Silk (material)

Silk is a luxurious, natural fiber produced by silkworms, primarily the bombyx mori species. It is renowned for its softness, sheen, and strength, making it a popular choice for high-end clothing, bedding, and accessories. The production process, known as sericulture, involves carefully raising silkworms and harvesting the cocoons they spin. Silk is also valued for its unique properties, such as being breathable, moisture-wicking, and hypoallergenic. With a rich history dating back thousands of years, silk has been associated with beauty and wealth in many cultures around the world.
