The History of Silk
The history of silk goes back to the ancient times. It was used in a variety of ways, including as a currency. There were important trade routes in Asia and Europe, and silk was often traded for. Silk is a breathable, absorbent material that is soft and comfortable. Many people use it for clothing, bedding, and upholstery. Besides being a comfortable fabric, silk is durable, lightweight, and able to wick away moisture from the body. Silk is used in a wide variety of materials, from bicycle tires to fancy curtains. Because it is so durable, it is frequently mixed with other fibers to improve its strength.
Originally, silk was made from the cocoons of silkworms. However, today, the worms are raised in captivity. They are then spun into thread and weaved into a beautiful cloth. In addition to being a valuable commodity, silk is also useful in medicine. The protein fiber in silk is called fibroin. It contains amino acids Gly-Ser-Gly-Ala-Gly-Ala. This protein forms the beta pleated sheets of silk. Today, silk is produced from the larvae of the Bombyx mori. These insects feed on mulberry plants. When the larvae pupate, they produce a silk strand. Once the silk strand is woven into a cloth, it is usually dyed. In addition to being a durable, flexible, and lightweight fabric, silk is a natural fabric that is beautiful. Silk is also used to make high-end clothing. A silk dress is an elegant item to wear for special occasions.
