silk thread

Silk thread is a natural fiber produced by silkworms, primarily the silkworm larvae of the silkmoth. These insects create the thread to build cocoons during their pupal stage. The silkworm secretes a liquid protein from special glands, which hardens upon exposure to air, forming a long, strong, and smooth fiber. This fiber is carefully harvested from the cocoons, then cleaned and spun into fine, glossy thread known as silk. Revered for its strength, luster, and softness, silk thread is widely used in high-quality textiles, garments, and luxury fabrics.
