Silk (Seta)
Silk, or seta, is a natural fiber produced by silkworms when they spin their cocoons. The silkworm secretes a liquid protein from special glands, which hardens upon exposure to air to form long, strong, and shiny threads. These threads are collected, cleaned, and woven into fabric known for its smooth texture, durability, and luxurious appearance. Silk has been valued for thousands of years and is often used in clothing, accessories, and textiles due to its elegant feel and natural luster.
