Mulberry silk is the
highest quality silk available for purchase. The unique thing about Mulberry
silk is how it is produced. Local farmers grow mulberry leaves for silkworms to
feed on. The resulting cocoons are spun into raw Mulberry silk fibres. The
resulting silk is some of the finest available in the world. Mulberry silk is
more refined than other types of silk. Other types of silks such as wild silk
are less uniform in colour and texture, with shorter strands. Products made
from 100% Mulberry silk are among the most durable and most luxurious silk
goods.
One of the unique benefits
of Mulberry Silk is that it is 100% natural, odourless and hypoallergenic.
The History of Silk
Silk
has been known to man for approx. 5000 years. Its discovery is attributed to
Xiling, wife of the Chinese Emperor Huang-Di.
This
is how the story of one of the most elegant natural fabric success got
started.
Silk
came from China to Persia, Korea and Japan. Up
until the 13th century silk was only available as an oriental import and only
very wealthy people could afford it.
In Europe, while under Norman Rule,
Southern Italy became an important centre for breeding silkworms and spinning
silk. For a long time Italy remained the
leading silk country in Europe until France expanded its silk weaving in the
middle of the 17th century and surpassed Italy.
Compared
to the world's total fibre production, silk fibres only make up less than 1%.
