Silk fabric is a luxurious and popular choice, especially suited for bridal gowns, parachutes, bedding, and upholstery as it oozes opulence. But just how is silk made, and how did it become so popular as a textile?
Among the world’s naturally occurring textiles, silk has the highest durability. While a bio-lab-engineered man-man fabric has recently outperformed this, nothing has yet to match its natural strength. Fibroin is a natural secretion that silkworms produce when spinning silk for their cocoons. Silk is only made from the larvae of the Bombyx Mori insect, which can only be found on mulberry trees. Silk’s distinctive shimmer is caused by the way its fibers are arranged, like a triangular prism, which only shows up under certain lighting conditions.
In addition to its use in the textile and apparel industries, silk is also widely used in the upholstery and parachuting sectors. Silk is widely used in the medical and surgical fields because it is a strong yet pliable material, making it ideal for sutures and wound closure.
Silk is frequently chosen for men’s suits and dress ties, and for women’s scarves and shawls. However, it is also a favorite among makers of blouses and underwear. When it comes to luxurious home decors, such as curtains, soft drapes, and expensive bedding, silk is a go-to material. Silk is also used for the inner casing of bicycle tires.
