Silk is notoriously valuable and of ancient origin; in fact, for a long time it was the favoured product of the Chinese market. Its fibre is obtained from the lepidopteran, better known as silkwormTherefore, unlike cotton or hemp, it is of animal origin. The silkworm produces a cocoon consisting of a single continuous thread, produced in about 3-4 days, which undergoes several processes in order to be spun.

Why silk
Silk is an extremely valuable yarn and our task is to offer fabrics, like silk, that maintain their intrinsic qualities unchanged, without contaminating the yarn by compromising those characteristics that make it unique: its softness, unparalleled lustre and tactile pleasantness.
We do not simply offer a fabric, but a philosophy independent of production rhythms and true to the value of these fibres. Silk, specifically, is chosen for its extreme elegance, for its light fibre, for its absorbent properties, although lustre remains the hallmark, unmatched by other fabrics.

Strengths
There is no doubt that silk is still so valued today for its natural qualities. Its cost is higher due to the fact that the fibre is processed from the silkworm, a painstaking and slow operation, which, combined with the quality of the final product, justifies its price. Once the raw silk is cleaned, treated and carded, the yarn displays its best-known and most valued characteristics, such as extreme gloss, as well as being able to absorb dyes with ease, resulting in exceptional shades. Our company offers different types of ecyclable silk,as: Mulberry, SILKY jerseys; WILD jeresys; Burette; Tussah; Cocoon; Schappe GRS.
