Silk filament

Silk filament is a natural fiber produced by silkworms as they spin cocoons. This fiber consists of long, strong threads made of proteins called fibroin, which are spun together to form a continuous filament. Silk fibers are prized for their smooth texture, strength, and lustrous appearance. They are harvested by carefully boiling the cocoons to extract the filaments, which can then be woven into luxurious fabrics. Silk filament's unique qualities—lightweight, breathable, and gentle on the skin—make it a highly valued material in textiles and fashion.
