Using pure silk in clothing is a good idea because of its smooth appearance, durability, and moisture wicking properties. It is also anti-allergenic and has a matte finish.
There are a few different types of pure silk fabrics, but they all share common traits. These include:
Raw silk
The silk that is produced from the cocoons of the silkworms consists of the strongest protein fiber fibroin. The fibers are spun into yarns and processed by machines to become silk fabrics.
It can be graded by varying degrees of processing to make it easier to use and more durable. Originally, workers would spool threads of silk between pins and wheels. The distance between the pins and wheel was determined by the amount of restraining force necessary to keep the silk threads from unraveling.
Various types of silk are produced around the world, with some popular choices including Mulberry silk, Eri silk, Tasar silk and Muga silk. A wide range of colors and finishes are available for silk fabric, so it’s important to choose the right one to suit your style.
