Silk

Silk is the name given to the protein-containing fiber obtained from the cocoons of the silkworm. It was originally obtained as early as about 2800 BC in ancient China, and now also in Japan and India.

The silk fabric is characterized mainly by its characteristic luster. In addition, silk is able to produce very intense colors, hardly tends to wrinkle and has a high strength. However, one should be careful with abrasion and high temperatures.

Silk is considered the only natural fiber that occurs endlessly in nature. To produce 250g of silk thread, about 3000 cocoons are needed. Wild silk is obtained from the cocoons of already hatched butterflies.

Different weaving processes result in different qualities and types of fabric, some of which are known, for example, as: Brocade, Duchesse, Organza or even Satin. In addition, silk is also called by its origin, such as the Ahimsa silk, Yamamai silk and the mulberry silk.

Care: It is recommended to clean silk fabrics carefully by hand, because they are very sensitive to water. Here you should use a silk detergent and make sure that no soap residue remains. When drying, do not wring out the silk fabric, as it is very sensitive to shape when wet. The washing instructions should always be taken into account!
