The history of silk dates back a long time. As the legend Hszi Ling Si Chinese empress, who lived about B.C 2640, accidentally dropped a cocoon into her hot tea, which got softened from the heat and dipped a long and soft yarn.

Today, Chine is one of the largest silk-producing countries, over 70% of the world’s silk production comes from it.

Silk plays a very important role in between the textile products. Due to its rarity and labor-intensive production the silk is an expensive luxurious item.

In the common language, silk is the name of any artificial lining or curtain material. Officially silk is only called material made from silkworm cocoon. 
Even today, silk is considered a luxurious item, giving the wearer an elegant, sophisticated look and appearance.
There are several types of silk. I usually paint for habota/pongé silk and I use kreppdesin silk as well. This is a heavier, thicker touch, shiny surface silk.

Careful care is required, hand-washing is recommended in lukewarm water with soft-detergency.
