and luster meant silk rapidly became a popular luxury fabric.

Silk is cool to wear in summer and warm in winter. Making it ideal for bed-ware.
